A stoked Level 1 Ladies Rail Jam

Posted

Based in Denver, Level 1 production company was conceived in 1999 to document the rise of freestyle skiing. A family of talented filmmakers, athletes, photographers, and designers, they trek the globe to capture compelling images of the best skiing action, delivering premium content and stories to the big screen, TV, and the internet.

Their latest endeavor was filmed on March 10, documenting the Level 1 Ladies Rail Jam at Eldora Mountain Resort.

Forty women ages 13 and above had signed up for the opportunity to showcase their skills and compete for over $2,000 in cash and prizes. A compelling course had been laid out next to Timbers Lodge that included four different rails, with challenging jumps and features. Spectators encircled the area in anticipation of the action.

The athletes had three rounds to execute their best tricks. Interspersed among the bunny hops, lip slides, 270 ins, and Ollie outs, were front flips with big air. Their impressive talent equaled the skillsets seen at men’s competitions.

First-place, a swag bag, and $500 was awarded to Alexis Keeney in the Ski category. Lauren Gretz took top honors, a swag bag, and $500 home in the Snowboard designation. Laney Steen (Ski) and Alex Kochner (Snowboard) landed in the money with their second-place finishes. Cash was also handed out for the Stoke Award; skier Aleah Martinez and snowboarder Kayla Reiss were voted as the “most stoked.”
