“In Pursuit of Soul” is now available for free streaming on Teton Gravity Research TV, TGR’s streaming application, which can be found on Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire, as well as right from your desktop.Good for jacking my checking my handful of consistent threads It’s a refreshing break from traditional ski porn, where it’s all about getting out there-and getting rad. It’s just about getting out there and doing it.” “You don’t have to feel the pressure of being good. “The idea is that you don’t have to be an expert to come ski at these mountains,” says Holt. Instead, “In Pursuit of Soul” zeros in on storytelling and the regular people who make these indy resorts what they are. In fact, there’s limited ski action in the film. You won’t see the edgy action that most other TGR films focus on. “One-hundred percent, this is a different film than what our audience has come to expect,” he continues, “but that’s very intentional.” We’re starting to realize what’s important.” “I think people are in a different mindset to embrace this film now because of the experiences we’ve all gone through over the last year. “As this film is coming out now, the energy and vibe is resonating more deeply than it would have prior to the pandemic,” says Holt. The story (and plight) of the ski industry’s hidden gem resorts and underdogs is one that’s always well received, but it’s bound to hit even closer to home after two ski seasons plagued by a pandemic, which forced more skiers to stick closer to home and discover (or rediscover) the mom and pop hills in their backyard.

Now in its third season, this affordable multi-resort season pass has grown to include 74 independent ski resorts across North America (plus four in Japan), including the 12 Eastern and Northwest areas featured in “In Pursuit of Soul.” To bring this project to the masses, TGR partnered with the Indy Pass, perhaps the staunchest supporter of independently owned and operated resorts across the country since its inception in 2018.

The film highlights 12 independently owned and operated ski areas in New England and the Northwest, delving into their rich histories, their contributions to ski culture, and their struggle to survive in the face of corporate-run mega resorts and increased homogenization of ski areas across the country. I just think they’re a really important part of the fabric of our industry.” Watch: “In Pursuit of Soul” TrailerĪnd that free-spirited, indy vibe is what “In Pursuit of Soul” is all about. I love the culture and the vibe of those places. “I’ve always just gravitated towards the free-spirited, indy-style mountains. “The idea of independent mountain resorts has always been important to me,” says Holt, who grew up back East and learned to ski at N.H.’s Black Mountain, featured in the film. Instead, this new short film produced by Drew Holt and directed by Jeremy Grant shines a light on a more humble side of our sport: The mom and pop ski hills across the country, and the skiers and riders who call these fiercely independent resorts home. And TGR’s home mountain, Jackson Hole, which usually plays a starring role in the company’s films, is noticeably absent. There’s no high-flying action or crazy cliff drops for one.
