Last season, Patagonia sent athletes Pep Fujas, Eliel Hindert and Carston Oliver to Japan to shred pow above the peaks of the historic village of Shirakawa-go. The result is this impressive edit, Japan By Van, put together by Sweetgrass Productions. The crew traveled the country by van, and when they reached the village, they found dreamlike conditions. While tree skiing fills up the majority of the episode, the skiers also happen to get up high above treeline, shredding steep lines and spines as well.
