Teton Gravity Research

THE BEGINNING OF AN ADVENTURE It all started with a vision and some hard-earned cash from fishing in Alaska. In 1995, Steve Jones, Todd Jones, and Dirk Collins combined their earnings from working as commercial fishermen and heli-ski guides to invest in camera gear. They teamed up with their longtime friend Corey Gavitt to capture the exciting developments in action sports. However, rather than just documenting these changes, they soon became key players in promoting them. Driven by a passion for highlighting the best athletes in the world and creating a company that valued their insights, the group launched Teton Gravity Research (TGR). Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, TGR began producing top-notch films focused on skiing, snowboarding, and surfing. Now, eighteen years and thirty-two films later, the company has transformed and grown, becoming a significant presence in the action sports media landscape.
