For the first time in TGR’s 30-year history, we made a short film shot on iPhone 17 Pro — with Kai Jones and Sammy Carlson, two of the best freeskiers alive, deep in British Columbia’s Valhalla Range.
High in Valhalla, the mountains don't just stand — they're alive, ever-evolving, transmitting energy, a frequency. Kai and Sammy came to Valhalla to listen and to reverberate that energy back through elite freeskiing. For Teton Gravity Research, this is three decades of award-winning work, and a new way of capturing the line.
Sammy Carlson spent a career writing the language of freeride. Kai Jones grew up reading it. This is the first time they've filmed together at this level — the legend and the phenom on the same canvas, one watching the other, giving energy to each other, and learning as they ride.
