Zig Zag
Zig Zag. 1. a pattern created using alternating course. 2. another word for skiing. Following nearly two decades of ski movie pedigree, Level 1 brings out the heaviest cast and crew yet for our 19th annual feature film. Follow us around the globe, to the far reaches of Russia, Japan, British Columbia, Switzerland, Scandinavia, the Western US, and everywhere in between as we document 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
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 ski 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.
