Long Story Short

Telling the story of six months of sun, snow, and rain, this year’s Level 1 film features over a dozen of skiing’s most talented athletes. The production involved 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. Shot in high-definition across the frozen globe, the film captures the remote powder stashes of Hokkaido, Japan, the bent metal and concrete of the East Coast of North America, and the fabled kicker zones of Austria, among other locations. 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 2006 ski season.
