Legendary snowboarder Jeremy Jones shares his philosophy on pursuing big mountain adventures whilst treading lightly on the planet. This isn't just another extreme sports memoir—it's a thoughtful exploration of what it means to chase powder in an age of climate crisis.

Jones weaves together tales from his groundbreaking descents with practical wisdom about sustainable adventure travel, environmental activism, and finding balance between ambition and responsibility. From pioneering first descents in remote ranges to advocating for wilderness protection, he demonstrates how athletes can become powerful voices for conservation. His approach—dubbed "shralpinism"—combines the thrill of riding steep lines with a deep commitment to preserving the wild places that make such experiences possible.

Essential reading for anyone who loves the mountains and wants to ensure they remain wild for future generations.
