We’ve got something brewing. The crewembarked on a multi-day strike mission last week in Grand Teton National Park. Their goal: To climb and ski the Otter Body, known as one of the most prominent routes on the Grand Teton, and to tag in a few bonus lines off the Middle and South Teton while they were in the area.Just 15 months after shattering both legs in a skiing accident, Kai has defied the odds and returned to the mountains. With the help of elite mountain guide Doug Workman, accomplished guide and skier Adam Fabrikant, cinematographer Erich Roepke, and pro skier Nick Mcnu*tt, Kai and the team safely navigated the mountains and successfully skied the legendary Otter Body route. Kai is now the youngest person to ever ski this route!Read more and keep your eyes peeled for updates coming in the near future!

    So stoked to share this vision by Atomic athlete and POW ambassador Amie Engerbretson with the world. 'The Hypocrite' dives into the imperfect world of outdoor recreation and the impacts on the environment.

    TGR values our longtime partners, and at the center of it all is the legendary Jackson Hole Mountain Resort - home to 'Big Red'. 🚠 In 1966, that big red box changed everything. Ascending 4,139 feet, the Tram whisked powder hounds to the top of Rendezvous Mountain. Today, JHMR’s Big Red continues to be the vehicle that takes us higher to places where powder dreams come true. Introducing the Ride Big Red Collection - a celebration and merch #collaboration between TGR and Jackson Hole. Available exclusively online and at TGR Jackson and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort retail locations. 👀 View the Collection: https://bit.ly/3SLob5w#TGRLivetheDream #partnershipsmatter #brandedmerch

    Don't call it a comeback. Alex Ferreira delivered a hometown win at #XGames2024, taking home his 3rd GOLD 🏆 “It’s the most unbelievable feeling I’ve ever felt,” the Aspen-born skier said in the finish area. “This is the sweetest redemption I’ve ever tasted. I fell both runs really hard last year. I didn’t even know if I was going to continue to compete after that. And to come back, wow, what can you say. I’m out of words I’m so happy.”TGR had a chance to film with Alex last winter. "Inside the Mind of Alex Ferreira" is testament to his hard work & perseverance 💪🏼 - Congrats Alex! 🎥 Jeremy Grant and Aaron WhitleyColumbia Sportswear Company Völkl Sports GmbH #tgrlivethedream

    In the heart of the 2022/23 winter season, one of the biggest snow seasons on record, Wyoming's Teton County Search & Rescue experienced five rescues in five days. Why? Lack of knowledge? Heuristic traps? Social media creating false confidence? Sheer bad luck?In partnership with Friends of Bridger-Teton, TGR presents Backcountry Responsibly, a digital film targeted at the growing number of winter backcountry users whose impact on the surrounding public lands has increased dramatically in recent years.Watch on YT 👉 https://lnkd.in/gG3mj3DCLearn More 👉 https://lnkd.in/ge2iUcrnJackson Hole Travel and Tourism Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Teton Backcountry Alliance Bridger Teton Avy Center Teton County Search and Rescue Foundation Jackson Hole Nordic NXTLVL
