Mia Jones, 2026 Freeride World Tour Women's Snowboard Champion, FIS Freeride World Champion, & FWT Rookie of the Year

Understatement: Mia Jones just had herself a season. As a rookie on the 2026 Freeride World Tour, she got to travel the world, ride in AK for the first time, win the FIS Freeride World Championship, become the overall FWT women’s snowboard champion, and be named FWT rookie of the year. Today, she and Jonathan talk about how she managed to pull all of that off while pursuing a degree at Dartmouth, and figuring it all out along the way. Note: We Want to Hear From You!
