The Tenjin Banked Slalom 2015

The Tenjin Banked Slalom that took place at legendary heavy snowfall mountain Mt.Tanigawa near Tokyo, Japan follows the same pattern of no less legendary Mt.Baker's Banked Slalom that's been held in North America annually since 1985. As snowboard competitions get more and more attention, perhaps due to its Olympic appearance, the banked slaloms aren't cuts from the same cloth. Instead, they continue to hand over the essence of snowboarding to future generations to come. Run by ex-Pro rider and 'TJ' brand director Yosuke Nishida, the Tenjin Banked Slalom is one of them.
