The first chapter of Statements video series is finally out and it’s all about powder in land of the rising sun.

The idea of the Onsen Tour was to travel around Hokkaido searching for great spots to snowboard and stay the nights near hot springs–also known as onsens. With help from local legends Shinya Nakagawa and Neil Hartmann we were able to find new untouched terrain right next to the best hot springs in the world!

I’ll tell you, it’ll be hard to find something new next time I’ll be in Hokkaido. After being more than 15 times there, this time it all came down perfect!

Enjoy the video & afterwards I’d love to hear what you thought about it!
