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. [Jones] shares his accumulated wisdom in the new book The Art of Shralpinism: Lessons from the Mountains... “Shralpinism” is a portmanteau of “shredding” and “alpinism,” two pursuits Jones has combined with aplomb. -- Gregory Scruggs ― The Seattle Times Part memoir, part skills guide, part almost motivational, self-help guide, The Art of Shralpinism provides a window into Jones’ evolution as an individual and an athlete. It gives readers the opportunity to learn from his lessons, lifestyle and wisdom. -- Tom Hallberg ― Backcountry Magazine In ‘The Art of Shralpanism: Lessons from the Mountains,’ legendary snowboarder Jeremy Jones has created an elegant fusion of memoir, manifesto and mentorship that is required reading for backcountry snow enthusiasts, but should also be given to every high school graduate. -- Meg Olson ― Mount Baker Experience Equal parts autobiography, epic tale, and guidebook to snowboarding, outdoor adventuring, and survival―a beautifully conceived scrapbook from a masterful athlete, and a love letter to mother nature. -- Jacqui Davis ― SnowBrains The Art of Shralpinism serves as a manual for those who learn by experience rather than a classroom. Truly, in essence we must all learn mountain sense in this way.... This is where the book shines. Jones helps elevate the base level of mountain awareness to a point where others after him can learn from the mistakes he and his contemporaries made along their journey, and hopefully empower the next generation of Shralpinists to go further down the road that they have paved. -- Steve Andrews ― The Inertia Drawn from decades of journal entries and years of experience, the book is full of stories and tangible tips about how to live and travel well in the backcountry, which we could all use as we think about our personal futures on snow. -- Heather Hansman ― Outside Think of the book as part memoir, part manual for best practices in the mountains, part art book, and an ode to finding joy by making turns. Page after page, Jones exudes the glass-half-full ethos. ― Totally Deep A tasteful and creative how-to book for splitboarders all premised on the lessons the author has learned over the years. ― WildSnow Of special appeal to readers with an interest in snowboarding, mountain climbing, and outdoors exploration, "The Art of Shralpinism: Lessons from the Mountains" is also nicely illustrated by author Jeremy Jones and should be considered a 'must read' for his legions of snowboarding fans. ― Midwest Book Review The Art of Shralpinism is like a handbook for mountain aspirants; there are many nuggets, some literal, some more mystical. Jones also peppers the book with not infrequent comments and advice from a who’s who of the mountain scene. -- Jason Albert ― WildSnow While I think it’s fair to assume that Jeremy’s intention was, first and foremost, to lay out more of an ethic or a way of life in this book than to (first and foremost) create some great work of literature that happens to have riding at the center of the story … there are numerous descriptions and passages in The Art of Shralpinism that hold up to the descriptions and passages of the writing of
