Our pal Noah Regan turned The Nines into an art project.

Famed snow event The Swatch Nines took to Hokkaido’s Niseko Tokyu Grand HIRAFU for its first-ever edition in Asia last week, taking over the legendarily powder-rich resort with some of the world’s best boarders and skiers. The event blurred the lines between sport and spectacle, transforming the mountain into a playground of creativity, progression and some insane moments.

Noah Regan was there on a mission to make the athletes look even better — and he absolutely delivered. Some of the snaps he captured look like they belong in a gallery, inducing that classic I-wish-I-was-in-Japan-right-now feeling — you know the one. Check them out above.
