Giving Flowers #7 Pep Fujas

Eric Iberg and Phil Casabon giving flowers to Pep Fujas

Our guest today is a visionary. His whole hearted commitment on and off snow has repeatedly elevated skiing to a new plateau.

His video part in Session 1242 is a game changer—like checker to chess. Fact is, some even confessed, it caused them to quit.

His first ever pro model ski, the Fujative, ran more numbers then the matrix.

He is a vital piece to the trinity of your favorite skier’s favorite ski movie—IDEA. He popularized no pole skiing and broke convention on the biggest stage by competing with no poles at X-games with Andy Mahre. There's a research team on retainer searching for the runs, to this day. It's like a unicorn.

His style is thorough - He moves with intent. I cannot overstate his impact on the culture and on my behalf. We're privileged to have this man join us. Today we give flowers to no other then @pepfujas

The cast of skiers that featured in this production company since its inception is to skiing what marvel is to superhero films

He gave unknown skiers a platform to rocket launch their career into space – turning some into superstars.

I grew up devouring their flicks before skiing, not food. Now their menu counts 20 different meals of the finest cuisine. Plus three appetizers, three michelin stars certified.

It’s time we give flowers to none other than the founder of Level 1 productions - Josh Berman
