Winter 25/26 Staff Gear Picks: Snow Machine Fits
Coming to Hakuba for Snow Machine and don't know what the heck to pack?
Yep, it's a bit of a balancing act. Obviously when it comes to festivals you start thinking of all the button up flannel shirts, lightweight doof pants and whatever else you would normally bring to a multi-day event. A festival at the snow, on the other hand, difficult to find that fine line between warmth and steeze. 
So we caught up Rhythm Hakuba's Jenny. Now in her fourth season in Japan, Jenny is the ultimate opinion on the best steeze to rock this Snow Machine.
