- As with any young athlete, there comes a time when you outgrow your local stomping grounds and seek bigger and badder objectives. For 15-year-old Kai Jones, that time started to come a few years ago, but it wasn’t until this past season that he truly got bit by the bug for exploration and opening up new places to ride.
Where did it land him? With three insane segments in Magic Hour, and a nomination for IF3 Standout Male Rider of the Year. This year, the young Atomic, JHMR, TGR Optics, and Mammut Safety Collective athlete out of Jackson Hole sent it deep for Magic Hour, joining the crew in his home range before heading up to British Columbia and finally Alaska to finish out the season with a bang. Yet again, his skiing stands out among the crowd, especially when you realize the kid's barely got his learner's permit.
Catch Magic Hour on tour now, with tour information and tickets available at tour.tetongravity.com.
This kid is unreal! The progression over the past few years is just amazing. Such a great role model for young skiers. Way to go, Kai!
Roll model? Pffft! The higher you put your hero's the farther they end up falling. Always remember the good die young. This kid is writing checks his ass wont be able to cash someday. The kid has been stupid lucky so far. Wait and see my words come true.
He is kind of a dick like his dad see him a lot at Teton village and have never seen him happy or being cool to any fans
@thy y
You should meet him in real life. 💀
@Andrew Nah It's mostly skill. Thats why not everybody who lives near a mountain is a pro skier.
It used to be "wow Kai is really impressive for a 1x year old" Now it's just nuts. Some of the best lines of the year.
How on earth does this kid keep on getting even better? Those lines are insane, so fired up for ski season
Can’t believe Kai still gets this much better and better every year! Absolutely nuts 😮
Looking forward to what the next 5 years holds for him.
Use your powers for good kiddo. Such great flow.
These past two years for this kid have been insane!! He’s going big!
So sick Kai, way to crush it in Alaska!
Been watching Kai videos since he was 11 years old. His progress is absolutely amazing.
Super talented. He just took it up a notch. Awesome part
This young man is so strong and fearless and athletically skilled. Amazing lines.
God he just keeps getting better and better every year.
I love skiing. Kai just crushes this like its nothing! Way to go Kai!!!
The lines he picked on some of the cliffs and pillows were masterful. To envision them and pull them off to the tee was brilliant to watch!
There is extreme skiing, then there is Kai Jones skiing 👍
I'm not surprised by the ski progression of this kid, his family and all his social circles are tight with the best freeskier, connection, his Dad is main guyat the ski filming industry.......
I really enjoy watching him ski! He makes it look so easy!! His wonderful he has supportive parents.
Can’t be overstated to give massive credit to his parents!
Kai will be unbeatable in en few years time. The way he’s progressing every year is just insane. Just imagine how good he will be in 5 years time, it’s unreal.
Kai you the man keep grinding the growth I’ve seen is unreal so much fun to watch you ski
Kai throwing that Lincoln Loop made my week.
wow wow wow always been an amazing skier but he's right he really brought a lot of aspects together and this riding was some absolute top level riding!
if this is not a W the game is riggged. If anyone dosn't understand what they have expiernced in this brief 5 min. Its history being rewritten, this is a 16 year old sending some of the gnarliest shit anyone has ever ridden. Mad props from a ski bum
Insane talent, what a monster
My jaw is stuck in the dropped position. You go Kai!!!
I would say this was his coming of age part but i think he has been doing that the last like 5 years now. Can't even imagine where Kai will take the sport to. #thekidsarealright
Way to go Kai! You’re crushing it
Tim Durtschi is building a really good successor to him, can't even think what Kai will be capableof, when he is going to be 20years old.
The confidence in which Kai stomped those lines is something special.
That level and he's still so young. Legend in the making 🤙
To be that good at only 15 years old is special. Hope he stays smart, humble and healthy. Hah, that's the dad in me.. I HOPE HE MAKES GOOD CHOICES. 👍
Oh I think I remember seeing a video of this kid years ago. He is absurdly good 😂
There are skiers and there are Goats, reminds me of Candide Thovex, this kid is next level!
He is the gods tier version of that kid at every local ski hill that goes flying by you down all the double blacks
damn this kid is something else. the slow backflip down the couloir was insane
Ive only ever skied once in my life. That was earlier this year, this video made me sooo stoked to go skiing again in Hemsedal next February.
I really found a love for skiing last time, and my only regret is i didnt start sooner!
Yeah. I’ve said it before … “I want to be Kai Jones when I never grow up.” … Love the ad hoc backy at the end. Well done young man. Get some.
His progression this year is nuts.
Favourite pow skier!
I‘ve wait so long for an new video from Kai 👍🏼👏🏻
Kai is my role models and I have been watching him for years
I'm speechless... Have a good life Kai.
True inspiration , cant wait to start my own journey with the powder 🥳
Brooooooo! Sick lines, smooth tricks and SPEED! Jérémie Heitz better starts looking over his left shoulder because here's KJ!
as a boarder this guy is my idol
This is absolutely crazy. At this point Kai is just one of the best skiiers period. Crazy to watch his growth. He's now launching massive backflips (2:29) off of the cliff he said was the biggest he ever hit 4 years ago.
Kids been better than most of us since age 9 lol So dope.
Quite outstanding...blue bird...nice tracks....baby...!!
Unreal kid! Got to love those Bent's!!
Holy crap! He is unreal! Just charging!
Congrats Kai
Dudes way better now !! Wow !!
Legendary
Imagine being a teenager and doing something so epic, that other people are willing to pay you to do it, and utilize all kinds of insane technology to get you into these places and film you doing epic shit, because everyone needs to see how epic that is.
It's wild
His father makes ski movies. A major player. They live on the mountain at Jackson Hole.
He was born for this...
Dude... You're not allowed to do this at 15. Also THOSE LINES man wow kid just has immaculate taste!
FWT wanted !!! Electron Kai, we all are waiting for your reign
Young Candide!!! WOW
Turn the volume off and this is a great video.
This is bonkers.
Keep it killing it man!
Great vibes!!
Silver spoon award
Not just good for a young kid, straight up good.
That kid is insane!
Just unreal, keep it up Kai!
Absolute G

Это новая звезда во фрирайде , новый Таннер Холл ,Новый Король 👑 👍🏻🙌🏻❤
He reminds me of young Cody
Good Luck Kai!! Stay away from girls, drugs and avalanches not necessarily in that order…🤙🏽
Who won?
What song is this?
Song name
Pass eifach uf d‘lawine uf!
And this man just has 15 years old wtf :o
You can tell it's liberating to be skiing - to I really think it's a an infringement on my personal rights when this "possibility" is taken away because of alleged accusations of not doing too much or what have you... I really think it's an infringement on my rights... and it's not something I'm gonna passively ignore, because some people think they "did more" than me and equated me with the wrong people. For instance I might be compared to a drug-dealer or a child in Ghana (what they have and what they have don't - that's sick) and that's not to be equated justifiably... Then I should live for less than a dollar a day - or you get me. It's a science to compare
This kid is going to be next Sammy Carlson
Du ski fahre gut
If you feel its too tight, it because it needs more anti-matter. It is with distancing yourself from this and that. I think I like it... (the too close too nit, naa)
Wait till he get strong....
2:30 was fucking massive
This is so cool but honestly rip to his hips and knees
