A place that can be called a sacred place.
Born in Jackson in 1982, Travis Rice slipped down the mountain when he started snowboarding at the age of 11, and a few years later rumors spread throughout the United States that "there are awesome kids" among the locals, at the age of 15.

Travis has always succeeded in difficult things, both in the contest scene and in the current backcountry scene.The superhuman part of Travis is clearly visible to us, but it is undoubtedly a feat after considerable effort.Especially in the backcountry scene, the conditions vary from world to place, on the spot and on the day.Adapting to the ever-changing natural environment requires an unusual level of concentration.A careful calculation and preparation process is essential for riding on complex backcountry terrain and difficult snow surfaces.
