'Mori' Film 2023

'Mori' is a film by Dylan Robinson documenting the return to the deep powder tree skiing of Japan. Featuring skier Drew Jolowicz it conveys the feeling of traveling to a small Japanese village and experiencing the calm yet breathtaking feeling of floating through the forest (Mori). Supported by Arc'teryx AU and Mountain Safety Collective.

Mate this is incredible! masterpiece of a video

[@carlopelzen6515]

Super, ultra, IPER, mega fantastic scene. I am very very envious for what you have found in this place. Powder snow, dry cold and warm friendship! This is the most ingredient for a unforgettable vacation.

[@dylrobinson]

Beautiful film Dylan!
I can't wait to get back to Japan in January!

[@dylrobinson]

Cheers! Enjoy the trip!

[@RoyKAWAI1966]

Cool !!

[@billydoesntexist5061]

Great message! Watching this inside, escaping the forest fire smoke, dreaming of fresh cold air. I agree that skinning up a track is not nearly as bad as some people make it out, and makes for a way more rewarding day of skiing. Cheers man!

[@snowstash]

This is amazing!!! ❤

[@dylrobinson]

Thank you!

[@cookieyt5654]

This is a cool place❤

[@tonymallis2185]

wow

[@hiroherohokkaidotakahashi5560]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@NathanStrenge]

Looks like Tohoku. I'm a Zao local. Hit me up next time you pass through.

[@10babiscar]

consider kamchatka one day, very similar snow conditions to japan but peak season is march to may

[@_chadtest]

Pretty awesome video. Nice editing. Badass

[@benjaminhall3188]

Any chance to get a gear breakdown please? Skis, boots, skins, bindings tips, thanks for a beautiful vid ❤

[@terrykennedy1668]

Very nice video I love Japan ! What kind of camera did you use for the movie ? Thanks a lot

[@Beyonder1881]

Lovely edit. That one shot of the rotemburo (outdoor bath) was that not Maguse Onsen?

[@dylrobinson]

Correct!

[@МихонКри]

Очень классный фильм, близкий мне посыл. Я сам горнолыжник и живу этим. Удачи и новых кинокартин тебе!!!

[@hain_maby]

bro need more likes

[@puglet64]

Where was this filmed? Looks like the Japanese Alps, not Hokkaido, but maybe it combines the two?

[@HanaFilms1]

I'm 99% sure this is Nozawa onsen with the fire festival and the town streets!

[@puglet64]

@@HanaFilms1 thanks! Nozawa Onsen is on my bucket list

[@dylrobinson]

Mostly around Nozawa, some sections Hokkaido. Cheers

[@MrCoorni1]

a beautiful work of art! i am interested in your setup. how did you film the project? i did a smaller project in powder and had quite a hard time filming because of the deep snow, how do you do it?

[@harukay2503]

What gear did u use to film this? Such a good video

[@irene8064]

Where exactly in Japan?

[@dylrobinson]

Nagano prefecture :)

[@jackasscou]

Very nice video with great shots and wonderful conditions, but talking about carbon neutrality when you go skiing in Japan from Australia ? I dont know what you do all year long to reduce your footprint but I think it would have been more appropriate to simply talk about nature without involving this.

[@MrOrijen]

Agreed 100%! Just another hypocrite

[@dylrobinson]

Thanks for your input! Every little bit we do counts. Glad you enjoyed the film :)

[@melonheadgaming4254]

what's wrong with going skiing lol wtf

[@amos7073]

*PromoSM* ☹️

[@ezekielbarnett5138]

nice shots and what a spot, but could you not find a more talented / interesting skier?

[@TheGizmoproc]

Beautiful film. The ecological footprint comments seem hypocritical. It’s obvious that guy flew and drove to this amazing place. Arc’teryx white washing to sell gear? Disappointing and misleading. 👎

[@MrOrijen]

Agreed 100%

[@dylrobinson]

Thank you! Every little bit we do counts. I feel not to take away from those making a concious effort, even if it's not perfect. None of us are, but as long as we try.

[@JackOutLoud]

I was loving this until we got a lecture on carbon foot print. I dont want to go to your church of ESG so no thanks. It’s like a commerical for Jehovas witness only in the snow in Japan.

[@pureflip]

wow. hardly a lecture mate. he literally made a statement - you can agree or disgree with it. and he speaks the truth - we need to reduce our footprint or else dumps in Japan will be less requent and skiing may become a thing of the past.
