Okay, Jason, I have set your route to
0:04
the next maze day trips.
0:20
Listen up, day trippers and
0:21
thrillsekers. We're about to set off on
0:24
a day trip, and I'll be your host. On
0:26
this outing, we will navigate the
0:28
mountain roads, taking in the epic views
0:30
from up high before heading into the
0:32
cold, snowy climbs. So, set your climate
0:34
control to toasty and let's roll out.
0:43
These cars we have the pleasure of
0:44
driving today have all been built for
0:46
racing in an era of fierce competition,
0:49
both on the track and in the paddic,
0:51
shaping motorsport for years to come.
0:55
Driving along with us is a car that
0:57
changed the course of automotive
0:58
history. The Lamborghini Mera P400.
1:02
Created as the fastest production car in
1:07
Keep in mind this was the first time
1:09
ever the public had seen a high
1:11
performance production road car with a
1:13
mid-enine rearwheel drive layout. For a
1:16
true sports car, this is now considered
1:18
the blueprint for ultimate performance.
1:22
This route leads to the Sik Sitsu ski
1:24
resort covered as you are about to
1:26
experience inyear round snow.
1:30
Perfect for a snowboarding holiday or
1:33
you just want to go extreme off-road.
1:35
Pack a hot drink and you're good to go.
1:40
Coming up is one of my favorite parts of
1:42
this particular excursion, the Yukino.
1:47
The Tatyama Kurob alpine route carves
1:50
through the thick snow, creating these
1:52
man-made snow corridors.
1:55
Depending on snowfall, these walls can
1:57
reach a height of 20 m in height or 66
2:01
ft if that's how you visualize things.
2:17
up. Sharp right turn onto the snow when
2:19
we come out of the corridor. Stay alert.
2:34
A little spoiler alert for the end of
2:36
our excursion. What goes up, that's
2:39
right, must come down. I'm sure many of
2:43
you have taken to the slopes here, but
2:45
this place is significant. If you
2:47
remember back to Nakamoto and her
2:50
wristband event, well, it was at this
2:52
very resort where she earned it. A part
2:55
of Horizon Japan history, and you are
2:57
very close to where she set off from.
3:00
Did you know that there are monsters in
3:04
That's right. Yeah, no kidding. Snow
3:09
All right. All right. not actual
3:11
monsters, but they look like them. The
3:14
snow here comes down so heavy that the
3:16
trees get a misshapen jacket of fluffy
3:18
snow frozen in place by the cold winds.
3:21
And if you squint, they kind of look
3:50
Well, I hope you enjoyed the serenity of
3:52
a drive up the mountain road to this
3:54
point to what normally functions as a
3:56
ski run, but not today. So, the
3:58
challenge, I want you to head down,
4:00
slit, slide, get air, and look cool
4:03
doing it. I'll be the judge. Good luck.
