Hokkaido is known as the world’s “powder mecca” and receives over 600 inches of snowfall annually. Local riders from Japan have taken their style from surfing the coast and have transferred their skills onto the snow. Around Hokkaido there are great local companies such as Gentemstick and Field Earth that make snowboards and skis designed for the world’s deepest powder.
