Who doesn’t enjoy that fluffy Japanese powdes is a liar. Tom Ritsch, Øystein Bråten, Hidemitsu Okada, and Paddy Graham teamed up for a freeride adventure and along with The Legs of Steel cooked a love letter to Hokkaido. Sit back, relax, and enjoy 4 minutes of deep powder experience.

From YouTube: A yearly migration of skiers bring fun, laughter and chaos to the island. In stark contrast, this group of powder hounds are in search of tranquility and peace within the sacred forests. This is a love letter to Hokkaido. Presented by @voelklskis

Directed & filmed by Andre Nutini

Featuring Tom Ritsch, Øystein Bråten, Hidemitsu Okada & Paddy Graham

ラブレター (love letter) Hokkaido – the northernmost prefecture A place like no other. Home to a seasonal pilgrimage. It’s in these mountains, That winter bares its soul. Those who journey through this land, Will truly know what it is to be free. And that is the magic of Hokkaido. In this new setting, Like minds immerse themselves in the culture. Making new friends along the way. It’s in the shared experience, All great adventures take shape. Some say that perfection is beyond reach. But maybe they just haven’t been here.
