History was made today on the the snow-stacked terrain of Japan’s premier ski destination, Hakuba, Japan, situated in the Japanese Alps. Fifty-six riders representing the international freeride community descended on the renowned ski town to open a new chapter in the book of freeride as competitors faced off during a 2 stars qualifier and a 4 stars main event.
The hallmark event presented a shining opportunity for the most talented skiers and snowboarders of the international qualifying tour to take advantage of the venue’s abundant snowfall and fantastical freeride terrain.
