The Masquerade is a conceptual freeski movie by Super Proof Inc., directed by Leigh Powis and starring Sean Pettit. It blends high-level backcountry skiing in Alaska with an eccentric “thriller” storyline, featuring a plot about five skiers scamming the industry, set in Whistler, BC. The film is known for its artistic, slightly bizarre, Lynchian style, mixing intense ski action with dramatic, almost abstract, narrative scenes.
Callum Pettit’s early life was spent in the shadows of his little brother’s pro ski career. While the brothers were a package deal for sponsors, Sean Pettit was the draw. Eventually, Cal and Sean’s sponsorship paths went separate ways, which left Cal figuring out what was next…..Which was new sponsors and a blue collar career compared to Sean’s white collar lifestyle. Throughout it all, there was never any drama between Cal and Sean and it’s cool to hear the story from both sides. This podcast is Cal’s version.

Back in Whistler, the pressure is on for Groovemeister to find his professional sport. Sean & Callum push him to take his skiing next level – with a backflip. Though his pro athlete dreams may not have a bright future, his culinary future does. With a successful film season in the can, the Superproof team celebrates at the opening of Groove’s new restaurant – Legs Diamond.
In 2003, 11-year-old Sean Pettit burst onto the freeskiing scene. By the age of 18 Pettit was already considered to be one of the best skiers in the world. His ability to blend huge, jaw dropping lines with innovative new school style set Sean apart as the torch bearer for the future of big mountain skiing. Now, after a full season on the sidelines recovering from an ankle injury in Winter 2013/2014, Sean is back on track and ready to rock with what is perhaps his most prolific season ever. Not only did Sean produce the award-winning Superproof film, The Masquerade and film a part for ESPN X Games “”Real Ski” competition, he is the star of the latest Red Bull TV’s original series “”Keep Your Tips Up.””
Sean Pettit attends the Powder Awards and gears up for the first winter session of the season at Whistler, Canada, joined by snowboarders Mikey Rencz, Eero Niemela, and Iikka Backstrom. The Groovemeister begins his new career as a restaurant owner.
Sean Pettit kicks off a new season at the 16th Annual Powder Awards, but that’s only the beginning. From there, Sean, Callum, the Groovemeister, and plenty of friends embark on a whole new set of snow-filled adventures through Canada and Europe.
