Alex Jensen

Founder & Lead Rider

Ever since my first shaky run over a decade ago, I’ve been hooked. I created Snowboard Champ to share what I’ve learned and to build a space where riders can find trustworthy advice to fuel their own passion. My goal is to help you spend less time guessing and more time riding.

The Mountain is Calling.
