Extreme Expeditions
From snowboarding to caving, rock climbing to ice climbing, these six films from the Banff Mountain Film Festival highlight unique, adrenaline-charged expeditions by extreme explorers.
Meet the Filmmakers and Athletes from Extreme Expeditions
Jeremy Jones, Athlete
There are a number of words to describe Jeremy Jones: environmentalist, big mountain free rider, film star, husband, father and now entrepreneur and board designer. As the preeminent big-mountain free rider of today, visions of Jones about to drop from the peak of a knife ridgeline are ingrained in the minds of every snowboard film fan. Legend status is locked down for the 34-year-old as the eight-time Snowboarder Magazine “Big Mountain Rider of the Year,” winner of numerous big mountain and extreme contests, over two dozen awe inspiring video parts in the library including five in 2008 alone.For the Squaw Valley-local’s new film project, Deeper, he’s traveling the globe from interior Alaska to Antarctica in search of new lines reached on his own steam. Both major ventures, Jones Snowboards and Deeper, relate in their principles back to Protect Our Winters, the non-profit Jones founded in 2007 dedicated to reversing the global warming crisis by uniting the winter sports community and focusing our collective efforts towards a common goal.
The Film: Deeper
Deeper tracks professional snowboarder Jeremy Jones and other top free riders as they travel to some of the best and most dangerous locations to snowboard.
