T.J. Schiller - Ski
 | T.J. Schiller waltzed onto the freeskiing contest circuit a few days after he graduated from high school in 2004 only to win the U.S. Freeskiing Open slopestyle. The following season he won every major contest he entered, including the U.S. Open big air, the Gravity Games slopestyle, and the World Skiing Invitational slopestyle. T.J. has dominated big air contests worldwide ever since, only taking a break late this season to recover from a knee injury.
But contest results are only part of his story. The Canadian has a repertoire of tricks that is virtually unmatched. T.J. continues to push the envelope by landing switch 1440s in major competitions and in front of film producers like Poorboyz. Best known for his amplitude and finesse, T.J. seems to have overflowing reserves of natural talent to draw from and challenges himself every time he steps on snow.
Count on T.J. for action both on and off skis. The Vernon, B.C., native now resides in Vancouver where he lives fast and hard with his love for ladies, guitars, and music. But beneath the rock star façade is a big heart, too. T,J,’s biggest hero is his dad.
