Bio

After winning the 2004 US Freeskiing Open big air as an unknown, there was no denying the name TJ Schiller.  The victories kept coming, and TJ expanded his horizons by demolishing backcountry pillow lines in the opening segment of MSP’s “CLAIM.”  Injury sidelined TJ for the rest of 2008, but he was back with a vengeance in 2009 when he took top honors at X Games slopestyle and traveled across the US and Canada to capture footage for “IN DEEP.”
