It would be hard to lock down classification on Jonaven. From winning both junior halfpipe and boarder-X events at the 93 Westbeach classic when he was 14, to tagging first descents in Alaska, Jonaven prides himself on being able to ride anything on a snowboard. Jonaven grew up in Banff, AB and was exposed to the backcountry at an early age by mountaineering parents. Balancing his time in big mtn. terrain with competitive freestyle interests Jonaven got his jump on a carreer in professional snowboarding from the early age of 10.

You can bear witness to his achievments in snowboarding from a full Transworld Interview, parts in all 3 original 'Treetop films' movies as well as "Standard films" TB10 and "Absinthe Films" Vivid. Jonaven is know for a riding style which fuses freestyle with big mountain terrain. Currently residing in Squamish, BC, Jonaven balances his time between traveling to snowboard destinations such as Europe, and Alaska filming for the new "Absinthe Film" with riding his home mountains of Whistler and Blackcomb.

In the summer months you are likely to catch him cross-training on a skateboard, surfing, kayaking, or rock-climbing. His love for mountain and water sports fueling his endless search for new adventure.

Jonaven is being featured in Teton Gravity Research's latest film, "Deeper." You can find Jonaven's profile on the Deeper web site along with photos and videos from the project.

Jonaven is also featured in a slideshow by Jeff Patterson in Snowboard Canada Magazine.

Gamma SV Hoody

The Gamma SV Hoody is the one do-it-all jacket for me. I wear it on hikes in the woods, ski tours at the Rogers Pass, surf trips on the coast, and it even doubles as a dinner jacket.

Alpha SL Jacket

The ultimate ultra light jacket to keep me dry in a Squamish downpour. Not too hot to run up the Chief, and still stay dry.

Silo 30 Pack

This pack is near impossible to retire. I couldn't even count the days I use my Arc'teryx bags, and they never fail.

Emissary Zip Neck

Function and fashion in one. So simple.

RHO LTW Base layers

I really do swear by wool. Proven this spring on a 4 week winter camping mission in the Fairweather Range, Alaska. Everything stinks after 4 weeks, but wool stinks less.
