Setting up camp on the top of a rocky outcrop they hunker down and scout lines and spines they dream of riding. The untouched zones span to the horizon and much of it is only reachable by splitboarding. The weather conditions in the Andes are unpredictable and savage at times, but when it breaks the crew strap in and go for the ride of their lives.

“I believe you need a revolution every now and then to shake things up, we have certainly reached that time, an environmental revolution has to happen”

It’s thought that Chile got its name from the Mapuche word ‘chili’ roughly translated to ‘where the land ends’. It’s only fitting when the Jones crew headed down to this South American gem, which is steeped in tradition, that they paid homage to the heritage of the country. Seeing the changes in the land, and hearing first hand from the local population how they’re fighting off the sacrificing of their homeland for financial gain strikes a chord with them. “I believe you need a revolution every now and then to shake things up, we have certainly reached that time, an environmental revolution has to happen.”
