Follow Jones and the TGR crew as they travel to remote locations in Japan, Georgia, Alaska, and Norway's Arctic Circle. Through research, patience and hard work, the crew was able to live in caves and on glaciers to ride untouched lines without another human in sight.įurther will do just that - go further.
Experimenting to see if this backcountry camping approach would work for the level of riding Jones was after the TGR Deeper crew executed amazing first descents around the world. Teton Gravity Research's Deeper rocked the snowboarding world in September 2010 as Jeremy Jones pushed himself and his crew to summit world-class lines in remote backcountry zones. Further will explore some of the world's most remote terrain while continuing Jones' mission to camp deep in the backcountry and on the summits of unridden lines to access nearly vertical spines and wide open powder fields. There’s a lot of nice features to Colorado.The second installment in the Jeremy Jones trilogy, Deeper, Further, Higher presented by O'Neill. The Aspen segment nods to the town’s posh reputation, with shots of shoppers at the downtown fashion boutiques and of a tiny dog in a onesie, Wilson noting “Apsen has this aura about it as not being as much of a hardcore big mountain skiing town…Then you get out here and it’s super rad. The inclusion of a Colorado segment in “Make Believe” and this Colorado-centric virtual event aren’t the only signals that we’re going to see a bigger TGR presence here – the company also opened a retail store in Breckenridge last month, its first in the state and its third anywhere following openings in Jackson and Bozeman.

The shoot from early 2020 also includes skiers Tim McChesney and Blake Wilson snowmobiling with Hinchliffe to heavenly steeps and secret stashes in what appears to be some of the remote terrain above Lenado and the powder pillows near Independence Pass. We’d get enough snow in my driveway where I was able to build a jump and learn my first backflip.” Reminiscing beside the wood-burning stove in his childhood home, Hinchliffe says, “It was just and inspiring place to grow up.
“Make Believe” features the scene-stealing 13-year-old phenom Kai Jones as well as a star turn from Aspen’s own Colter Hinchliffe, the TGR regular who is featured in a segment in Japan as well as one filmed in the Aspen backcountry (a rarity for the Jackson Hole-based TGR) who guides viewers through his hometown early in the film. The all-access model may be the best hope for feature-length ski filmmaking to survive this post-DVD era dominated by Instagram and the uncertain near-term future for film tours. Normally priced at $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year, TGR Premium opens up access to the entire TGR film library – classic full-lengths like “Higher” and “Deeper” and all of the shorts through the years. “TGR is looking at doing more virtual events like this that still create that sense of engagement that goes beyond just watching the film,” TGR’s Mark Behrendt said.Īlong with the booze and swag, the event includes a three-month access to TGR Premium on Teton Gravity Research TV, the adventure film company’s streaming venture.
