Style. Style. Style. Jake is all about style. Whether he's rolling in to the office straight off the plane or in the backcountry sledding, he's always looking good. But looking good isn't all Jake has going for him. On a recent trip to Colorado, Transworld photographer Scott Serfas called me up saying he didn't need to shoot Jake any more all season - "he stomped everything" I believe were Scott's exact words. Jake's going to blow up in the Northern Hemisphere and we're going to do everything in our power to make it happen!
