Richard Permin was seriously injured after a big crash a couple months before I shot with him on this trip to Japan. The doctor said he would never walk properly again and definitely wouldn’t ski again. The trip was a last-minute call, he was still in pain and the only way to ski was to shred bottom-less “Japow.” On the first day, we were driving to the resort in the middle of the storm and got into an accident. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the two cars were totally destroyed.
