I’m sitting next to Wiley Miller and Freedle Coty as they sift through a multitude of shots from Wiley’s season.  It’s late and my eyes are heavy, but I can’t peel them away.  From over their shoulders it’s nothing but dramatic landscapes, foreign cultures, lifestyles, crashes, and some simply amazing skiing.  A personable Montanan, Wiley Miller seems at home in the towering mountains that he travels through.  I pried the skier away from the editing bay to talk candidly about his season, his recent injury, and the joys of being a blogger. Interview by: Jonnie Sirotek Let’s touch on your background first.  Where did you grow up, where did you ski, and how did you progress your skiing I was born and raised in Billings, MT.   Grew up skiing Red Lodge Mt Resort and Big Sky in...

Western New York is seldom considered a hotbed of freeskiing talent.  Known more for its cold weather and icy conditions, skiing on the east coast breeds a different brand of skier.  From this landscape emerged 22-year-old Ahmet Dadali.  Quickly climbing his way up the park and urban scene, Ahmet has become a mainstay in Level 1 movies.  I recently sat down with the skier to discuss his season, life on the road, and his thoughts on the future of skiing. Interview by: Jonnie Sirotek Growing up in New York, how did you get into the freestyle scene? I started skiing when I was around nine years old with my brother, Giray.  We started jumping right from the bunny slope hitting any bump we could.  When I was 10 I met Tim Russell, who became a good friend of ours. ...

Its no secret that taller-fitting T's have been the preferred fit for a solid percentage of the skiing community over the past few years, including the majority of Level 1's athletes.  Tall T (the company out of Breckenridge, CO) brings some of the freshest designs and best-fitting Ts to the table.  Putting 2 and 2 together was never easier, and with that, we're stoked to announce the beginning of what we expect to be a long and fruitful relationship between Level 1 and Tall T. "Level 1 and their athletes are at the top of their game right now, and we're really looking forward to being part of the program" commented Tall T's founder, Joshua Haupt.  "Tall T strives to stay underground, supplying the people out there like us," added Haupt, about the company's mantra.  "Our designs reflect our...

At the ripe ages of 19 and 20 respectively, Parker White and Chris Logan stepped up to the plate this past Spring and quickly proved they could hold their own with some of the most recognizable park slayers and seasoned veterans in the Level 1 crew.  Longtime friends, both skiers are quickly making names for themselves.  I recently interviewed the two friends about their seasons, Eye Trip, and the much-anticipated Sun Valley transfer gap.

Interview by: Jonnie Sirotek
