If there’s anything that we can say for certain after spending the past few weeks reviewing this year’s SuperUnknown entries, its that the talent pool has never been deeper- there’s more variation in style, influence, and inspiration than ever before.
SuperUnknown XVII 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 Semi-Finalists and Finalists that we stand behind.
First off, based on the strength of this year’s Women’s entries we’re excited to announce that we are nominating 2 Finalists, and adding a 3rd Women’s spot in the Finals through the Wildcard poll! The eventual winner of this year’s Women’s SuperUnknown category will be determined at the end of the week of shooting at Carinthia at Mount Snow!
We have also, as in the past, named 16 Men's Semi-Finalists, and 9 Finalists. One of the 16 Semi-Finalists will be joining the Finalists as the winner of the Men’s Wildcard Poll.
Help us decide the Wildcard Poll spots for the SuperUnknown XVII Finals! Polls are open from Friday March 13th until March 20th 12pm MST.
Help us decide who should take the 10th Men’s and 3rd Women's spot in the Finals- its up to YOU to decide! Give each of the Semi-Finalists a watch and vote for your favorite to join the other Finalists and our crew at Carinthia at Mount Snow from April 6-12th for a shot at the title! The Wildcard Poll is open from March 13th until March 20th 12pm (MST)- spread the word and vote once each day.
