3ft DREAM Powder Day | Snowboarding in Japan

[@whitefeverau]

Unusual for Japan... Usually it's icey and rubbish. Ski on bamboo and endless crowds. Terrible place! shhhh

[@leisingmcane]

Powder days are rare and a blessing from the Snow Gods. I've only had two Powder days on a sled. I bet this video doesn't do it justice.

[@chuck__van]

Word

[@maheenm]

yep, the worst ever......

[@bruhsweet3154]

TJ- "Thanks for taking a few minutes out of your day to hang out with us in Japan" Me after binging all the content from SPC, Board Archive, David Jones, Bo, Chris and Andres from the past two weeks- "Yeah.... a few minutes..."

[@BoardArchive]

Thanks for watching the videos homie

[@markjaik]

Yeah haha

[@brandonblair6868]

8:05 - Veteran move. Ask your buddy if he wants to drop first. You'll seem like a nice guy but really your just letting him break trail so you can get the speed.

[@teideliteid]

Yeah, I thought the same XD

[@BoardArchive]

hahaha true, but I was being genuine in this case we already had a way out

[@SidiNic]

True true, made that mistake last year 😅

[@wesleyboyd2714]

I’d never be able to get up! I have short tyrannosaurus arms! When your board gets above your bum, its very tough!

[@GamersForGamers1]

When all your fav snowboarding KZbinr's meet up and show each other some love! This powder and hype making me wanna get back on the mountain with my friends asap!

[@ellstackeradventures]

:) so epic

[@maheenm]

I was in Japan in 2020 with the kids, got a powder day and they loved it! Thanks for posting TJ! New Zealand is usually groomed trails, over crowded, short runs. Japan is where it is at.

[@qwertygerty]

clearly a veteran vlogger with the reflexive wipe!! thanks for the share dude, what a day, looks epic!

[@brodieforgan4043]

For this entire video I had a smile on my face! Boarding is my passion and this just makes me so happy to watch I wish I could have experienced this !

[@chuck__van]

You hadn't even met BD yet and you were already Overstoked!!! 🤣🤣🤣 What an amazing day it was.

You'll get there, I didn't get good a riding trees until after a couple of seasons in Colorado

Board Archive I only go about once a year and maybe twice so it’s gonna be a long road! Just waiting for the day where I figure it and can spend more time riding then getting up lool

[@andresfranco2496]

I spent the whole season in Niseko and this day was by far the best of the season

[@Gregor-em3ws]

TJ how do you like the redesigned 2021 Union Atlas you riding already? 😜 Pros/Cons vs Strata? Or is it still a secret? 😄 Enjoy the white gold! 👍🏼

[@BlueVosq]

What a blessing! I enjoy the content TJ

That seems like the best day ever! Best vid of this season for me for sure! (I think I've already left a comment like this on another video of yours like a month ago but it just keeps getting better and better!)

[@BoardArchive]

Thank you Emilian! Means a lot cause I know you watch most of the crews vids. I think this was my favorite day so far as well

Epic, epic day TJ man. Conditions look all, all time. Pow looks almost too deep ha. 🤙🏼. Nice call and technique with the leap frog too, I’ll have to keep that in mind.

[@danieleszterle758]

How do you know in which way you can ride down?

[@rancidhotmail]

hey TJ can you give a estimate figure of what a japow trip costs? one day i want to feel waist deep too...

[@BoardArchive]

flight + accommodation was around 2,500 and you can get passes for free here if you have the Ikon pass

[@hamburgerquieddje3898]

2,5k? Wow, that would be my one way flight to japan only 😢

[@SidiNic]

For 2K you can get a guided 8 day trip from Eu

I brought the Party Wave

[@alexmiranda7852]

Getting footage on a powder day like this is actually really hard.. every turn can make your helmet cam go blind lol. Amazing wiping skills

[@caspiankai5070]

SO DEEEP! Thanks for making sick videos, keep at it! Inspiring... Question - I really wanna get a Mind Expander.. I'm 6'2" but only 150lbs so I was lookin' at the 154. Is he a big guy to be riding the 158? I can see the extra length being handy for WAIST deep pow but how often is that gonna happen haha. Also love the look of the Bataleon Surfer for JAPOW!

[@BoardArchive]

I'm around the same weight and loved the 158, but you're right for normal powder days the 154 would be fine and definitely more maneuverable

[@caspiankai5070]

@@BoardArchive awesome thanks! ...more kinds/sizes of boards for more options i guess haha
