12-Year Old Skier Kai Jones: We’ve been impressed with young skier Kai Jones in the past as he has displayed a skill level and experience that goes well beyond his 12 years. But in this video he pushes the limits even further, attempting to ski the 6000 vertical feet on Mt. Moran in Grand Teton National Park, a feat that is epic in both size and scope. The route will take him down a classic line along the Skillet Glacier, which offers one of the biggest and best descents in the Tetons. Not bad for a skier who is still in Junior High, huh?
