Persistence Pays Off

TGR founder Steve Jones and principal cinematographer Matt Herriger met up with Kye Petersen, Erik Roner, and Wiley Miller to film for TGR's new film, Under The Influence. After a week of high avalanche danger in Romania, and low tide conditions in Grindelwald/Wengen, Arosa was a refreshing surprise.  The conditions were a little firm but 8 inches of new snow, blue skies, and an aggressive crew were enough to make some things happen. Erik Roner hiked a picturesque line with lots of rock and exposure. With slough pouring over the rocks Roner got completely engulfed and spit out of the barrel on his feet.  Guide, Ambassador, and photographer Gary Bachman showed us the goods and was able to get us early ups on the mountain. After mixed conditions throughout the Old Country, persistence paid off and we were able to pull some shots.
