Japow - A brothers' snowboarding trip

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.
