    We had such a good time with Sammy Carlson and Yu Sasaki, we kept it going.  This is an extention of PART 1.   In this one we tell some good stories about getting into car accidents on the same day,  keeping wild animals as house pets and going to crazy Japanese festivals.  Sammy shares why he skis on King Pins and tells us about the huge amount of footage that we haven’t seen yet.

    Sammy Carlson and Yu Sasaki have been skiing and filming together in their adopted home town of Revelstoke for the last couple years.  We all met up at Sammy’s log cabin in the woods to record a mega episode.   This is part 1.   Yu tells us about originally moving to Whistler when he graduated highschool and working in a sushi restaurant because that was one of the only jobs for a non- english speaking Japanese skier to find.   He decided that Canada was where he wanted to stay and got married,  had kids and started a successful food truck business all while competiing on the Freeride World Tour.    Sammy tells us about his terrific new film, “YUP”, how the soundtrack came together, how the two started to ski with each other and lots, lots more.
