In episode 13 of Teton Gravity Research's Blast From The Past web series we take a look at Sage Cattabriga-alosa's segment from TGR's 2003 film "High Life." At this point in time, Sage was just busting on to the scene, going from being a dishwasher at Alta to fully living the dream of being a professional skier. Set to Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls," this is one of the most definitive Teton Gravity Research segments of all time. Teton Gravity Research's Blast From The Past web seri...

For pros who ply their trade in front of cameras, much of their winter is based around chasing snow.

TGR athletes Nick McNutt, Tim Durtschi, Dylan Hood, and Dane Tudor spent several weeks skiing the area’s legendary pillows—and eating shit.

With the help of Alaska Alpine Adventures and Doug Brewer, TGR’s guides haul load after load of gear into the remote mountains of the Neacola range.

In part two of Teton Gravity Research’s web series Behind The Full Face we see big mountain skier Ian McIntosh go deep in Pemberton, British Columbia, on his snow machine with skier Dana Flahr as a way to train for the mountains in Alaska. Ian then takes it to AK with fellow riders Jeremy Jones, Sage Cattabriga-alosa and Seth Morrison. Finally, Ian gains the experience to break out on his own and starts pioneering first descents.
