11-year-old freeskiing prodigy Kai Jones had a better Spring Break than you. When the snow kept falling last March in Jackson Hole, Kai went on a rampage, tearing up the biggest, baddest terrain at his home mountain. Whether it was conquering classic inbounds lines like Alta Zero, or stomping huge airs in the backcountry like Smart Bastard with his friend Tim Durtschi, Kai took advantage of one of the best weeks of the season.

“It’s a bit exposed,” says Jacob Wester casually as he stares down a knife like edge on the Forbes Arete of the Aiguille de Chardonnet in Chamonix. A bit?

Cowboy: Clayton Vila’s Crested Butte Director’s Cut

For director Clayton Vila, the relationship with Teton Gravity Research has always been a collaborative experience. Unique within action sports filmmaking, Clayton often creates two different cuts from the same TGR segment. One seamlessly aligns with TGR’s snow film, and in his director’s cut, Vila has complete artistic freedom.
