Production is starting on the new Super Proof film, `The Masquerade', but the arrival of Sean Pettit's 55-year-old party animal father, the Groovemeister, is an unexpected wild card to deal with.

Sean Pettit's ankle is feeling better so he, his brother Callum, and father Groovemeister head into British Colombia for the GT Memorial NoBoard Race. He then heads to Japan to go shred some power in Shimamaki.

With the powder in Japan delivering, Sean Pettit and the crew make their way to Niseko for some five-star snow. After a warm welcome, they get to work skiing everything from trees to pillow lines.

The crew heads to the Italian Alps to film in some stunning valleys and powder-filled tree lines. Italy lives up to its reputation with insane alpine terrain plus wine and pasta for every meal.

Back in the USA, Colorado gives Sean Petit and crew a win, as Crested Butte provides them with a shot-filled ski trip. Avalanches run them out of town, so it's off to Utah for a slushy hip session.

Sean Petit, Mark Abma and Richard Permin head to Alaska for some seriously steep and deep skiing. Meanwhile, the Groovemeister hits the road, but his misguided travel info may cost him his sanity.
