"It used to look like a big wall of mountain, now it looks familiar. Like my mountain." So concludes Yuta Watanabe's compelling account of splitboarding in the Canadian Rockies during a white out.

“It used to look like a big wall of mountain, now it looks familiar. Like my mountain.”

So concludes the account of Yuta Watanabe’s sketchy, white-out couloir charge on Mt. Joffre in the Canadian Rockies. With a narrative that follows Watanabe from his days of snowmobiling to his eventual love of splitboarding and all that it provides-knowledge of the snow and environment, a workout and a connection to the mountain-this POC-sponsored video combines the beauty of the mountains, a single, splitboarded run and all the things that could go wrong along the way.
