Jake Hopfinger

Jake grew up on the East Coast, where he began his skiing journey in racing. Later, he moved to Bozeman, Montana for college and switched out his racing gear with wider planks. Since then, Jake has become a well-known freerider with a strong presence in the film industry, appearing in major projects by companies like Teton Gravity Research, Outside TV, and Sweetgrass Productions.

Now, he spends much of his winters at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, hunting powder, big lines and fun features. Wow fact: Jake was the first to land a double backflip into Corbet's Couloir!
