- Last season 12-year-old freeskier Kai Jones continued to tear up on the Tetons, sending bigger tricks, heavier lines, and massive cliffs in Jackson Hole before heading off to Alaska with Tim Durtschi. Comment your favorite part below!

Kai: Think I got it?
Tim: Oh, dude, you got it!
*sends cliff that is five times the size of my house
Send it to Mars!
Emma Patron ha lol
At least he always consults his mentors before trying anything new so they can tell him if its ok to try it or not, and not just trying it on his own!! He's a smart kid!!
@Henry Giles lol, well just remember you only get one shot at life there!! It can all be over with in a instant!! So unless your trained to do that kinda stuff I wouldn't recommend it, especially trying it yourself... As for Kai that's all Kai's family does is film and ski, since Kai's dad is co-owner of TGR!! Kai's highly trained in what he does! I'll tell you Im not trying that kinda stuff, even though id love just to have 1/2 of Kai's energy like that lol!! :-)
You must have a big house then
This kid is awesome. I hope he survives long enough to become an old man.
Why, lige is about gaining experience and if this kid lives and makes the best our of every second of his life he wont need to be old
That's a little dark
Ok boomer
bruh
Life is more about meaning than length.
When I was 12 I was scared of the chair lift...
fatshark65 don’t worry when I was 4 I cried in a crèche in a France for the day each day
I’m 15 and I still am
Yikes
Dont worry this kid walks up thr mountain
Only because some doofus always has to fall getting on or off right when you are over a 120ft drop so they shut it down and there you are, just bouncing away..
*Meanwhile, on the east coast:* Me cracking my ass on an ice patch
I feel your pain! I was lucky enough to go to Jackson Hole last year, that place is incredible, makes my usual east coast "mountain" look like my back yard.
I ski at Mont Sainte Anne and last winter we literally got like 1 day of powder, it's quite annoying when you're doing blacks or double blacks.
Sameeeee heeeeere brooooo I live in freaking new jersy and all we have is icy crud
Ahahaha same here
Liberty and whitetail vibes
This kid is living my dream
I just watched an interview with him. It’s so refreshing to know every other word isn’t “like”, “dude” or “bro” An articulate young man. I hope his parents keep up the good work. 👏🏼
Finally he's not 11 anymore
TGR 2020: "Is this the best 13 year old skier in the World?"
Cody Rayl ya but he is already 13
I didn’t even realise it was possible to be this insane at skiing, so so talented omg
At 12 he's already better than I'll ever be:(
Alex Prohaska it’s funny cause he’s actually 13
@@cymcintosh4417 wow, nevermind then😂
No shit he skies everyday while most of us started when we where 12 and can only ski one week a year. And he has a lot of talent
@@dewisselspeler9080 yea ur right. He has a lot of talent and it'll only grow because his backyard is one of the best ski resorts in the world.
it’s crazy you can tell such a thing just like that. you literally never know what the universe has in store for you. just wait and enjoy the waiting. thats the whole point of life.
Kids mom be like:😱😱😱😱😱😡🤮😱🤯😱
😱
Shred mtb lmfao
Shred mtb ya right
When i was 12 i used to eat the snow
LuberKnight 😂
Especially the yellow spots tasted great
@@kruemelmonster1568 the lemon snow is the best
Still do
Ha! I dabbled with extreme skiing in my late twenties (now 55) and quickly realised my limitations. This is simply off the scale. Kai, I wish you every success and keep your dream alive.
Ive been skiing 4 times as long as this kid and hes 10 times better than me! Epic.
ManCave Man me too.
I two never took the risk of actually trying new things
I think nobody told him yet what dead and disabled means.
ManCave Man this kid probably ski’s every day of the year
@@violetevergardan8188 same, but this kid made wanna try them😂 too bad i wasn't able to ski this year, because of covid maybe the next one
When I was 12 we had to use foam footballs in the playground for health and safety reasons...
Our society is overprotective
Lol
How long has this kid been 12
Less than a year
20 years based on God level experience
jak paul for 364 days
10000000,00000000000000.1 years
Isn’t he like 14
Kai rules... Amazing talent. The rodeos off the cliffs were just epic.
I was learning how to get off a lift at this age
Teach a kid to ski and he will never do drugs
Keith Boone And then there is Tanner Hall
Debatable😂😂
Lol
Tom Warnick died of overdosing heroin
For some, the dopamine high from skiing or extreme sports can cause a void that is not easily replaced. The only way to get a bigger rush physiologically speaking is with drugs
The 91 dislikes are worried moms
Edit: thanks guys, this is the most likes I've ever got
😂😂😂
Yea lol
Or the other 12 year olds
😂😂😂😂
hahaha
I was 13 when I was 12 years old
Same, same
This kid is incredible! Imagine what level he will be at in 8 years.
He’s already max level so
Nice skiing! Relaxed yet alert, supple yet strong. In the flow state all day.😎😎
when that kid gets older he will not have problems with girls
Kasperi Paassilta but when he’s 30 we hope he opted for a great health insurance. His joints will be a mess :-(
I'm a ski racer, I'm 12 and I'm double jointed so my joints are a big mess
charlie quinn u know double jointed is a myth right
_CoLD _CM_ by double jointed its a figure of speach, meaning they can move bones in ways not natural for bones
Kasperi Paassilta fax
What a blessing to be part of the sport and the white mountains at that young age with the right people and family supporting him! Great job Tim, INSPIRATIONAL!
Unreal. The new generation of rippers is out of this world.
✊ Respect. Unbelievable the stuff he is doing out there!
Keep going, Kai ⛷💨 - really looking forward to see how this will evolve further...
I edited this comment because it was embarrassing
My comments go viral he is a good freestyler not slalom or other kind of skiing type skier so you can be better in other tyoe of skiing:)
I am a good double black skier not good a freestyle
I still think i'm really good
Leslie Scheltema yeh me too
My comments go viral i dont ski im snowboarding ;)
He flashes some steep lines in AK. I can remember when CPG started in the 90's! Inspiring my kids!
Such a bad ass, the kid has an awesome attitude. Tim is a great role model as well.
Mind Blown
He has learned from the best.... his Dad 🥰❤
@The End I didn't say he was he's dad... he grew up seeing his dad doing the something..
He is already living his dream. Curious to see him on FWT one day.
Think he ll never do it. Not much money to be made there. Its mich better to just make some nice edits and take part at the bigger freeskimovies by MSP and Teton. Sean pettit did it like that and he was also a prodigy and sponsored since he was 11
The favorite part is the adventures he conquers and the joy he expresses.
Looking forward to follow him the next 10-20-30 years......
That is awesome to watch Thanks for the uplifting experience. Linda Roz
It's been a wild time watching Kai develop!
F...yeah KAI!!!! Way to go brah!!! My jaw is wide open!! Keep it safe. I want to see ya for many years to come! Living vicariously thru you!
Janes Addiction!!!!! Perfect Music
love the janes addiction, nice touch
He is so young and has so much time ahead of him to get even better!! I need a catch up video when he’s like 20 something because at this rate he is going to be one of the best out there...
Wow! Good job (watching from Thailand)
"ive been watching my dads movies ever since i was a little boy." says 12 year old
I could only imagine about having Tim Durtichi as a mentor.
Kai is spoiled, oh and also UNREAL!🤯
Fantastic!!!!
This guy is awesome! This makes me more and more excited for this winter! Hopefully there is actually snow lol. Wish I could be as good
Best 5 minutes spent! You absolutely represent what it means to be fully alive!
A legend at 12 ! Awesome.
What a talent!
i love these kai jones videos
Congratulations to him!
OMG! To be young and fearless again!
What a fearless kid. You got the moves buddy.
What a little legend
Fantastic!
I’ve been skiing more years than he’s been alive and I’m afraid to get off blues
unbelievable!!! what else can I say.
JUST CANT WATCH THE 12 YEAR OLD ENOUGH!!!! FULL RESPECT!!!!! GIVE IT FULL YALDEY BOY 😈
This year: “Is This The Best 13- Year Old Skier In The World?”
whaaaat! Keep on rockin Kai!
Omg, he is sooooooo good. And he is insane strong and brave.
....this kid is crazy good....really unbelievable!!
Amazing. I was a really good skier (downhill, extreme, bumps), but this kid is AMAZING, especially at 12!
Omg that Boy are insane😱😱😱👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just WOW
I saw a video about him when he was 11. Then I come across this. Im watching a bunch of skiing videos cause on march 5th im gonna go on a ski field trip and im excited.
2 years that he is 12 years old i am lost
His was born in May 2006. He turned 13 this summer. This was filmed last winter when he was 12.
bfr_tube ok i got it thanks
Kinda early to get those shots
So good
I wonder if he is damaging the discs in his back with such forceful impacts off of the jumps.
Incredible! Amazing! Fearless! And to think when I was 12 the black diamond trails made me...p..my pants. I'm glad I am not Mom, Dad or Grandma..but old enough I could be.
Now that's crazy
Che invidia ....quanto mi manca questa polvere inebriante!
He is amazing
Outstanding 💯🎁❤️💋
amazing
Awesome !!
That was rad
Good work. Am I jealous I didn't grow up with the same opportunities he had... Of course I am. But I can vividly remember skiing at 12 and remember how hard I sent everything and remember the feeling. The same feeling I see in him when he raises his arms after a stomp. Now in all us older guys defense... I'd love to put him on the skis I was skiing at age 12 and watch how not so steeze he would be. Anyway kids got skills. Hard to stay humble like that but let's hope he does
He's awesome
Legend
Awesome 👏 👍
Oh wow 🤩
Seeing all of these young kids come into all sorts of different sports and take them to the next level is just insane
I started skiing when I was two and now I’m 12 and a pro, I’m proud of what i have come to glad to see others are the same.
Wow I'm just sitting here with my mouth like half open my jaw is dropped and once I get it closed I'll probably be all right I mean between this wonderful young skier and this killer Mountain I mean well amazing
?
Yes
Very nice
just... WOOOW!!!
Wow Kai is a wicked skier ⛷!! dude that’s dope !!!!
Does anyone where he skis ?
Kai when you’re older you should seriously consider the Winter Olympics. You would do your country proud . Well done 👍
Awesome
This kid is a legend
Wow!!!
WoW! WoW! Wow! Wow!
Kai keep flying brother! I can tell you from experience that it will depend on what you do from May to November every year that will determine how long you last brother! Dont forget that and remember to file your flight pan. # madrespect!
I’m watching this and I’m like oh this video has to be close to over. I wasn’t even halfway through it......
He is fabolous👍
Is the best!
oh god I cant wait until he is older....
WOW!!!
This child is pure talent⛷
DAMN!
