Travis Rice, One of Snowboardings Most Influential, on his Career and Style

Jackson, Wyoming’s favorite son has come a long way since first strapping on a snowboard and tackling the steep mountain slopes of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

After winning just about every award, medal, contest, and film credit that a snowboarder can over the last few years, and after developing his own signature collection with Quiksilver, Travis Rice’s name has become synonymous with being one of the best of all-time.

Whether it be continually raising the bar with mind blowing first ever tricks, experimenting with new board technology, or producing and starring in mega-budget snowboarding films, Rice settles for nothing short of exceptional.

With film credits including the award-winning That’s It That’s All, The Art of Flight and his latest multi-year project, THE FOURTH PHASE (out on October 3), Travis is not only pushing snowboarding’s limits, but bringing that progression to the masses.
