Overview

Born into the iconic action sports production company Teton Gravity Research, co-founded by his father, filmmaker Todd Jones, Kai Jones became a professional skier at just 12 years old. Kai swiftly rose to the top of freeskiing with viral videos that earned him four consecutive Skier of the Year nominations, beginning at the unheard-of age of 14. In March of 2023, Kai suffered a near-fatal, potentially career-ending injury deep in Wyoming’s remote backcountry. After a remarkable rescue, he faced an uphill battle through multiple surgeries, intense physical rehabilitation and relearning to walk — all while confronting whether he still wanted to pursue a career as a professional skier. This film offers an unfiltered look into Kai’s journey as he re-examines his childhood dreams and goals, and forges a new path for his future.
