The Team
Noah Gaffney
At 9 years old, Noah began venturing into the backcountry with his father, the late legendary freeskiing pioneer Robb Gaffney. By 15, he had skied most of the major mountains around Tahoe, many in the Eastern Sierra, and multiple 14,000 peaks throughout California.
Today he continues to forge is own path, skiing big exposed lines in the eastern sierra and going huge off of features at Palisades.
One of the raddest skiers in Tahoe, Noah has been involved in making the ALPENFLOW 89 since the beginning, giving constant feedback throughout the design process. You could say that our bindings were built for him.
Reinhart Plexico
Born and raised in Olympic Valley, Reinhart was on skis before he was 18 months old. With Palisades Tahoe as his backyard, he developed a love for skiing early on. It wasn’t long before the backcountry pulled him in, opening up a whole new chapter of exploration.
When he’s not at the resort or deep in the mountains, Reinhart is a full-time college student taking online courses, working to balance his education with his passion for skiing.
Jedediah Kravitz
Jed Kravitz is a big-mountain skier, former Freeride World Tour competitor, and freeride coach at Palisades Tahoe. Based in Truckee, Jed can be found throwing down in the park, charging steep big-mountain terrain, or climbing ambitious peaks throughout the Eastern Sierra. Whether he’s coaching young athletes or pushing his own skiing to new heights, Jed's passion and versatility shine across every discipline.
Nick Oberriter
Growing up in Truckee and living in Tahoe City, Nick also has been skiing since before he could walk. He is aggressively against self promotion, so you probably haven't heard of him but with a race background and a knack for free-ride, Nick is a truly impressive skier.
Currently Nick works for the Palisades Tahoe Race Crew putting on events like the FIS World Cup, but you're more likely to see him throwing cork 7's on blades out of the wiggle in the spring.
