Mason Kennedy

Boise, Idaho | Active street skier, filmmaker, coach, and OS Crew co-founder | Public markers: SuperUnknown XVI semi-finalist, SuperUnknown XVIII finalist, Electric director, Magnetic, absORB, VORTEX, Bogus Basin and Egyptian Theatre premieres | Main lane: street skiing, park riding, crew filmmaking

Bogus Basin Snow Trucked Into Boise

The snow did not belong on downtown pavement, but OS Crew made it work anyway. Rails were dragged into place, shovels scraped across asphalt, and a winch pulled skiers toward features that had no connection to a resort map. Mason Kennedy’s skiing comes from that kind of scene: Bogus Basin laps, Boise streets, hand-built run-ins, and a crew willing to turn concrete into a ski spot. His public record is not built on FIS podiums or Olympic starts. It is built on films, local premieres, SuperUnknown recognition, urban rails, and the long-running OS Crew archive he helped create with his brother Justin “Juice” Kennedy.

The Treasure Valley Crew Started In 2007

Bogus Basin’s event page for Electric gives the clearest origin point. Justin and Mason Kennedy started OnSlaught Crew in 2007, when it was still a group of friends making self-branded clothing and skiing at Bogus Basin. The same source frames OS Crew as a Treasure Valley project that grew into a regional brand supporting skiers in a grassroots way. That background matters because Mason Kennedy’s profile is not only athlete-based. He is part of a local ski ecosystem: rider, filmer, organizer, brand-builder, and one of the people who helped give Boise street skiing a public identity.

From Dotty Clark To The Egyptian Screen

The Idaho Statesman adds the first useful film-history chapter. In 2011, the Kennedy brothers submitted a short edit from their 2010-11 season to the Bogus Basin Ski Club Dotty Clark Video Contest. Their edit won, earning a screening before Warren Miller’s Like There’s No Tomorrow at the Egyptian Theatre in Boise. Years later, that same venue became the premiere site for Electric, OS Crew’s 7th ski film. The loop is clean: a local contest edit first put their skiing on the big screen, then the crew returned with a full street-ski movie built around the same hometown audience.

SuperUnknown Gave Him A Wider Stage

Mason’s Level 1 trail is one of the strongest individual markers in his profile. In 2019, Level 1 listed Mason Kennedy among the SuperUnknown XVI semi-finalists, in a contest that drew nearly 100 entries from amateur skiers around the world. Two years later, he appeared on the 2021 SuperUnknown XVIII finalist list at Woodward Eldora, alongside Oscar Weary, Max Siudak, Kyle Coxworth, Matt Martin, Bennie Osnow, Danya Manyak, Luke O’Brien, Chris Bechtold, and Seamus Flanagan. For a street skier outside the classic contest pipeline, SuperUnknown matters because it rewards footage, personality, creativity, and how a skier uses terrain on camera.

Electric Made The Crew Larger Than A Local Edit

Electric is the clearest bridge between OS Crew’s local roots and its broader film identity. iF3 lists Mason Kennedy as director of the 2022 film, with OS Crew as the production. Bogus Basin described the project as the crew’s 7th feature film, made after a season touring around the United States in search of creative street rails. Idaho Statesman coverage said the crew traveled from Boise to Minnesota, spending hours building jumps, runways, and winch-powered setups before trying tricks on rails, cement supports, public sculptures, and other urban features. That process defines Mason’s lane: not one trick, but the full machinery of street skiing.

How Kennedy Uses Urban Terrain

Mason Kennedy’s skiing should be described through street and park language rather than invented signature tricks. His public record points toward rails, wall rides, drops, winch pulls, jumps, flips, spins, concrete landings, hand-built ramps, and features that require imagination before technique. A street skier has to see the spot before it exists. The crew drives past a rail or wall, measures speed, moves snow, shapes a runway, checks the landing, watches security, and repeats the attempt until the clip works. Mason’s value sits in that full process. He is not only riding the feature; he is part of making the feature skiable.

Magnetic And The Eighth OS Movie

Magnetic, published by Downdays in February 2024, placed Mason in the eighth annual OS Crew film. Downdays described OS Crew as one of the most active street-skiing crews of the past decade and listed the riders as Aden Moore, Ian Russell, Audrey Friess, Zac Scheuerman, Josh Karcher, Kyle Johnston, Queso Dubois, Jake Barrett, Ridge Dirksmeier, Aron Bayreuther, Graham Gray, Mason Kennedy, and Juice Kennedy. The film was supported by LINE Skis, Wear Leathers, Roxa Ski Boots, and J Skis. For Mason’s page, Magnetic confirms continuity. OS Crew was not a one-season project; it had become an annual street-film engine.

AbsORB Kept The Annual Machine Running

iF3 lists absORB as OS Crew’s ninth annual film, directed by Justin “Juice” Kennedy and produced by OS Crew. Mason appears in the athlete list beside Kyle Johnston, Jake Barrett, Jake Cress, Josh Karcher, Aden Moore, Emma Jones, Carson Sharp, Julian Gluck, Ian Russell, Keegan O’Brien, Graham Gray, and Juice Kennedy. The film description emphasizes the work behind the piece and the attempt to absorb the good times as they happened. That tone fits OS Crew’s identity. The movies are not polished corporate tours. They are yearly records of travel, crashes, friends, spot building, and the strange satisfaction of getting one difficult street clip.

VORTEX Marked Ten Years Of OS Movies

VORTEX gave OS Crew a milestone. iF3 lists it as the tenth installment in the OS movie collection, with Mason Kennedy among the athletes. Newschoolers’ OS Crew page describes the full film as a mix of street, powder, spring builds, and a private park shoot, supported by J Skis, Dakine, Roxa Boots, DayMaker Touring, and ReWinch. The athlete list includes Mason Kennedy, Kyle Johnston, Trevor Hattabaugh, Ben Moxham, Ian Russell, Graham Gray, Carson Sharp, Anton Holter, Josh Karcher, Jack Feick, Nikolay Dobrianov, Lucas Sizzla, Danner Brummer, Colin Dexter, Nathan Goddard, Chris Colgan, Keegan O’Brien, and Juice Kennedy. Ten annual films give Mason’s profile real weight.

Bogus Basin Still Holds The Center

Local coverage keeps returning to Bogus Basin. Idaho News 6 reported that Justin and Mason grew up skiing and snowboarding there, then took those freestyle skills beyond resort parks into urban spots. The same coverage described OS Crew’s work at the Idaho Potato Drop and its use of shovels, ramps, snow moving, and winch setups to make city features rideable. Bogus Basin also noted that the crew collaborated with Bogus Basin Terrain Parks on The Gathering in February 2022, bringing riders from Southern Idaho and nearby states into one support-driven park event. Mason’s profile stays rooted because the hometown scene keeps appearing.

Support Around Films, Not A Personal Sponsor Myth

Mason’s page should be careful with sponsor language. The reliable public information mostly names project and film supporters rather than a full personal equipment roster. Electric listed film sponsors such as New Schoolers, Bern, J Skis, Northpull, LINE Skis, Syndicate, and Spy Optic. Magnetic listed LINE Skis, Wear Leathers, Roxa Ski Boots, and J Skis. VORTEX listed J Skis, Dakine, Roxa Boots, DayMaker Touring, and ReWinch. Those brands support the OS Crew ecosystem, which is the accurate frame. Without a verified personal sponsor sheet, the page should describe the support around the films instead of assigning every brand directly to Mason.

Where Kennedy Fits On Skipowd.tv

Mason Kennedy fits skipowd.tv as a 3/5 creative street-ski profile. The verified record is strong inside independent freeski culture: OS Crew co-founder, Bogus Basin roots, SuperUnknown XVI semi-finalist, SuperUnknown XVIII finalist, Electric director, Magnetic rider, absORB rider, VORTEX rider, and a decade-long film project with Boise as its base. It is not a 4/5 or 5/5 profile because there are no confirmed X Games medals, Olympic results, World Cup podiums, or major studio film-part awards. The right ending is precise: Mason Kennedy helped turn Boise rails, Bogus Basin laps, and OS Crew persistence into one of American street skiing’s most consistent independent archives.
