Sponsors

Matt would like to thank his sponsors for all their support.  Between epic training adventures and races Matt hammers on his gear.  So if it's not the best, they aren't a sponsor.  These great companies make it all possible and coaching clients get exclusive access to try these products.

Backcountry.com - Gear
Matt is a gear consumer. He gobbles it up. Backcountry.com is the leading online retailer of outdoor gear in the world, so needless to say they have all the best gear. The online chat service and relevant product reviews make it a one stop shop for online gear purchases. What's most impressive to Matt is that their offices are filled with athletes. The employees at Backcountry.com get out into the backcountry and actually use the products they sell. This is how they know what works and what doesn't.

Matt just bought his new ski gear at Backcountry.com - K2 Coomba Ski , Black Diamond Ascension Skins and Dynafit Bindings.
