Teton Gravity Research's "Actually, It Is Rocket Science"

Actually, It Is Rocket Science is a tongue-in-cheek look at the seemingly reckless abandon that many of the world’s best snow athletes display as they push the physics of what is possible. Athletes explore the intricacies of dissecting a big mountain line, the physics and amplitude of a massive gap, calculating transition, and the force of gravity.

So, is it rocket science—or is it not?

Watch closely and decide for yourself.
