I’ve long admired TGR for their unwavering dedication to action sports and adventure, so to have this activation launch with such mavericks of the industry, against the jaw-dropping backdrop of the Tetons, is a true dream.”

During the film’s early show and late show, Grounded wines will also be served at the hosted bar in the screening venue, Walk Festival Hall.
