As editor of Bravoski Magazine, Tatsuya Tayagaki’s job is to keep his finger on the pulse of Freeskiing in Japan. He travels the country in his home-on-wheels in search of passionate skiers and hope after the nation was devastated by an earthquake and tsunami in 2011.

For this new episode, Rancho, the “vintage destroy skier” goes back to explore where it all began, Brittish Columbia with Eric and Logan Pehota, two local legends. With his moustache, spurs, snowmobile and Soul 7 skis, he goes for an adventure in the Canadian powder on the trail of the modern day skier.
