Blister Speaker Series: Jeremy Jones

One of the greatest big-mountain snowboarders of all time came to Western Colorado University for another installment of our Blister Speaker Series. But Jeremy isn’t simply one of the best to ever ride a board; by founding Protect Our Winters, Jeremy has had a massive impact on the broader snowsports world, and is working to address one of the biggest issues of our time: climate change.
