Jeremy Jones Snowboarding

There are a number of words to describe Jeremy Jones: environmentalist, big mountain freerider, film star, husband, father and now entrepreneur and board designer. As the preeminent big-mountain freerider of today, visions of Jones about to drop from the peak of a knife ridgeline are ingrained in the minds of every snowboard film fan. Legend status is locked down for the 34-year-old as the eight-time Snowboarder Magazine “Big Mountain Rider of the Year,” winner of numerous big mountain and extreme contests, over two dozen awe inspiring video parts in the library including five in 2008 alone. For the Squaw Valley-local’s new film project, Deeper, he’s traveling the globe from interior Alaska to Antarctica in search of new lines reached on his own steam.
