'Beyond the Fantasy'

What would winter look like without a little high-risk snow sports fandom? Pretty bleak, if you ask Teton Gravity Research. The Wyoming multimedia and apparel company presents its 29th annual ski and snowboard flick, Beyond the Fantasy, at Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center in Stowe. The mesmerizing film focuses on the transformation of seemingly impossible athletic feats — such as jumping from a helicopter into the white abyss with skis on — into stunning realities. Jaw-dropping aerial cinematography and close-up action shots highlight these incredible undertakings of athleticism, leaving viewers breathless and inspired to get outside and ride. (Perhaps without the harrowing chopper plunge.)
