Mountaineers Books
Award-winning snowboarder Jeremy Jones takes his experiences and knowledge of the mountains to paper in his new book, The Art of Shralpinism: Lessons From The Mountains.
The Art of Shralpinism is a compendium of lessons hard won: quick tips, sound advice, and impactful stories. Learn 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.
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.
Hear from Jones directly at our upcoming event at the Seattle Program Center where he will be discussing his new book and the life-changing power of time in the mountains. Mark your calendars and join us on Thursday, November 10th from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm.
