Felt Soul Media teamed up with Nick Waggoner and Yuki Miyazaki of Sweetgrass Productions in January 2012 to hunt the mythical Hokkaido Unicorn. The creature proved difficult to capture on film, so they just decided to do a little skiing. Really, really deep skiing.

Can always count on Ben Knight and Felt Soul Media to bring the freshest stuff to the ski industry. Thank you Ben for inspiring me to pick up a camera… I (and thousands of others) freakin’ love your work.
