  • In June of 2018, then 12-year-old Kai Jones went on a mission he will never forget. Teaming up with his father Todd and his uncle Steve, both co-founders of TGR, as well as his mentor Ryan Halverson, the young gun set his sights on a classic big-mountain line: the Skillet Glacier on Mt. Moran. At over nearly 6,000 vertical feet of climbing and skiing, it's one of the biggest single descents in the Tetons, let alone North America.

    I summited Mt. Hood when I was 12 without skis and I can’t even imagine climbing and skiing this line at that age

    Imagine A) Being enabled at 12 to go and do something epic like this; and B) Having Todd Jones (Dad) bring the professional film crew to document it.

    Some kids are dealt a better hand than others. Kai seems to know how lucky he is. Cool video, either way. Some friends and I had a very similar 24 hours many years ago, shwakking away, skiing some sweet corn and then surfing the wake on the way home. I remember the bugs being a lot worse, though. A very uniquely Jackson thing to do. Great times. And bringing Bill into the picture was a nice touch.

    Awesome video. What an experience. When Briggs stepped out of the car I lost it. Love the Steal your face hat Todd. I saw your booth at a D&C show last year. Cool as hell.

    Too young to risk his life for a RUclips video and the proudness of his father
    This is not fair

      Then don't watch because you don't understand. Clearly, you're a flatlander.
