Kaettekuru - Backcountry Snowboarding in Japan - Full Movie 

Man, I just started learning last year, 2023 and this film just gives me goosebumps. Powder boarding is something of an experience, makes grown men shriek, filled with unexplained and unbridled joy. Thank you for this beautiful film.

that whumph and escape was freaking terrifying, good call.

I see news every year about foreigners losing their lives in the backcountry due to avalanches and distress in the mountains of Japan in search of JaPow, so This kind of risk and cooperation with local people is very, very important and it was a very good video.

It's crazy that snowboarding has progressed so much that "steep and deep" is not really one category anymore. Different riders prioritize steep and deep separately and it's cool how this movie highlights this, great watch

I love your philosophy at 11:25 I have tried to live by these rules during all of my travels to Japan and elsewhere. Getting spoon-fed glory bluebird pow every day is unrealistic. Putting time and effort in, and pulling the plug when the conditions aren't lining up, is always the right move. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't, but as long as we are smiling (or at least breathing) at the end of the day then it's a victory!

I've learnt so much about my own snowboarding from watching your videos. The main thing I take away is that it's ok to walk away and not ride that line if it doesn't feel right. Don't get suckered into that 'peer-pressure' to just go for it whatever the cost. It's just not worth it. Respect the weather and nature because they're bigger than you are. I'm sure that this new found respect will hopefully keep me riding into my 60th year and beyond. Peace. 🤜🤛

Always a pleasure watching your projects, Antti! Keep it up!

Everything about this is done right. From your approach to the mountains, to understanding the importance of 郷に入っては郷に従え. Turning around when necessary, and more importantly highlighting just how special it is to get the weather for those things to line up in order to ride those lines. Social media would have us all believe that every day is a sunny pow day, but you do a good job of highlighting what makes those alluring lines in the greater Daisetsuzan area so rare to have the trifecta of visibility, stability, and good snow to line up. Having spent most every winter guiding there since 2009, your perspective resonates with me as I have been to some of those lines you show in this video and completely understand how amazing of terrain there is to be had if you're willing to put the effort (which tends to be a lot) in. Good on you Antti, glad others are starting to explore outside the box, and even when it's not the best snow, coming home at the end of the day with a smile and time spent with good people in the mountains is always a much better reward.

I love "The Fifty"... this is quickly becoming my other favorite ski Channel... So good! Glad we got to see some Japan.

It's incredible to see your moments of growth throughout the adventures in your films! It's very inspirational to explore outside of our comfort zones and create relationships with others no matter where we go. I can't wait to see what hidden wonders you find next!

Really loved this video, Antti. Thank you for taking us along the ride to see how your deep love for snowboarding evolves. There's a lesson in here about life for all of us!

My bags were left behind at Helsinki airport. They took 3 days to catch up with me in Hokkaido. Love your films. Thank you Antti.

Thank you so much Antti! That is one of the best snowboard movies I have seen in a long time. I love that you not only show the joy but also the risk and your own development of what you love about the sport. It makes me really wanna go back to Japan where I had the best snowboarding of my life and pushed my own boundaries.

Just beautiful!! So amazing to watch, thank you, Antti!

Antti, I'm heading over in February, you have inspired me even more with your beautiful production thank you. ❤

amazing rider, amazing brand for snowboarding in general. keep it up Antti!

That was beautiful work. Thank you for sharing that experience with us.

this project was an amzing experience to watch

Very deep, not just the snow🙏

Awesome movie……there’s nothing quite like earning your ride and then seeing that powder fly. Keep going my friend we’re watching

Reminds me so much of the great touring near Asahidake and Rusutsu (including all the crazy glide cracks ha) Feb last year! Thanks for showing more Alpine stuff out there for another trip yet to come :)

Japan is beautiful. I hope to go back to ride as my first visit was in the city and historical areas

It doesn't make sense how video can convey so much emotion. Incredible video, I hope you can enjoy trips like this countless times. keep it up friend 🏔🏂💟

I love watching your videos, always entertaining. It's so true, friends and adventure are among the very best things in life, great snow is a bonus.

Another awesome production. Thx!

What a beautiful film… I’ve enjoyed it soooo much!

Amazing, your making the best riding videos out there right now.

That was great! This higher, more alpine are with the volcano looks georgeous - so much potential there! Also something very different for once. Usually when I think of snowboarding / skiing in Japan, one of the first thing that comes to mind is the Japan part of Eero Ettala and Nicolas Müller in Absinthe's "Neverland". Classic tree shred-it...

Amazing stuff antii. “This is why I come to japan!” That part hit me

That was really cool to see the Tokachi-dake alpine. Also great to see the relationships you have established in Japan. I usually ride alone in Japan and for the most part am too scared to venture far off trail with the exception of niseko and similar resort side country. I remember once years ago a Japanese guy suggested that I ride the south face skiers right of the top lift at happo-one. Two days later it ripped to the bottom of the valley. Needless to say I didn’t take his advice. I knew at the time that three of my countrymen had died in an avalanche riding the north face of happo-one. Can’t wait to see your next instalment here in NZ. Thanks for the inspiration.

Jajaja!! My birthday is on Groundhog Day. ❤these videos. My back is too broken to get out & do this, so I appreciate you for sharing your passion with me & the world!🤙

Always amazing content! Thank you...

These are what dreams are made of. Congrats on the video, totally epic!! 🍻

Mahtava video! Kiitos Antti!

This is absolutely beautiful!

Awesome as always!

This was epic! Fascinating to hear some of your thoughts in these heavy backcountry adventures. I just returned (kaette kimashita) from Myoko where they got a massive dump. I can’t wait to see more of your adventures in Japan ❤🙏

Beautiful film- well done!!

Great work Antti, stoked you gut some memorable runs out there in Japan.

Glad I got to be a part of this project. Thank you Antti!

Real cool movie ! Happy to see Antti San in Japan ! Really inspiring. I’ll be in Hokkaido next week, sure I’ll choose the easy mellow powder rather than steep and avalanche 😉🤙 Hope the start will be WITH my bags 😉🙏

Thank you for the great video! A few years ago, I happened to meet Antti in Japan and was able to snowboarding with you for a short time, which is a cherished memory of mine. Please come back to Aizu again. At that time, ONSEN and Ramen will be waiting for you. "KAETTE OIDE"

Hey Antti just scrolled thru youtube and this popped up here in Bali :) we going Switzerland next week and probably Kris his first snow and if possible snowboard experience on the horizon. Great to see you still enjoying it! Cheers best from Bali Philippe

Excellent

Amazing.

There's a reason every great snowboarder in his older years only goes big mountain riding: it is the apogee of riding, the best of the best, the creme de la creme.

Insane beautiful

Hype!

Big fan!!

素晴らしいビデオ👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Yes! The 7-Eleven stores!!! The best! Also, check out soup curry. It's native to Hokkaido. Not in Tokyo!

Awesome lines 🤙

Vallan mukava filmi! Kyllähän se on fiksu laskija, joka ymmärtää vaaran ja kääntyy, kun tilanne ei miellytä.

Hieno video. En tiedä mikä maa se on. Se oli paikallinen lol　Kiitos.（素敵な映像だなー。どこの国だろー。あれ？地元だった 笑）

You make me want to switch back to boarding again

Looks unreal. I am now dreaming of making a vlog here now.

I wached movie and rode with you in mi mind).

Tosi hyvä!

Siiiik!!!!!!!!

One day.... One day.... 🥲

Antti, wow. Keep on keeping. :) can i help choose the soundrack next time? :P

Awesome video! Any chance to get the soundtrack? I want to ride listening to them bits

おかえり❣️

Excellent, perfect snowboarding and skiing video.Wish I were alot younger I'd love to go ride deep powder over in Japan,learn some more Japanese Language and meet a Beautiful Japanese Woman (hopefully she's a Backcountry skiier or snowboarder or both)

great that you share your story :D, where did you learn to make films like that?

отличные линии

Track at 20:55 please? Inspiring video mate. Ride safe brother!
