SuperUnknown 21 pulled in entries from talented amateurs around the globe- each entrant displaying their own unique take on skiing- some street, some park, some pow, and some a mix of everything. Figuring out how to compare and judge one against the next continues to be a huge challenge and while we can’t say that we have the perfect formula, after spending countless hours consulting with athletes, media, and the Level 1 staff and rewatching most of these entries more times than we can count we have a list of Finalists that we stand behind.
A lot has changed since we kicked off SuperUnknown back in 2003. Skiing has come a long way- style, technicality, and creativity has changed, developed, and progressed so far beyond what we could ever have imagined and it’s safe to say that tricks are officially at video-game levels.
The landscape of competition, the internet, and video parts is barely recognizable compared to what it once was- but the one constant is that there’s always a crop of talented amateurs around the globe poised for a breakout, and they’re able to use SuperUnknown to take that next step!
We’re excited to announce this year’s crop of Finalists who will join us at Mammoth Mountain from April 18th through April 24th, including 10 Men and 6 Women. After a week of shredding and shooting, they’ll cast their votes for the winners of the 21st SuperUnknown!
Level 1 has been documenting skiing since 1999 through feature-length films, event experiences, and short movies and edits. We're a family of talented filmmakers, athletes, and designers, trekking the globe to capture compelling images of the best skiing action, cutting it up and delivering premium content to your screen! We’re all passionate about what we do – determined to stay true to our vision through the media we produce and the merchandise we put the Level 1 stamp on.
