Pat may just be the nicest guy in snowboarding, and now he wants to give you the jacket right off his back. Well, not really…this Foursquare jacket is brand new, but it has the same functional features Pat uses to stay warm and dry while throwing down hammers. All you need to do is tell us the most functional feature of your jacket, and you can win an entirely new one autographed by Pat himself. Send your entries to foursquare@theprogram.com now till the 29th of March and we’ll pick the best answer shortly after.

Over the next six weeks we’ll be giving away two more jackets from Foursquare team riders Peter Line and Andreas Wiig, so stay tuned to foursquare.com for more.

Pete States:

“Broke my thumb this year, so googled ‘broke thumb’, and found a simple step-by-step fix for it: Self-surgery using paperclips and a hammer. Back on the slopes before April.”

Day 1 was all play in the POW while Day 2 proved to be a progressive afternoon in the park. It went down…

Rusutsu Resort, Hokkaido

Voted Hokkaido’s No.1 ski resort, Rusutsu is only 90 minutes away from New Chitose Airport in Sapporo, the major hub for those flying to the North island of Japan. The fabulous scenery from the drive up and the trails of East Mt., West Mt. and Mt. Isola is astounding and the lightest powder snow is waiting for you. With easy access to unlimited backcountry terrain with bottomless POW, you are sure to find your fill here. Another quick note is that this resort, about 1hr from the famous Niseko resorts, is that you won’t find the crowds but instead find the mountain to yourself, no lift lines and no lines in the pow fields in front of you. Enjoy the white room.

Cooper Mountain Colorado

Ski Cooper is located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in an area known for its world class riding.

Cooper is located 110 miles from Denver International Airport along the scenic I-70 and Highway 91.
