Born to the city of Manchester, Connecticut, and I currently live in Glastonbury, Connecticut. You got any sponsors? Erik Olson over at Yoke Collec- tion has always taken good care of me. Shouts out to the pipe legend. Where did you grow up skiing? I learned to ski at Berkshire East, a tiny little hill in Heath, Massa- chusetts with a killer natural pipe. You buy a season pass this year? Not yet. If I were to buy a pass it would be for Sugarbush and/or Mt Snow. Check-Out Jeremie Veilleux How was the production on Eat the Guts handled? What was that dynamic like? I was brought on for the sec- ond year of filming Eat the Guts, because it was a 2 year project. I don’t know the whole process, but based on what I was involved in, it was just 8 homies working to collaborate ideas and knowledge to cultivate the whole thing. Gaeta and Gibson put mad hours into searching google earth and built quite an impres- sive spot bible. Mckin and Hayes would pretty much either be film- ing or capturing the entire time on trips, and I can’t even fathom how many hours Charlie put into the editing process. Everyone put in their own valiant effort, and for nothing other than 33 minutes of finished product. In my opinion, thats what really made it somthing special. That winter we spent about 6 weeks in Quebec, a few days down in Providence, RI, and zippin around in Southern VT/ NH. The overall dynamic was awesome, it was just a group of buddies who all had one common goal in mind. Simply put, it’s the easiest, most delicious beer to drink day or night. They offer twist off caps on the bottles. We reached out to them once while filming Eat the Guts and they responded by say- ing they only sponsor the NHL. What’s the connection between the HG crew and Labatt’s Blue? There is just somthing about O A S I S that gets me right in soft spot every time I watch it. Favourite HG video? How does it feel to have first part in ETG? You ever signed an autograph for a kid? Nope. It was really cool of those guys to give me opener. Personally I think Jim deserved it. Now that HG is (unfortunately) done, if you could work on any project, what would it be? It would be with my man Stan, or the Zootspace munchkins. Favourite skier? Rory Walsh Favourite brand? Arsenic Worst brand? Virtika Worst Ski trend? Anything bandwangon Worst skier? Josh Wong Any plans for the future? No major plans or anything set in stone, but I do want to go to Montreal. Everyone had their own vision, style, and spot selection. I’ll always be proud to have been a part of HG. Audrey Friess Photo: Jake Kuick By Derek Carlton by Konrad Staszelis Talking With Jarred “Allstar” Haynes “The art I see in freeskiing is beautiful” A true legend in the ski industry, Jarred Haynes is best known as the voice of Salomon Freeski TV. Jarred put out a considerable body of ski-related music. His two mixtapes, The Urban Segment, and The Urban Segment II, are essential listens for any skier. These mixtapes were off the grid for the last few years, but thanks to Jarred they are now avaliable for streaming and download at Snovoid.com/Allstar So turn your stereo up and enjoy this catch up with Jarred. What’s up Jarred. Just to start off, I wanted to ask where you’re from, and where you’re at. Hey, I’m born and raised in Wyan- danch, New York, which is a town on Long Island. I travel a lot but my mom is still on Long Island so lets say that’s still home. I think most people found out about you through Salomon Freeski TV, and I know that most other interviews touch on this, but could you give a brief recap on the how that came to be? The father of my godson Elliot (that’s what I call my brother Mike Rogge now) used to call me to freestyle for various people. One day he was in a room with a group of absolute legends; Mike Douglas, Tanner Hall, Simon Dumont, Shea Flynn, Nick Martini, Tom Walisch and some others, and I freestyle a rap with all of their names and locations. Before I knew it I was able to work with all of them. The godfather Mike Douglas called me about Salomon Freeski TV and the rest is beautiful memories! Salomon Freeski TV season 2 recap episode (Season 2, Episode 20) has you laying down a heavy narration track. What was the writing process for that like, or was it a freestyle? The recap rap was similar to the rest of my voice work for Salo- mon Freeski TV. Douglas would send me a script of the things I needed to cover and a time limit, and I would find a way to make it work. For the recap I sat and re-watched the entire season; looked at the points I was asked to include and created a track My favourite track by you is probably the infamous Warren Miller Entertainment diss track, My Level. What was the making of that like, and how does it feel to be the voice of the people on that topic? Did you ever have any issues with WME after that track came out? “Welcome to the death of Warren Miller Entertainment”, sheesh, what a way to begin a song. The making of that song was intense for me because at the time, I actually had the opportunity to really kick it with a lot of the freeski family for the first time in Montreal at IF3. When I heard what was going on I had to make a song because that’s what I do; I make songs about real life. This song was actually the first song for the first ever skiing related mixtape “The Urban Segment.” I was stoked at the reception it received when it was released and backed by Level 1’s Berman and Decker. It’s so crazy recalling all of these great moments in life. Last I’ve heard, you’ve never really skied. Is that still the case, or have you picked it up a bit? I must admit with a bit of sadness that I have never skied. I’ve been on several mountains. I’ve been to the top of Mont Blanc but I have never skied down anything. The thing is many of my compadres have brought up teaching me but none of accepted the challenge lol. that will always be one of my favorites. I want to say that the track came before the video on my part because I don’t remem- ber seeing the edit, but I had a format to follow. You put out two skiing related mixtapes, The Urban Segment, and The Urban Segment II. What was the process like for these two tapes, and where did you source your inspiration from for these projects? My music always reflects where I am in life, so The Urban Segment Mixtape’s were no different. I was genuinely traveling the world and spending time with this group of phenomenal athletes. Some be- came great friends while others are nothing short of respectable people who I am a fan of. I try to find art in everything and the art I see in freesking is beautiful. You exited the ski world years ago, but do you think you would ever enter back into it, under the right conditions? Maybe for a Snovoid video ;) I’m such a more polished artist, but I would love to work on an- other freestyle record for a video. I also believe a Snovoid/Jarred AllStar collab would only make sense at this point! I still do some behind the scenes music produc- tion for commercial companies so if anyone is in need of affordable instrumentals for movies, I’m also your guy. I have recently released my album “Water and Wine” which is avail- able on all digital platforms. Please add me to your playlist, stream, download, share all of that be- cause I am extremely proud of this body of work. I also just released a mix- tape “The Gift and the Calling” on my Soundcloud along with 31 ran- dom songs, and 2 other projects this year alone. I was able to start my own clothing line, Humble Brag Clothes based off of the sound and message that Water and Wine was able to convey. Working on a Water and Wine Tour so please stay posted on all my social media @jarredallstar , my artist site www. jarredallstar.com or the clothing line page humblebragclothes.com. Thank you so much. Blessings! What’s been going on lately? What projects are you current- ly working on?
