We're joined in studio by Tom Ritsch during his stop in Boston with the TGR team to premiere their 2023 film. Tom is an Austrian-born freeskier who unexpectedly got the call to shoot with TGR last March. This was Tom’s first time shooting with TGR and he took full advantage of the opportunity and ended up playing a huge role in a banger heli-skiing segment in the new movie.

He spent the year crafting an epic segment for the new TGR movie in which he scoped out, hiked, and ripped on some of Grand Teton National Park's highest peaks ..read more

Season is built from the idea that buying and owning skis and snowboards needs to be simplified, and the life of hardgoods should be longer, wit ..read more
