  • Zig Zag

    Release date: Fall 2018

    Produced by: Level 1 Productions

    Directed by: Josh Berman, Freedle Coty

    Skiers: Parker White, Laurent De Martin, Sämi Ortlieb, Chris Logan, Will Berman, Keegan Kilbride, Will Wesson, Thayne Rich, Peyben Hägglund, KC Deane, LJ Strenio, Khai Krepela, Kim Boberg, Oliver Karlberg, Tanner Rainville, Duncan Adams, Ahmet Dadali, McRae Williams

    Zigzag.

    1. a pattern created using alternating course.
    2. another word for skiing.

    Following nearly two decades of ski movie pedigree, Level 1 documents a lifestyle of contradiction. Timeless ephemera. Love and money. Natural and synthetic. Powder and slush. Stagnant and innovative. Untracked and well-travelled. Consistent but not predictable. Swerving left, right and diagonal, yet never asleep at the wheel. 

  • Habit

    Release date: Fall 2017

    Produced by: Level 1 Productions

    Directed by: Josh Berman, Freedle Coty, Jonny Durst

    Skiers: Keegan Kilbride, Tatum Monod, Laurent De Martin, Sämi Ortlieb, Wiley Miller, Will Wesson, Khai Krepela, Thayne Rich, LJ Strenio, Rob Heule, Will Berman, Ethan Swadburg, Ben Smith, KC Deane, McRae Williams, Noah Albaladejo, Oliver Karlberg

    There are as many paths as there are people. Some choose to be carpet salesman, others choose to be skiers. These behaviors are part of life’s routine, and consciously or not, we’re all slaves to it somehow. But you can’t have the result without the process- you must get up to go down. Let this be your field guide to the minutia, the frivolities and of course the addiction to pure, uncut, freedom. Go ahead, scratch that itch. Because after all, we are creatures of HABIT.

  • Small World

    Release date: Fall 2015

    Produced by: Level 1 Productions

    Directed by: Josh Berman

    Skiers: Will Wesson, Tatum Monod, Sämi Ortlieb, Will Berman, Mitchell Brower, LJ Strenio, Shay Lee, Sandy Boville, Khai Krepela, Noah Albaladejo, Wiley Miller, Tanner Rainville, Duncan Adams, McRae Williams

    Go out into the world, they say… see it for yourself!
    But in an age where any destination is in the palm of your hand- just a click away, what is left to truly explore? Level 1 examines the universal dialect of moving down snow on two feet through a lens of fresh perspective- documenting the outer niches of a sport pushed under the rug by the modern day ski zeitgeist.
    From the secret valleys of Switzerland, the ancient cities of Estonia, to the rowdy rope-tows of Minnesota- follow us around the globe as we capture skiing in its purest form. It’s a Small World, after all.
