"If anyone missed the memo: last winter in Hokkaido was the place to be. Japan's northern island got absolutely hammered with snow, so naturally ROME's resident crew of powder fiends made the pilgrimage and filmed their exploits for the rest of us mere mortals to enjoy. Bundled into the van, noses pressed to frosty windows as they scoped unridden lines, the ROME crew managed to pull this whole video together completely under the radar."
"No resorts, no fanfare-just van to pow to van, on repeat. Featuring Ståle Sandbech, Rene Rinnekangas, Keegan Hosefros, Martin Lässer, and hometown heroes Yuri Okubo and Kaishi Obata. This is seven minutes of stylish snowboarding in some of the best conditions known to humankind. Hit play below and enjoy. Filmed and edited by Devin Bernard. Photo: Yuri Okubo by Max Lyons"
Last winter Hokkaido received extremely heavy snowfall, creating prime powder conditions. The ROME crew conducted a covert expedition across the island, focusing on unridden lines accessed by van travel rather than resorts. The operation avoided fanfare and was executed under the radar with repeated van-to-powder-to-van runs. Riders included Ståle Sandbech, Rene Rinnekangas, Keegan Hosefros, Martin Lässer, Yuri Okubo, and Kaishi Obata. The footage amounts to seven minutes of stylish snowboarding captured amid exceptional snow. Filming and editing were handled by Devin Bernard, with a photo credit to Max Lyons for Yuri Okubo.
