About Jill

Jill was born in Moorpark, California, and grew up with a skateboard underneath her feet. As a teenager, she got on snow, bringing her skateboarding style and approach right along with her. She moved to Lake Tahoe to pursue her dreams of becoming a professional snowboarder, and the rest, as they say, is history. She was named Snowboarder Magazine’s Women's Rookie of the Year in 2017, and her epic part in the “Tangle” video led Slush Magazine to name Jill the 2021 Women’s Rider of the Year.

Jill is both a leader on snow and in the LGBTQ+ community, where she’s known for promoting inclusivity and for smashing through boundaries. We are proud to have Jill on the TJB team and to call her our friend. You can follow along with her journey at @jill_perkins on Instagram.
