Wacko Wells Gets Sendy in the Japanese Backcountry

The Wells brothers are an impressive collection of shredders. All four brothers are Olympic freestyle skiers, and Jackson AKA "Wacko" is a talented snowboarder as well. While they hail from New Zealand, they've made waves in worldwide ski culture. Jossi's zero-spin run at the Olympics triggered spirited conversation about spin vs. style, and Wacko has a credible claim to having landed the first quad-cork on skis.

While there aren't any spins over 900 in this edit, it's yet another reminder that Japan is the promised land of powder and pillows. Wacko shows off both his one and two-plank skills, a rare thing even in this age of detente between skiers and snowboarders.
