My Return to Japan 2024 ( A MINI TRIP RECAP)

This year, a group of 14 of us went to Japan to pay tribute and honor Kyle Smaine on the 1st anniversary of his passing from an avalanche while skiing in the Hakuba Valley. It was a chance to show the majority of the group why Japan is so special when it comes to riding on snow and most importantly why it was one of Kyle's favorite places to go ski.
Unfortunately, I had bigger plans for this recap and it didn't quite happen the way I wanted, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Even though it's not my best work I am stoked to just get something out after such a long time.
➣➣➣ Follow Along & Support ➣➣➣
Founded by Kyle's wife, Jenna, a foundation in Kyle's name was created to help give athletes the chance for support to pursue their dreams within the action sports industry.

Love it Brian!! It was a beautiful trip to pay respects, honor and be with Kyle in our hearts and minds.
I could hear his classic laugh at the end of every pow run!
