We’re all chomping at the bit to get on snow, and the KORUA crew just dropped a DEEP edit from a trip last year to Japan. Filmed by Matt Foley, the crew explores the Hokkaido area, grabs some chairs, visits a few roadside attractions, hikes a volcano, and just plain gets after it…all accompanied by the locals!

The following imagery, both stills and video frame grabs, are all by photographer/filmmaker Matt Foley.

Dart and spears.

This image of Nicolas Wolken pretty much sums it up.

Our Japanese is a bit rusty, but there’s no better way to describe Japan’s stick-to-everything snow than “Mochi Yuki”.
