The evening will begin with a short film, “Red Bull’s Rail Report”, which was shot on the Lees-91探花 campus this past winter and features professional rider and Blowing Rock native Luke Winkelmann. Attendees will then view “Stoke the Fire,” a new film added to the Teton Gravity Research Film Tour that explores the evolution of skiers and the joy of the sport.
“With more knowledge comes more exploration, both physically and geographically, that helps to understand what those raw experiences connected with nature do for the soul,” according to the Teton Gravity Research website. “With more experience an examination of our shared history becomes important, and ultimately some of us might want to test our limits at the upper echelon of what is possible by drawing upon the sum of our knowledge and experiences. While the answers we find are different for everyone the pursuit of this evolution is something sacred, the pursuit is what stokes the fire.”
