Oh no! RIP wild man. Sad.
Oh no! RIP wild man. Sad.
I can remember seeing him on Hood at Timberline when I was a kid at ski camp in the early 90’s. He was on the national team and he had those red nordica boots that I had never seen before, he was such a ripper. So sad, i can only hope he’s in a better place.

RIP. Those super G turns down big Alaskan faces have been what I’ve modeled my skiing around, it’s why I concentrated on skiing and left surfing behind. It’s why I live in Utah and not Hawaii. Was probably a decade ago that I last saw him. He absolutely crushed me that day on the golf course. So incredibly sad.

Condolences
RIP to a ripping but troubled soul. Alcohol is a helluva drug. Condolences to his family and friends and others close to him.
I'm sorry and saddened to see this -
my Condolences to family and friends...
Please
Rest, in peace, Jeremy Nobis .
Respectfully. tj
Would have been nice to see him turn it around.
Keep yor sails trimmed and the vessel on course.
watch out for snakes
Damn. I can remember that Powder cover and Harvest segment clear as day.
RIP, hope he’s at peace.
I still call it The Jake.
Damn. RIP Nobis. Bummed he couldn’t turn it around somehow.
He says this in the pod cast (same link that fomofo posted on page 1)

RIP
Dang, very sad. Addiction and depression are fierce demons. Didn't he have the White Rim in a day record for a while?
Sawatch is French for scratchy.
We need to prepare your racers for the next step in life. This cycle is happening too often. I don’t have any answers, but certainly am reflecting on what we can do better.
I am much younger than a lot of folks here, but "knew" Nobis through watching him ski in films and on mag covers my whole childhood. Reading the other thread on the front page makes you realize that this was a long saga of alcoholism, burnout and second chances. Vibes to his family and those who knew him.
I met him on the Snowbird Tram in the early 2000's. Had the absolute pleasure of skiing with him several times after that. An incredibly nice guy, truly an icon of our sport. Rest in Peace.
French Fries!
Sorry bout your friend telee. That sucks, damn that kid could rip. Ride in peace Jeremy.

Great pic. RIP.
This is not necessarily a unique story… but after I graduated high school I moved to SLC and washed dishes at the bird in the evening shift. Every morning before skiing and night after work I would pour over Nobis’ groundbreaking TGR segments that were coming out at that time (I just aged myself ahaha). He had a rowdy style combined with his technical background that no one else was really emulating at the time, it seemed. Every chute I straightlined and steep face done in three turns or less those seasons were inspired by him. This guy was a big part of my life even though we never met. Condolences to all friends, family, and athletes he has left behind. RIP Nobis.
I feel like this is common in our community of mountain sports. As gratifying as skiing can be, and as effective it can be in the short term for waylaying personal demons, it is not a complete system of self development. Speaking from (very) hard won and humbling experience.
I'm just glad he didn't kill anyone else. This guy was repeatedly driving around with over a .40 BAC. That's comatose blackout non-functioning drunk. That's driving the wrong way down the interstate drunk. I have no problem with alcoholics. But give up your car and move to the city across the street from the bar.
Seeing his spiral over the past decade always made me wonder what Billy Poole’s death did to him. Watching your friend die in your arms would be tough.
RIP
Poole died in 2008. Nobis's DUIs go back to 1999. Nobis was a shit head driving plastered evading the cops at reckless, dangerous speeds, way, way, before Poole's death.
So sad.
Addiction is a equal opportunity destroyer.
I rode a lift last Friday with a young ski instructor.
He asked me what kind of skis I was riding as he had never seen them before.
I had my old trusty Dynastar Nobis skis on and told him about Jeremy.
Surreal to be seeing this story today.
I will be celebrating his legacy by rocking his skis this spring.
RIP +++++ Rockstar.
