Perhaps not the first place that comes to mind when planning a split trip, Japan would actually make a pretty rad place to go splitboarding. The north island of Hokkaido is famous for ridiculous amounts of snow and is the place to hit for deep tree runs and endless face shots. Hire a van, drive around and tour from the roadside. With a splitboard you can guarantee pretty much every turn will be bottomless. The south Island has higher mountains and bigger lines. It’s the place to head for steep alpine terrain, spines and couloirs.
What is the best outerwear for serious backcountry riding and splitboarding?
Prices are definitely on the rise - but there's still some great options for cheap snowboard boots under £180

European resorts see the first snow of winter 2014/15!
