THE DAY. HAKUBA, which offers “snowboards made for riding Hakuba’s mountains,” will release its 2026–27 models at 1 p.m. on 11/21 (Sat.), with sales beginning simultaneously in person at Monster Cliff and on the official website. This season’s lineup features six models: Gara2 156cm, R23 148cm, HS3, Gyoshuku Chikei 157cm, Banana or Pineapple 156cm, and Banana or Pineapple Murao. On launch day, Monster Cliff will also be serving a limited supply of 40 servings of complimentary curry. One way to spend the day would be to get in your first turns of the season at Hakuba Goryu on opening day, then head over for some curry while you wait for the boards to go on sale at 1 p.m.!
