One for the Road is a HD ski film that follows some of the world’s most progressive snow sports athletes as it documents their lives on the road and captures some of the most stunning riding to date. Road trips are an integral part of every adventurer’s life and a conduit to define one’s being. Journeys to new lands shed light on each skier’s personal mission. Whether shredding with longtime ski partners or meeting a seasoned character in some far off country, wisdom is gained through these new experiences. The road trip is a metaphor for every skier’s existence.

Shot on location, prepare for a visually stunning voyage. Join the athletes as they rock a record-breaking season in Jackson Hole, immerse themselves into the culture of Japan’s powder mecca Hokkaido, discover Iceland’s urban side, explore the Balkan wonders of Macedonia and Montenegro, shred deep pillow lines at Baldface Lodge, uncover first descents in Pemberton, B.C., and hit full throttle lines in the perfect snow and weather of Juneau, Alaska. Join the award-winning producers at Teton Gravity Research as they embark on the ultimate road trip.

Directed by Teton Gravity Research, 2011
