Hello fellow riders!

We at PowMAG are getting ready for the 17/18 season… A good winter for some (use snow junkies) a bad one for (normal people). Well hustle with the huge amount of snow around the block roads slippery side walks you name it! The typical nagging conversations, but for us is a time of opportunity, planning trips and dream journeys!

So to open up your appetite hers a few cool things for this season.

  1. Hardware

BURTON FAMILY TREE SKELETON KEY SNOWBOARD 2018

This affordable jet plane will make you do wonders in deep pow.

A directional utility tool designed to unlock the full spectrum of freeride terrain.

An offspring of a one-night stand between the Con Artist and Flight Attendant, the Burton Skeleton Key has quickly become a staple in the quivers of our testers and team riders. From Japan-deep pow to Mount Baker’s legendary banks, this uniquely hard-charging directional shape fuses camber with a slightly increased waist width that carves like a knife.

  2. Goodies

GoPro Hero 6 Black

The GoPro Hero 6 Black gets a major update with 4K 60fps and super-slow-motion Full HD 240fps video. Those, along with improvements to image quality, faster transfer speeds and smaller file sizes make this the new best action camera.

Super-slow-motion 240fps video

Improved image stabilization

Much better Wi-Fi transfer speeds

    3. Trip Location

For this year we have chosen Japan for the third time in a row, according to our previous experiences this is still no doubt about it the best spot in the world for freeride.

    Japan’s northernmost island of Hokkaido may not be on the average snow enthusiast’s radar as a top destination, but is known by insiders as a powder haven with an unforgettable experience. Japanese Olympic snowboarder and good friend, Soko Yamaoko, calls Hokkaido the a best place in the world to ride powder because fresh snow falls constantly, creating amazing powder pillows and unique snow features, which turn the mountain into a true snowboard playground. The most well-known resort on the island is Niseko United, where 4 resorts allow guests to access all of their terrains on one lift pass.

That’s it folks, start planning you winter season of 17/18 because we’re ready to lift off…What about you? Share your experiences with us!!! We’ll select the best story to publish it together with our article on PowMAG.

GOOD RIDES TO EVERYONE!
