From waffles, to dropping Corbets Couloir, and hitting some of the most notable natural features that formed on the mountain this spring, Durtschi's segment successfully captures the essence of spring skiing.Īfter opening up last year's film with a jaw-dropping segment, this year Angel Collinson proved herself once again. Paradise Waits - a ski and snowboard film.
After Sage Cattibra-Alosa's (almost) perfect line, the film takes us back to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort for a tram lap to 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' with Tim Durtschi. But for the TGR team, this only hardened their pursuit of winters rewards. Most of the crew made it out to Fantasy Camp in Alaska where TGR parks and recreation crew kept up a high functioning society at the base of many of their dream lines. It was not only the descent that made it notable, but the high-risk climb to get himself to where he would drop in. While not shown at the festival, Griffin Post skied possibly the burliest lines of the film- one that you should keep an eye out for. After the East Coast's record breaking storm, there was an entire new realm of hittable features that the riders took advantage of, which hyped up the crowd as they moved into the final segments which were previewed. The film then heads to Boston, featuring some of the festival's favorite athletes, who also appeared in 'For Lack of Better'- Cam Riley and Clayton Vila. The boys then spend Japanuary skiing every pillow that Japow has to offer. They fit the quirky personalities of each of the athletes into the entire film, including opening up with Johnny Collinson, Tim Durtschi, and Colter Hinchliffe stealing the hearts of ladies in Tokyo. This meant multiple Boston segments, multiple heli segments, and best of all we got to see Angel Collinson (who took home Female Performance of the Year) ski crazy lines the entire movie.Ĭontrary to typical expectations from TGR, the film is more than skiing Alaskan spines and Jackson Hole backcountry. Teton Gravity was not the only production company this season to take on trip-based rather than athlete-based segments- Paradise Waits followed a chronological timeline documenting each location and trip.

The pro skier then managed to get up and walk away with some very minor injuries. “As I was tumbling I covered my face and protected my head with my arms and I kind of just held on until I stopped,” said Collinson. Realizing she wasn’t able to stop herself, Collinson took cover the best she could while falling uncontrollably. “It kind of bumped my ski up above me to my left and my body kept going down to my right and then that’s when I started falling,” said Collinson.
She tells Good Morning America in an exclusive interview she was in Alaska filming with Teton Gravity Research for the movie, “Paradise Waits,” when she hit some icy chunky snow.
