When the title of the video you're about to watch is simply titled "The Deepest Powder We've Ever ridden," it's fair to assume it's going to be a good one. Then, when a snowboarder spins a backside 360 off a tree caked in snow in the first 20 seconds of the edit, it's confirmed. The next few minutes of viewing are bound to get you hyped to go ride some powder yourself.

Last winter, Sebby K, Cooper Branham, Mela Stalker and Taylor Gold traveled to the north island of Japan to snowboard its world-renowned powder. There, they scored. The amazing conditions allowed for plenty of fun opportunities for this freestyle oriented crew to stunt on a number of trees, pillows and other natural features.

A word from the creators about the video:
Inspired by the new Bio Series, our video crew set out to explore the raw beauty of Japan's north island, blending big airs and bottomless turns amidst its abundant natural terrain. The result is Hokkaido, a love letter to our favorite playground, and a tribute to the place that exists between nature's design and a rider's perception.
Starring: Taylor Gold, Mela Stalker, Cooper Branham and Sebby K.
