Teton Gravity Research just released the first of many “Further Unplugged” webisodes in support of Jeremy Jones’ forthcoming two-year project.

“In the first episode of Further Unplugged, Jones travels to Japan to snowboard with Josh Dirksen and Forrest Shearer. With the help of Japanese mountain guide “Yeti” Dave, the group explores the Japanese Alps on splitboards and scores deep powder turns. But the true adventure begins when a blizzard moves in and the crew must hunker down in a high alpine refuge.”

This makes us want to get off our asses and go split–it’s that time of year, after all.
