JAPAN ACTION OF WARREN SMITH

We got more than we bargained for in Japan this February and we’re now setting up powder camps there

After Warren Smith and Melody Sky went to Japan in February 2008 they were amazed by the quality and volume of the powder snow.  They gained several hundred photos from the trip that are due to be used for front cover's on magazines and double page spreads. They also filmed some High Definition video action to promote the camps and to give to their sponsors Volkl and Oakley.  You can watch a small edit we've put together of Warren skiing some tree's in Niseko and Furano in Windows Media Video and also QuickTime.  Please click on links below to view the footage.
