Momentum Japan: Hakuba 2025


We are stoked to be heading back to the land of rising POW !

Hakuba, Japan – Wikipedia:  Hakuba receives approximately 11 meters of snowfall annually, with most snowfall occurring in the months of January and February.

Our Mission: Serious POW Skiing when it dumps and serious MOGUL skiing if it doesn’t.  No matter what the snow does we have you covered.

Coaches: We have assembled an incredible coaching team this year, including 2x Olympians John Smart and Ryan Johnson, ski legend and guru Mike Douglas, and top Freestyle/CSIA Coach Ken Rhodes. We also employ an expert local pow sniffing guide to make sure we don’t miss out on anything ULLR has to offer in this very diverse valley. There are 11 resorts to choose from in the Hakuba Valley and we follow our guide to find the best conditions each day.
