Physical Description: 284 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Subjects: Skiing; Ski mountaineering; Avalanches; Safety; Backcountry; Health; Guidebook

Abstract: Not a technical guide on snowboarding but, rather, a very personal approach to how to think about mountains, snow, and adventure, The Art of Shralpinism reflects the remarkable journey of snowboarding superstar Jeremy Jones. Drawing on the hundreds of journals he has kept over the years, Jones offers intriguing snapshots of time and place that include his own on-the-slope stories and white-out moments, as well as those of other prominent adventurers such as Jimmy Chin, Zahan Billimoria, and Christina Lusti. Shralpinism is a compendium of lessons hard won: quick tips, sound advice, and impactful stories. Learn which aspects of avalanche training are most crucial to absorb, ways to anticipate slope behavior or recognize clean lines, how to cut a cornice or develop safety protocols, how to build a fitness routine, the art of the turn, and keys to developing terrain and skills progression. Jones discusses the importance of mentors, the necessity and intensity of practice, the nature of risk, and the shape of failure. But at its heart, The Art of Shralpinism revels in the power of experience, the impact of stoke, and the beauty that underscores all outdoor adventure. -- From Publisher

Contents: Building a foundation -- The resort and progression -- Mistakes, goals, mentors, and partners -- Risk -- Mountains -- Avalanche safety -- Health and fitness -- Gear and backcountry travel -- Life of glide -- Alaska and the birth of TGR -- Raising shredders -- The mountains are changing.
