This Is What It's Like to Snowboard the Deepest Powder in Japan
Doing it “Hokkaido” style.
There are different ways to approach snowboarding — you can be the type who likes to take on rails at the park, spend hours at the halfpipe, get big air off jumps, or just flat out ride on deep snow. In this video by Outside, snowboarders Forrest Shearer, Karl Martin, Griffin Siebert, Alex Yoder, and Nick Russell travelled to Hokkaido, Japan to enjoy some of the country’s best powder. What they also discover and portray in the visual is their love for the sport, the soul and poetry that goes with the experience, and just straight up having fun.
