Don’t you just hate misleading headlines? Me too. So apologies for the headline of this article. Teton Gravity Research unleashed the trailer for their latest ski film, “Far Out.” While I don’t know if Utah skiing features prominently in the movie (based on the trailer I highly doubt it) there are two Utah landmarks that make an appearance. The Salt Lake International Airport and a bottle of High West whiskey. And yes, I consider High West whiskey a landmark.
Beyond that, you should still check out the trailer. As usual, it appears that TGR is once again treating our snow-starved brains to another powdery travel-fest with skis firmly on feet.
And here is the film’s synopsis:
“Far Out embodies the imagination as much as it does a physical space. It is the quest to seek out undiscovered realms and inspire new waves of creativity, enlightenment, and progression. It is the quest to be blown away.”
“Join the TGR crew on one of its boldest missions ever. The film follows the perspective of an athlete as he embarks on a journey to one of the most remote and unexplored mountain ranges on the planet, the Albanian Alps. While the final destination appears to be the ultimate goal, it is the collective of athletes, experiences, and the array of locations around the world that inevitably drive the season’s adventure. Witness mind-bending pillow lines as the crew camps out deep in the Purcell Mountains of British Columbia. Experience urban madness in Kamchatka and the insanity of the Crazy Mountains in Montana.”
“Join the crew in the Slovenian Alps for over-the-head cold smoke and watch an 11-year-old rip Jackson Hole. Discover the alien landscape of Girdwood, Alaska in January and see Sean Jordan ride into Crested Butte on a black stallion to shred the Southern Rockies. Find out if the wildest and most untamed mountains in Europe let us in, and if the ultimate destination became a reality.”
Yep, no mention of Utah… but hey, at least High West got a shout-out, right?
“Far Out” screens in Salt Lake City on September 19th at Red Butte Gardens. Tickets are on sale now.
