If there’s anything that we can say for certain after spending the past few days 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 XVIII 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.

Unfortunately, due to timeframe complications from Covid-19, we won’t be able to have a Wild-card vote for the Semi-Finalists like we normally do. We’re bummed about this but it is what it is. We will be launching a “Best Trick” poll soon that includes shots from the entire field - keep an eye out for that!
This year we've picked 12 Men's Semi-Finalists and 5 Women's Semi-Finalists. The "Private" videos will become available during the week. Stay tuned!
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.
