Eric “E‑Jack” Jackson is a standout figure in big‑mountain snowboarding and the outdoor lifestyle world. Born near Mammoth Mountain, California, Jackson grew up shredding steep Eastern Sierra faces before emerging as a core backcountry talent featured in films like Draw the Line, The Fourth Phase, Alignment, and the epic Brothers On The Run journey from Alaska to Chile. He earned recognition on Snowboarder Magazine’s Top 10 Riders of 2017 list and cemented his reputation as a backcountry freestyle innovator. Off the snow, Eric embraces his life as a rugged outdoorsman—drawn to archery elk hunting, steelhead fishing, fly‑fishing, and playing banjo when unwinding—acknowledging that both riding and hunting demand deep awareness of one’s environment and mental toughness. Based in the Pacific Northwest, he continues to collaborate on gear (including his pro‑model boots and accessories), create impactful film content, and inspire through his love of wilderness, grit, and exploration.
