Between Days

«Storm Riding in Japan: Powder, Philosophy & Connection»

Alexander Douglas Craig · 16 min · Japan

Between Days follows the Arc'teryx snow team in the Japanese Alps during a season-defining storm cycle. Nine riders from four countries, united by a shared language of storm riding. What happens when nine snowboarders from four countries arrive in Japan’s Alps in the middle of a season defining storm cycle? The universal language of “dig yourself out, ride until your legs give in, then do it all again” dissolves all barriers — forging a quiet bond through the raw experience of storm riding. Guided by snowboarding legend Tadashi Fuse, the crew dives into hip-deep powder turns and Japanese philosophical reflections found in the highs and lows of the mountains. This is a snowboard film like no other — familiar yet entirely new. With a stellar athlete line-up, shot in stunning black-and-white on 16mm, featuring Sherpas Cinema–certified cameramen, and produced by Robyn van Gyn and legend Shin Campus, it’s blessed with some of the most unreal powder imaginable.
