Five of the Deepest TGR Pow Segments of All-Time

Nothing gets the blood moving like a blizzard warning and a fresh forecast for deep powder. For three decades, Teton Gravity Research has been dedicated to capturing those impossibly deep days, the ones where floating feels like flying and every turn is a guaranteed face shot.

These moments are rare, demanding a perfect alignment of weather, camera crew, and athlete commitment. We've dug deep into the archives and pulled five legendary segments that define the art of riding blower snow.

Film: Anomaly (2005)

Before Niseko became the global powder destination it is today, TGR was already there, capturing the magic. Back then, Sage Cattabriga-Alosa cemented his status as a powder legend in this Anomaly segment. As a result, this piece has become textbook — it’s not just deep; it’s the quality of the snow that makes it stand out.

Watching Sage navigate those trees in the weightless, dry Japanese snow is a masterclass in fluidity. The footage clearly demonstrates why they call it “Japow.” The snow is so light it looks like water being displaced by a boat. Ultimately, Sage’s effortless style in such a unique environment sets a high bar for deep-snow riding.

Film: Under the Influence (2008)

You cannot talk about TGR powder without mentioning the home base: Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Back in 2008, the crew got absolutely hammered. In this segment, Shroder Baker showcases the sheer intensity of a classic Jackson Hole storm.

This clip is pure adrenaline. Baker is straight-lining through the White Room with almost zero visibility. It’s both a terrifying and beautiful example of full commitment in heavy conditions. The sheer volume of snow Shroder is displacing proves just how significant this day was for the Jackson crew.

Film: Winterland (2018)

Sometimes, the forecast delivers a historic cycle. This segment captures one of the best Februaries Jackson Hole had ever seen, resulting in bottomless conditions. Todd Ligare, Hadley Hammer, & Tim Durtschi took advantage of the legendary stability and depth.

Importantly, the contrast here is awesome. You see the sheer scale of the snowpack on steep, technical terrain. Hadley Hammer's turns, in particular, show perfect control while being fully submerged. Ultimately, the segment’s energy is infectious, perfectly capturing that giddy, almost disbelieving feeling of having too much snow.

Film: Stoke the Fire (2020)

What happens when a legendary storm hits a legendary resort? You get this segment. Although, TGR is known for its backcountry exploits, this clip highlights the pure, unadulterated joy of deep days at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort itself.

The opening shots show massive lift lines, a true sign of a once-in-a-season day, but once the athletes drop in, the chaos is replaced by silence and spray. Meanwhile, Tim Durtschi, Kai Jones, Veronica Paulsen, Caite Zeliff, and Jim Ryan navigate the resort's massive features, proving that deep powder makes every turn iconic. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes, the best skiing is right in your own backyard.

Film: Legend Has It (2022)

The 2022 winter was immediately deemed a classic, and TGR captured the evidence. This segment from Legend Has It asks the right question: was this the deepest winter ever at Jackson Hole? The footage says, "Yes."

This is a true athlete posse edit, featuring Alex Armstrong, Griffin Post, Tim Durtschi, Jake Hopfinger, Kai Jones, Parkin Costain, and Simon Hillis. From start to finish, every frame showcases the deep truth: riders are disappearing into the snow on every turn. The sheer volume of snow captured in this segment is astounding. It’s the perfect, modern capstone to TGR’s long history of documenting the world's best powder. It truly pushes the limits of what a powder day looks like.

As the autumn air turns crisp and the calendar ticks closer to winter, clips like these are exactly what we need. The count is officially on. Wax the bases, tune the edges, and start visualizing those deep days. We’ll see you out there when the snow starts to stack up, ready to ride some of the deepest conditions the world has to offer.
