    Hello Akatarawa Japan!
    It occurred to me this evening that while I had subscribed to your channel last year, I hadn't seen a video in a while. Time to check out your channel and I found a spring ride I hadn't seen. As always, it was very entertaining, and your commentary is stellar, if sprinkled with a dump truck full of secret humor.
    Time to see what else you have....... 🙂

      There’s a lot we can learn from deer goats. I’m thinking of hiring one as an assistant guide.

    Wise words were spoken! I once followed a guide of guide. Now, I m working for him😂. These guide overseer have so much power and knowledge, if they would stop guiding they would be able to save the world. You need a rental service with your guide guiding tour. Spring snow is a hard one, your impersonation of a guy that was scared on the hill was perfect.

      You have spoken even wiser words, Sensei. I do have a full rental fleet that I will show in my guiding business update soon. A lot has happened since I opened for business.

      I'm more of an academic guide, but I'm pretty sure I could master the derp and slurp of BC if I read a good book about it. So long as the reading environment was flat with good visibility.

    Like #27. Being on your own in business is scary but its better than punching the time clock. Anyhoo, the video shows set up snow. What months are where you are in the "Pow" months, breaking fresh snow and not driving on set-up(hero) snow? Where I am in Canada, our pow months are Mid Dec to about Mid Feb, from then on, it snows less and gets hero snow; can go anywhere.

    • @AkatarawaJapan
      @AkatarawaJapan  Před rokem +2

      Pow months are the same here, but all snow is hero snow if you lie about it later. Don’t punch a time clock - punch a goat deer! They love it.
