Jake
Blauvelt
has
not
disappeared,
he
has
been
silently
kicking
ass
off
the
internet,
and
gearing
up
to
blow
your
minds
very
soon.
This
makes
us
very
excited!
Growing
up
in
Vermont,
Jake
Blauvelt
cut
his
teeth
on
the
east
coast
contest
scene,
which
is
the
lowest
common
denominator
to
the
international
ranks
for
any
promising
up-and-comer
from
the
northeast.
However,
the
mountains
came
calling
and
a
few
years
ago,
Jake
had
a
choice
to
make.
Instead
of
strapping
in
atop
a
slopestyle
course,
he
stepped
off
the
trailhead
and
ventured
into
the
solitude
of
the
backcountry,
and
that
is
where
Jake
Blauvelt
found
himself
and
defined
his
career.
Though
he’s
been
faced
with
tough
decisions
throughout
his
tenure
in
snowboarding,
Jake
has
followed
his
instincts
with
conviction
and
it’s
that
ideology
that,
when
coupled
with
his
innate
ability
to
ride
a
snowboard,
makes
Jake
one
of
the
most
popular
and
genuine
professional
snowboarders
in
the
world.
This
is
the
story
of
a
young
east
coast
kid
named
Jake
Blauvelt.
