Jordan Manley has just released the first episode of third season of his web series, “A Skier’s Journey.” This episode takes place in Japan. According to Jordan:

Follow skiers Chad Sayers and Forrest Coots through Japan as they explore a world of contrasts. From Tokyo’s city lights to Hokkaido’s sacred hardwood forests, this episode explores spaces of simultaneous anonymity & intimacy, rigid tradition & an embrace for the future, finding epic powder each step along the way.
