Last winter, my brother and I decided to leave the Alps and head out for Japan. I went there with the idea of making an epic movie, but it quickly dawned on me that shooting epic pillow lines and massive powder turns was a bit harder than expected. So we decided to just enjoy the trip instead. The result is a love letter to the joys of snowboarding with friends, exploring new countries and drowning in the amazing Japow. A movie by Loïc Bailliard Riders : Alexis Bailliard - @alexbild.fr...

I'm stoked to finally share the trailer for my Japow movie, coming out this Friday. . Travelling is about challenging expectations and exploring. I went to Japan with ideas and goals that were thrown out the window pretty quickly. This is what this film is about. And snowboarding.

We were keen on trying out the Japanese powder. Therefore we flew to Hokkaido for 2 weeks. Our base camps were settled in Niseko and Asahidake, but when you are in Japan you need to remain flexible and follow the snow clouds. We experienced some resort skiing in Kokusai, Kiroro, Asahidake, Furano and put on the skins to climb Mt Yotei, Chisenanapuri and Mt Asahidake.
