This Crew Did Japan Their Way

Japan is to snowboarding as Indo is to surfing. It’s a rite of passage — one that will change the lives of whoever makes the trip. The Route One Crew spent a total of eight days exploring the riding at Rusutsu and Niseko, including a legendary night riding sesh in the trees. Having honed their skills in the park over the years, they head straight to the deepest pow they could find.

To get their cultural fix, the crew hopped on a bullet train to head south and take in the sights and sounds of Kyoto and Tokyo. This is doing Japan in a different way, and looks like a trip of a lifetime to me.
