For the first time in nearly two decades of putting out an annual ski film, TGR’s lead segment belongs to a woman. But not only does Angel Collinson break into the boys club in Almost Ablaze, which premiered Saturday at a sold-out outdoor showing in Teton Village, Wyoming, she damn near tears down the walls. Collinson, the 24-year-old skier who grew up sharing a room with her brother, Johnny, in her parents’ employee housing unit at Snowbird, Utah, delivers a performance that undoubtedly seals her place as one of the best big mountain female skiers in the world.
But as good as Collinson’s performance was, it did not quite steal the show. Which says a lot about TGR’s latest film. For many years, viewers could count on TGR to follow a tried-and-true formula: heavy skiing, heavy music, athlete voiceovers, and little humor packaged into a sharply edited cinematic tour de ski porn. The films often left you breathless and amazed, but with little connection to the skiing most people do in their own lives.
Almost Ablaze maintains a very TGR feel. There’s extraordinary skiing in extraordinary places, as well as the obligatory (but still great) close-up pow shots in Jackson Hole and lots of helicopters. But this movie is much more fun and relatable than previous films. Angel’s genuine skiing spirit translates well to film, while her brother skis a filthy couloir in La Grave before spinning a three in the runout, and then throwing a backflip for good measure, just for the sheer enjoyment of it. Ian McIntosh—who is back after missing most of the last two years to injury—is often in the background providing commentary, whooping and hollering over the crackle of the radio. This is the veteran who can’t contain his own excitement at watching his friends rip. It’s Mac’s reminder to everyone that skiing, above all else, is the greatest thing in the world.
