At OYUKI® we’re always searching for ways we can make backcountry adventures simpler and more enjoyable. This is why we created the Haika, a 3-in-1 glove system that offers skiers and snowboarders venturing away from the lifts versatility, protection and comfort.

The 2017/18 season in Niseko was epic, so instead of ignoring our pals on powder days (like the saying goes) we decided to invite them along. Local riders Yohei and Gen Sasaki, Miwa Mutou, Toshiya Kasuga and Aussie Adam ‘Kermi’ Kroenert joined freeskiing legend Pep Fujas to enjoy the most consistent snowfall the area has seen in twenty years. This group of chargers were having so much fun we captured their adventures on camera, creating an edit that showcases OYUKI®’s love for riding the deepest, driest snow in the world. Keep reading to check out the edit, plus the story and photos from behind the scenes...

Beau-James Wells is a unique force. He’s turned himself into a household name by working hard, being smart and making the most of everything that life puts in front of him. He loves the mountains too, especially those surrounding his home town of Wanaka in New Zealand.

EVO x OYUKI

Our friends at evo.com have written this guest post to introduce themselves and explain the connection between Oyuki and evo. It runs deep!

JAPAN. WHERE YOUR CHILDREN CAN LEARN TO LOVE THE SNOW

To a child, a snowy landscape can rival even the most elaborate playground. Snow easily transforms into a luge track of Olympic proportions, an igloo fit for an ice king or queen, or a projectile with enough power to save the entire universe. Keep your mini arctic explorers warm and dry and you can easily turn this inherent love into a full-blown obsession, hopefully one that mirrors or even surpasses your own.

WELCOME TO MOIWA

Away from the bustle of Niseko’s big resorts lies Moiwa, a small ski ground that packs a lot of punch when it comes to world class powder riding.
