Backshop Manager & Tydel Wrangler

Jesse “J-Man” Cassidy grew up wrestling polar bears and wearing seal skins for warmth in the Great White North, Alaska, for those residing in the lower 48. After perfecting his skiing technique at Alyeska, a desire for new mountains, new people, and to see his good buddy, Tydel, brought J-Man southwards to seek his fortune. While he enjoys most aspects of the great sport we know as skiing, it’s the little things that keep bringing him back; drinking, the sliding down snow part, traveling and, oh did we mention drinking? After 6 glorious years spent working at Granite Chief Jesse now patrols the tuning benches as the backshop manager and official “Tydel Wrangler”, a position that’s not without its challenges. When he’s not wrangling Tydels or mounting skis Jesse enjoys traveling, biking, whitewater rafting and, did we mention drinking?
