Throwback! Just found this one in the archives and wanted to share it with the world- LJ didn't win Superunknown III, but still went on to crush it over the next few years, logging comp wins and segments with some of the best film companies out. We couldn't be more stoked to finally have LJ on the Level 1 crew for the 2012 season- and couldn't be more bummed that his season was just cut short. Send that kid some positive healing vibes!

Aspen, Colorado — For the first time in Winter X Games history, the Men’s Ski Slopestlye final was held under the lights at Buttermilk Mountain. That, along with the falling snow, provided the ideal backdrop for Tom Wallisch’s gold medal record score of 96.00, his first Winter X Games medal.
“This is amazing,” Wallisch said with a smile beaming across his face. “Under the lights in primetime and this crowd, it is amazing. I think it’s going to open the sport up to a bigger audience and make it just that much sicker to watch."
His winning run was highlighted by a wallride on the first feature, deemed Wall Street that left his fellow competitors wowed. With the competition level at an all-time...

Last day at Stevens Pass- Hornbeck stumbled upon this field of overgrown marshmallows. We're calling this zone the "Bird Massacre Pillows" after finding the gruesome remains of dead birds strewn all over the place- weird, yeah, looks like some crows decided to pick on some little birds and things got outta hand. Weird. True.

While most of the US and Canada is suffering a pretty miserable winter right now, there are a few pockets that seem to have avoided the worst of the warm/dry trends.

THREE TOUGH LOOKING RUSSIAN POLICE WALK TOWARDS US TOTING PISTOL GRIP KALASHNIKOV RIFLES. It’s 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning in the suburbs of Moscow, in a country where few people (especially police) smile in public and corruption is rampant. All I can think about is that things can go real bad, real quick. I look around at my crew—skiers Tom Wallisch, Ahmet Dadali and Mike Hornbeck, and Level 1 Productions filmer Kyle Decker— and see they all appear similarly gripped, out of place and less than comfortable in the minus 18-degree morning.
The mission is a quad-kink rail we had been kicked of the previous night by a crazed tenant of the nearby housing projects. Obviously, it wasn’t the first time someone had come to shred the solid... Posted by Josh Berman | in Live News | No Comments »

"The movie itself was highly anticipated and delivered on all levels. The world tour of shots was incredible.

Sun Valley shots were sick... as was the Moscow and Japan footy. Itunes download is eminent.

Last year when I hosted a premiere in Prince George, BC for Level 1 Productions’ 11th feature film, Eye Trip, all I was hoping for was to sell enough tickets to break even for the night, and maybe have enough money left over to buy a new pair of bindings. But when I made a last minute decision to donate the profits from the night to a young man, whose name I hardly knew, I had no idea the snowball effect I was about to create.
Shortly after last year’s Eye Trip premiere I took some time to write to Level 1’s Josh Berman to let him know what we had done with the money from the premiere, and being the top notch guy he is, Josh donated Level 1’s portion of...

Armed only with a flashlight and a belt, Frank Warren found at least six bears in his backyard, going through trash and eating apples from his tree.
"I tried to run him off, scare him off, which didn't work. He did run to the apple tree but he turned around and he came back facing, and he came back charging me so, I ran back and he went to that tree and he hugged it,...

Last October Level 1 Productions premiered “Eye Trip” in Prince George, BC. At the premiere Level 1 charged a cover and provided gear for the raffle. The movie was well-received and the packed venue coupled with the oohs and aahs during the film were evidence of that. Unlike most premieres though, all of the proceeds from the raffle and admission for the event went to a good cause, (then 15-year-old) Landon McGauley from Quesnel, British Columbia. High Fives Foundation and Level 1 Productions have had a long relationship, and upon hearing the story of teenage British Columbia native Landon McGauley, High Fives reached out to Level 1 for the introduction. On July 4th of last year Landon was involved in a downhill mountain biking...

Not quite in stock yet- still waiting on the finished Ts to show up, but we're just a couple weeks out on a re-stock of the previously sold-out Camo Tall T. Chose either the new Box logo, or the traditional Level 1 script. Available for pre-order exclusively in the Level 1 online store! And yeah, its a complete coincidence that Ahmet is wearing one in the thumbnail for the Live News story just below this one. Seriously. Weird.
Ahmet did a quick Q&A with the crew from Skiers.dk on his past season, filming with Level 1, and the state of skiing in general. As always, he speaks his mind.
Hey Ahmet. What are you up to at the moment? Yo man, at this moment I am chillin in MT. Hood Oregon, just got done with a road bike ride to start the morning off, grabbed some fruits to keep the body healthy. We are a lot of people who are looking forward to ”After Dark” from Level 1 Productions. Can we expect the same sick part in “After Dark” like you had in Eye Trip? I'd like to think so, I worked on a rough cut of my segment with my homie Decker, and it's looking pretty good. I got cut a little short of a full...

Last year, Parker White made a cameo appearance in Level 1 Productions’ film Eye Trip. This year, for After Dark,White traveled to places like Hokkaido, Japan, and Cooke City, Mont., with L1P, and he has a full-on segment in the film. Here, Powder.com talks with White about his groundbreaking year and his adventures with the Level 1 crew.
Powder.com: What have you been up to this summer?
PARKER WHITE: I was hanging out in California, and then flew back to Pennsylvania to visit my sister and niece who live in Pottstown, which was cool. Next I headed down to Vermont to see my dad and some of my friends. Soon I was off to Bar Harbor, Maine because my mom lives up there. I got to ride my motorcycle around. Flew out to Denver to look at my footage from...

Check the full writeup here. Needless to say, we're pretty flattered at the mention!
(CBS)- Level 1 Productions is known for its yearly release of the best freeskiing films out there. This year, "After Dark" takes it to a whole new level (pun intended), with death-defying jumps, and tricks with moves that will leave you stunned and absolutely speechless.
It is a video shot with some of the world's best and most extreme freeskiers out there, so you know the action will be incredible. But the camera work is truly awesome, exposing us to a reality we rarely are a part of, a visual experience unlike anything we've seen.
While this is just the trailer, the entire film is set to be released on September 9th, 2011, so get ready to be blown away in a few months when footage like...

Fresh off the presses- our long overdue updated seasonal Tall T release. You asked for it and we’ve switched things up and gone back to the fit and finish of our original Summer ’09 Tall T which means more color options, softer fabric, slightly looser neckline, and a slimmer fit. Booyah!
A new take on the classic Level 1 script logo graces the front of the shirt, and our custom tags detail the lower left hem.

Interesting stuff.
Good for the sport? Bad? Mixture of the two? Should slopestyle and pipe really be considered as under the Freestyle Skiing umbrella? Who's REALLY going to cash in on this?
The below text pulled from Urtur.com: Today the IOC Executive Board met in Durban, South Africa and has decided to include Ski Slopstyle to the program of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia! IOC President Jacque Rogge and the Executive Board had delayed the addtion of Ski Slopestyle for further review after announcing Ski Halfpipe to the program in April of 2011. After this review Ski Slopestyle moves forward. Freestyle Skiing has seen a 150% increase in its Olympic Sports since the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torino, Italy when only Moguls and Aerials where on the program.

Former standup comic turned action sports photographer Nate Abbott recaps our recent shoot in Breckenridge, CO. Â Check it!
There is a storm brewing in the ski industry and I wonder if I'm getting myself into the middle of a battle between ski movie crews that can only end in an all out SoCal versus Rocky Mountains brawl, the likes of which haven't been seen since the days of Biggie and Tupac?
You see, after spending last week shooting at Keystone with the Poorboyz crew, I made the huge leap, if not geographically, to Breckenridge for a shoot with Level 1 Productions. As I saw the hard stares of the Level 1 crew directed at me, the outsider, and received vaguely threatening Tweets from my former Poorboyz crew, I retreated to a perch high in a moderately unsafe tree, teetering...

Quick backstory on this one- The organizer of the Prince George, BC Eye Trip premiere decided to throw all his profits from the event into a fund to help out Landon, who suffered a spinal cord injury last summer. Â Hearing about this, we added our profits from the event to Landon's fund as well, and the good folks at High Fives took note and decided to get involved. Â They set Landon up with a sit ski, a few trips to Tahoe, and a ton of support to help him along the way towards realizing his goals of skiing in the Olympics in 2014. Â Booyah!

Alright, this sure ain't "Level 1" news, and its not related to skiing at all, but since so many important edits over the past few years have featured some classic Biggie tracks and remixes, this is definitely interesting enough to warrant a 2 minute read.
It's been 14 years since The Notorious B.I.G. (real name: Christopher Wallace) was killed in Los Angeles in a drive-by shooting.
Several probes and investigations have yet to bring the criminal(s) to justice, and fans of the legendary rhymer have been left wondering what has been accomplished by authorities handling the case.
Now, finally, the FBI has released its (heavily redacted) documents on the murder, and several facts were revealed'”one being that the bullets that killed him were rare Gecko 9mm ammunition, made only in Germany and sold Stateside only in California and New Jersey.

My japanese adventure with Level 1 Productions has just come to an end after two weeks of shooting in Hokkaido, the north island of Japan with a great crew consisting of Tanner Rainville, Wiley Miller, Parker White, Jimbo Morgan, Josh Berman and Tatsuya Tayagaki. During the trip we experienced such a variation in snow conditions making decision making tricky at times deciding what zones to head to.

Often best-laid plans fall apart. Especially when you're filming for a ski movie. What started as a pretty simple plan of going with Level 1 Productions to scope some new terrain in northeast Utah ended up getting complicated. We had checked out some maps, rented a cabin and set our sights high. But one day of recon in sub-arctic temperatures and multiple sled wrecks threatened to hamper our optimism. Luckily, our crew -- Level 1's Kyle Decker and Freedle Coty and athletes Chris Logan and Ahmet Dadali -- remained unfazed.

Level 1's favorite urban photog Erik Seo has been pounding the pavement, logging frequent flyer miles, and otherwise chasing snow for the past few months banging out shots across North America with our crews.
From his blog: "Sorry for the lack of updates but it's been a really busy early season for me.  There's been lots of snow in the good ol USA this season so far and because of it, I've been shooting a lot.  Really, a lot.  It's not even the new year, and I've shot more days than I had at the end of February last season!'¦albeit, last season was a really low snow year.  Out of the last 45 days, I've shot 30 of them, traveled on 5 of them, spent 8 of them in front of the computer editing and only 3 of them have been doing...

The final installment of the 5-edit series of Hornbeck's extras, brought to you by Peak/Tyrolia. In this edit Hornbeck throws down on the Mammoth Superpark features, the upbox to re-entry in Sun Valley, and throws some 180 blunts over the Helsinki gap. Out with a BANG!

If you live in North America, at least outside of the Southern states, you've probably witnessed some pretty substantial snowfall over the past few months.
Colorado has been the lucky recipient of a lot of this snow, and this past week was certainly the icing on the cake for an epic early season. Â With nearly 6ft falling in a few of our favorite zones (yeah, good luck finding the snow reports to substantiate this- we're off the map!) over the past week, we've been getting after it. Â Check this frame grab of Duncan Adams getting buried in a pow explosion mid double-stager. Â Get...

This past weekend I headed to my home state of Ohio for the Capital Event put on by Mad River Mountain with Ahmet Dadali. It was a 2 day event with a Level 1/Technine premiere on Friday night and a rail jam and concert on Saturday. The Ohio scene has come a long way since I've moved out west 5 years ago. Ahmet and I were blown away with the number of skiers/snowboarders.
The premiere was located at the Gateway Theater, which is right in the heart of Columbus and is one of the areas premiere theaters. 'Eye Trip' played first followed by 'The Arena'. The dance floor at the after party was converted...

On November, 2nd the Eye Trip finally arrived in Germany. Despite being a weekday and open doors at 10 p.m. an impressive crowd of 150 enthusiastic German Level 1 Fans showed up at the venue. A short movie by German locals called "TwinTips" warmed up the crowd.
After a quick gear raffle the fans turned there heads to the screen to witness some of the finest ski action. A special occasion for Level 1's Art Director Schui Baumann, having the opportunity to present his work on home ground for the first time and to experience the differences yet similarities of the German ski community.
Thanks for all the friends and fans who showed up that night. Looking forward to expand the D.A.F. (German-American-Relationship) over the upcoming years!

Way back in December 2008 we were just getting the ball rolling on shooting for Refresh when Henrik Harlaut, Mike Hornbeck, and Ahmet Dadali rallied out to the midwest with Kyle Decker to take advantage of some early season urban sessions.

One of the most classic, and known to many as "game-changing" segments in the Level 1 library- Dave Crichton's 2-part opening segment from our 2003 release, Forward. Â It still holds up today with hard-charging tech and creative urban, showcasing a deep bag of park jumps and jibs, and MASSIVE pipe airs (long before the advent of the superpipe!). Â This brings back fond memories for all of us- hope it does the same for you!

"... Then came the highlight of the night for many, Level 1 Productions' Eye Trip, which was a concatenation of exhilarating endorphins, meaning, it was sick. With the exception of Jossi Wells, who was enjoying Clapham's local fast food establishments, the crowd sat in merry awe as banger after banger showed up on the screen."
What's up with that Jossi?!?!?!

On Friday we took the Eye Trip World Tour to the jib capital of the midwest, Minesota. The premiere was hosted by Summit Boardshop. If your not familiar with Summit Boardshop, it's a shop that truly 'gets it'. With the increase of internet sales, ski shops have to adapt to embrace the local community and I can't think of a shop that does a better job at this. From an indoor skatepark, foam pit, and rail park out back (with their own rope tow) I quickly relized this wasn't your average ski shop.
After an afternoon of a rail jam out back, everyone rolled into the showroom for the Eye Trip premiere. Before the premiere Mike Hornbeck was there hanging out and even signed a few posters. Mike is putting on a camp & rail at Summit December 30th-January 1st...

Lots of great stories and reports coming in from Eye Trip premieres around the world, though this is probably our favorite so far...
Jason Hamborg set up a premiere in Prince George BC this past weekend.  His original goal was to break even on his investment and if he made a few extra bucks he looked forward to putting the money towards some new gear and a season pass.  He ended up selling out the venue  and would have walked away with a pile of cash, but instead decided to put all his profits towards a sit ski fund set up for Landon McGauley from Quesnel, BC who broke his back in a mountain biking accident this past summer.
Cheers to Jason for finding the BEST way to spend his profits from the premiere, and everyone that came out...

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ski industry icon Warren Miller today released statements addressing the recently completed legal action that his former company, Warren Miller Entertainment (WME) took against him. He also announced the re-launch of the Warren Miller Company, an organization representing his professional and philanthropic interests initially established two decades ago.
'I am reinvigorated and flattered by the outpouring of support from skiers and friends all over the world and can't wait to see everyone again'A Colorado arbitration panel denied WME's claim for breach of contract against Miller, as WME could not prove that Miller's appearance in the Level 1 Productions film, Refresh, caused any harm to WME. The panel reaffirmed that WME owns the rights to Miller's name as it pertains to ski films and magazines, but nothing else. 'As most of you can imagine, I greatly prefer spending time on a...

What's this doing on the Level 1 site?!?!? Alright, we're not all just park rats and jibbers... a lot of the Level 1 crew spends some serious time in the backcountry, and snow safety, awareness, and knowledge is something that everyone needs to be on top of, rookies and seasoned veterans alike!
"This danger scale is the first time that the two countries have used the same scale, and is the result of a multi-year effort by the Canadian Avalanche Centre, Parks Canada, the USDA Forest Service, and the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. The recent proposal by New Zealand's Mountain Safety Centre to use the new scale starting in the 2011 southern hemisphere winter has further increased the international scope of the project."
