For most kids, spring break is a time to sleep in, veg out in front of the TV and overload on junk food. But for 11-year-old Kai Jones, son of Teton Gravity Research co-founder Todd Jones, this is a week to ski and ski hard. From sending Corbet’s Couloir to crushing the more challenging Central Couloir, Kai is undoubtedly a better skier than most adults.
