The Lees-McRae High Country Adventure Film and Speaker Series has returned for another year of exciting film screenings and speaker events, and this year’s series is kicking off with the Teton Gravity Research (TGR) film for 2024 on Saturday, Dec. 7.
This year’s Teton Gravity Research film will be screened at the Beech Mountain Brewery Taproom and Grill at 7 p.m. Doors for the event will open at 5 p.m., and all proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Lees-McRae Ski and Snowboard team as they begin their first varsity season.
This year’s film is “Beyond the Fantasy,” a film not only about snow sports, but also about turning dreams into reality. According to the TGR website, “Beyond the Fantasy” brings viewers along with athletes at the top of their game, “as they transform improbable mental images into breathtaking feats of athleticism and creativity. From the world's most stunning mountain landscapes to the joyous absurdities that make riding on snow a way of life, this film is a celebration of the unbreakable bond that unites our community.”
