The film will be followed by the world premiere of the snowboard film “Blank Canvas.” “Inspiration is evoked spontaneously and without intention … Sometimes it comes in the form of a photograph, a chance encounter on a chairlift, or a glimpse at a mountain never seen before. When combined with motivation, the spark of inspiration becomes a dream, and when pursued gives our lives a new purpose,” according to a press release from TGR. “For 25 years, TGR has focused on turning ‘Make Believe’ into reality, from exploring powder stashes in our backyard playground to first descents on unnamed peaks, the ethos of ‘live the dream’ has defined our adventures.” Gates at 6:30 p.m., with the show starting at 7:30. Tickets are $30 per vehicle and includes the first two people, $10 each additional passenger. The event includes prize giveaways. | Tickets tetongravity.com
