TGR Partners With ICEdot For IPRW - Higher Unplugged Episode 3

In Episode 3 of Higher Unplugged, Jeremy Jones and his fellow athletes travel to Snowbird Resort to refine their mountaineering and rescue skills at the International Pro Riders’ Workshop presented by Teton Gravity Research and ICEdot. Started by TGR and former lead guide, Jim Conway, IPRW has emerged as an essential resource for these athletes. Each December, TGR’s production crew, athletes, and guides spend a week learning and reviewing the skills necessary to safely navigate backcountry terrain and respond to emergencies that may arise within it. With a curriculum that includes rope and rescue skills, snow science, group dynamics, and wilderness first aid, the International Pro Riders’ Workshop helps skiers and snowboarders push further into the backcountry—and safely return from it.Higher Unplugged takes you behind the scenes of Jeremy Jones’ two-year snowboarding film, Higher. Jones has gathered friends old and new to pass the torch to the next generation of big mountain rippers. His crew for the film includes Bryan Iguchi, Luca Pandolfi, Lucas Merli, Ryland Bell, and others. With these friends, Jeremy leaves tracks on signature lines in the close-to-home playgrounds he's made his own around Jackson Hole and Lake Tahoe. He also makes history with far-flung first descents in the Eastern Alaska Range and the Himalaya of Nepal, where the stakes are as high as the peaks themselves.For the film trailer check out the Higher film page hereFor more episodes of Higher UnpluggedDrop in with TGR!Facebook: http://facebook.com/tetongravityresearchInstagram: http://instagram.com/tetongravityYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/tetongravityresearchTwitter: http://twitter.com/TetonGravity#jjoneshigherCheck out the first two chapters of the trilogy:DEEPER: http://bit.ly/17hpujmFURTHER: http://bit.ly/1gJB1vH
