TGR Goes Private Equity

by The Editors on June 20, 2008

Teton Gravity Research, the company most widely known for their ski movies (that occasionally include snowboarding) and their popular website, has been purchased by private equity firm BlackHawk Capital Management for an undisclosed amount, according to a press release posted on Private Equity Hub.

BlackHawk Capital Management recently completed the purchase of Jackson Hole, WY based Teton Gravity Research (TGR), a feature film and TV production company referred to by Outside Magazine as “one of the most influential companies in the outdoor industry.” TGR has produced 23 award winning films and 53 half hours of television programming over the past 12 years while establishing the leading brand in adrenaline sports.

Guess we’ll see how the Jones boys like having business jocks for bosses. They’ll probably be really optimistic about it for about three or four weeks.
