    Skiers: Kye Petersen, Cam Riley, Thayne Rich, Wiley Miller, Eric Hjorleifson, David Wise

    The magic feet, the long shoes, the slippery sticks we manufacture then bolt, strap and heli-coil ourselves onto. These are the peacemakers of humanity and mother nature. Without them, we have limitations, with them, we have none. Newcomer urban skier Cam Riley joins the likes of Kye Petersen, Wiley Miller, David Wise, Eric Hjorleifson and Thayne Rich in 4FRNT’s 5th annual feature team film, Shaping Skiing.

    4FRNT’s 6th team movie theme is centered on a world where nearly everyone’s heads are buried in a mobile device and friendships and interactions between humans are dwindling. People would rather live through the Internet than spend actual quality time outside with real people.

    Roadside camping in AK with Wiley Miller, Hoji checks in from a snowcave somewhere in BC, Cam Riley double kinks his way into oncoming traffic, David Wise breaks a World Record, Eirik Finseth hit ludicrous speed in Norway and Thayne Rich proves he’s the next big thing in skiing.

With twenty years in the rearview mirror it still stands true- new things never get old. Romance, the final chapter of annual films by Level 1, captures a modern-day Golden Age in skiing. Featuring a generation of talent that came of age in the best time to ever do it. Tweaking the formula, tweaking the grab, and in it for nothing but the love.

  • 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.

    It feels good. Slamming into concrete walls, risking the backcountry unknown, being broke on the road… Some would call it hedonistic behavior, we call it living the dream, and this cast of characters delivers a vibrant depiction of this so-called sport of skiing. With a local tourist mentality, the simple joys are found near and far. From India, Switzerland and Japan, to British Columbia, Washington DC, and Alaska, it’s business in the front, party in the back, and no one is phoning it in. Level 1 continues to surprise with another must watch ski film in a lineage of classics, for your viewing PLEASURE.
