The Team

  • Fabien Fanton riding deep powder in Hokkaido

    Fab

    Started snowboarding in 1987 after skiing since learning how to walk. Worked in the snow industry in France and Australia.

    Since 2007 focused on Central and Northern Hokkaido little and less know resorts.

    Rides Yes 420 , Nitro fintwin 149, Gnu Kyarve 157, Yes 420 PH 154.

    Favorite resorts: it all depends on the day, some resorts are steeper than other so the temp and the snow accumulation create different condition everyday, what is great with smaller resorts is the lack of competition for fresh lines. We can take our time and enjoy the moment.
