 Jeremy Nobis
Jeremy Nobis in "High Life"  Athlete to Athlete Interview: Bio: In 1998, Powder magazine named Jeremy Nobis one of "The 50 Best Skiers in North America," calling him "one of the most hard-charging skiers out there with enough finesse to make it look good." Jeremy "Primetime" Nobis's resume is thick with impressive stats and awards for his ability to compete and still make it look good under pressure. A quick glance shows Jeremy’s impressive rank as a three-time Junior National Champion, multiple Top-10 World Cup finisher, as well as a two-time member of the U.S. Olympic Ski Team (1993-94), finishing ninth in the Grand Slalom during the ‘94 Olympics in Lillehamer, Norway. After achieving his dream of competing in the Olympics, Jeremy decided to take a break from competitive skiing and fulfill his desire for the fast, vertical and deep: the out-of-bounds, untouched powder of the Extreme Free-Skiing Tour. Jeremy proved his skills as a free-skier at the 1996 World Extreme Skiing Championships in Valdez, Alaska, taking the highest single-run score. Later that year he placed second at the New Zealand Extreme Championships, and, in 1999, he placed third in the fiercely competitive SkierCross at the ESPN Winter X-Games. Jeremy is also a competitive mountain biker. In 1995, while on a skiing sabbatical, he placed first at 24 Hours of Moab, one of the best-known competitive endurance mountain-bike races in the U.S. In 1996, he added to his long list of accomplishments by setting a speed record on the 103-mile White Rim Trail in Utah’s Canyonlands National Park. As a member of The North Face athlete team, Jeremy contributes his unique perspective on technical skiwear to the research, design and development teams. Thrilled to be "living his dream," Jeremy sees himself spending time between Alaska, Utah and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in the years to come, guiding part-time and continuing his work in films – and fishing and golfing when time allows.
