Setting aside road bikes for a moment, CT and a group of cycling friends head to Iwahara Ski Resort in Echigo-Yuzawa, Niigata, Japan, for an exciting and hilarious first-time skiing experience and mini honeymoon. The entire group of beginners splits into two teams, trying snowboarding and skiing respectively. Through the lens of the GoPro MAX 360 action camera, the video captures the chaotic chain of falls, from putting on boots and struggling with bindings to riding the lift and tackling the first steep slope. It also highlights how a road cyclist's leg strength and core can be an advantage on the snow, and puts a skiing-specific app's tracking to the test—full of highlights and laughs.
