    Release date: Fall 2006

    Directed by: Josh Berman

    Telling a tale of six months of sun, snow, and rain, over a dozen of skiing’s most talented athletes, hundreds of thousands of miles traveled, tens of thousands of vertical feet hiked, hundreds of quarts of 2-stroke snowmobile oil, a dozen speeding tickets and at least as many missed connecting flights, this year’s Level 1 film is indeed a VERY long story, short. Shot in high-definition across the frozen globe, from remote powder stashes of Hokkaido, Japan, to the bent metal and concrete of the East Coast of North America, and the fabled kicker zones of Austria, and everywhere in between. Level 1 furthers their innovative vision of skiing, continuing their tradition of captivating cinematography, inspired features and locations, and mindblowing skiing exploits in what will be THE story of the ’06 ski season.

  • Turbo

    Release date: Fall 2008

    Directed by: Josh Berman

    Produced by: Level 1 Productions

    Skiers: Tom Wallisch, Ahmet Dadali, Mike Hornbeck, JF Houle, Tanner Rainville, Stefan Thomas, Wiley Miller, Steele Spence, Justin Dorey, Mike Riddle, Duncan Adams, Adam Delorme, Corey Vanular, Josh Bibby, Will Wesson, Travis Redd, Liam Downey, Mike Clarke

    Turbo will not give your car an extra power boost or shave seconds off your quarter mile- but it might, just might, change the way you think about skiing. Turning it up a notch once again Level 1 followed their crew of dedicated skiers throughout North America in the unforgettable season of 2008. Tom Wallisch, Ahmet Dadali, Mike Hornbeck, and JF Houle get down to business with urban adventures across the Midwest and Quebec, redefining technical jibbing, and setting a new bar on what’s possible. Tanner Rainville, Stefan Thomas, Wiley Miller, and Steele Spence shred neck deep pow and bring their brand of freestyle to technical terrain – from minigolf in Wyoming to the real big mountain arena of Alaska, and everything in between. Justin Dorey, Mike Riddle, Duncan Adams, and Adam Delorme steal the show at Level 1′s trademark parkshoot progression sessions, boosting the biggest features this side of the Atlantic. Also featuring the jumping and jibbing talents of Corey Vanular, Josh Bibby, Will Wesson, Travis Redd, Liam Downey, and Mike Clarke. All shot in HD with the mind-blowing and award-winning cinematography you’ve come to expect from Level 1. This is Turbo.

    Hey Bro, Hope everything is going well back home. We just got back from Iceland and our trip was really sick!! Everybody skied super well. Our winter was really good. We spent time in Salt Lake City with Charles Gagnier and Thomas Rinfret. Charles did the craziest urban in SLC. Our filmers were all over the place this year. From Mammoth to Quebec with a little pit stop in France with TJ Schiller and Iannick B. In March we got around to doing some sledding around Tahoe with Larose, got some really nice shots up there! And of course we have some really good pipe action from Belanger. Unfortunately you know he hurt himself, but his segment still looks amazing. Ohh!! I forgot Sarah. She worked so hard to film with us this winter, hope she can win the best female segment again. Our editing is almost done and it?s off the hook, I think it’s going to blow your mind. That’s all for now, but I?ll send you a copy ASAP. Thanks, Chuck
