Teton Gravity Research brings the fall line to New Jersey

The centerpiece of the evening is the screening of Actually, It Is Rocket Science. Produced by Teton Gravity Research (TGR), the film frames the act of skiing as a scientific pursuit, treating mountains as laboratories and every descent as an experiment. The production captures some of the world’s best skiers navigating extreme terrain across a global map.

The film’s scope is expansive, featuring footage from:

Bute Inlet, British Columbia and Haines, Alaska
Japan, Finland, and Andorra
Montana, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Jay Peak, Vermont

For the local community, the screening is more than just a cinematic experience; it is a fundraising vehicle. The event includes prizes and giveaways throughout the night, including lift tickets, vouchers, snowboards, and gift cards. One of the high-value draws is the chance to win a day of Catskiing with Vahalla-Baldace.
