Contrary to what you might think from this edit, this video does not take place in the mountains of Hokkaido or anywhere else on the island nation of Japan. It takes place about a six hour drive north of Boston, at the infamous Jay Peak.

Known for its tight chutes and hardwood glades, Jay Peak receives about 400 inches of snow per year. That is about 177 more inches than Squaw Valley last year (sorry Squaw, El Nino is supposed to be crazy, right?) So as the massholes flock to Killington in their Tom Brady jerseys for chalky turns, take the drive a little more North to check out what Jay has to offer.

Actually Jay sucks, don't go there.
