Last night was the **Hakuba** Premier of the second installment in Big Mountain Legend, **[Jeremy Jones](https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/jeremy-jones/id363950921)`** snowboard movie trilogy, ***Deeper**, **Further**, **Higher**….and i gotta say, it was some inspiring stuff.*

In[ **Further**](https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/further-teton-gravity-research/id568174270) Jeremy & pals like **[Terje Haakonsen](https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/terje-haakonsen/id362701011)** & **[Josh Dirksen](https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/josh-dirksen/id363950931)** push the limits of backcountry adventure, going to some really remote places with really gnarly lines. Camping out for weeks in **the Wrangell Mountains** in Alaska *(an extreme environment where humans aren`t really meant to be)* & **the Atomfjella Mountains** in Norway`s far North *(they had clear views of the North Pole from some of their summits!)* were 2 of the highlights for me….

…but the real highlight for me *(& all the other Hakuba-ites gathered in the theater)* was the first segment, where Jeremy & **[Forrest Shearer](https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/forrest-shearer/id410514147)** discover the magnitude of world-class terrain that is our backyard here in Hakuba. They spent nearly a month here camping, climbing & rapidly descending some of the finest lines on the planet. Indeed Jeremy himself gave Hakuba a heart-felt endorsement, proclaiming it amongst the best terrain he has ever ridden*….and lets not forget, this guy has been absolutely shredding Alaska for the past 20 years.*

And this wasn` just lip-service as its what we have known since we first  came here 12 years ago. *Very good terrain with very good snow!*

Anyhow, Further is well-worth checking out.It`s available on here on **[itunes](https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/further-teton-gravity-research/id568174270 "Further Teton Gravity")**.

It was great to see all of Hakuba there last night & i think we`re all now eagerly anticipating the coming season. *Be safe & pray for big snow!*
