Jeremy Jones’ Road from Snowboarding Pioneer to Climate Champion

April 13, 2020

Jeremy Jones didn't set out to start a movement or change an industry. But he did, reimagining snowboarding and forever shaping how big mountains are ridden. He could have stopped there. Instead, he started a climate movement with Protect our Winters, created Jones Snowboards to push snowboarding innovation, and along the way starred in 50+ movies.

It all seems so big and so unreachable. A kid who hitched rides to Jackson Hole receiving a Champion of Change Award from President Obama. But as Jeremy shares, it all starts by taking one step, sleeping in one friend’s closet, following one passion and focusing on it with unwavering intensity. And doing it with curiosity, respect and admiration for your surroundings and the people who came before you.

This is Jeremy Jones and here's his story. "It's one step at a time. We need to just start."
