Mitch Pittman (USA)

Where did you grow up and where's your home base now?

I live in Seattle WA but I grew up near Raleigh, NC.

Your favorite mountains?

Japan and Switzerland are incredible but there's nothing like skiing down the side of a giant volcano here in Washington.

Your home ski area?

Crystal Mountain

What was your first experience with skis?

Growing up in the southern U.S., I didn't really get to ski until I moved to Vermont after college. I taught myself on those icy slopes but really fell in love once I started taking ski trips out west with friends.

What are your favorite sports/hobby/activities?

I enjoy skiing in resorts but my real love lives in the backcountry. In the summer I enjoy mountaineering and backpacking in the Cascades but I'm also fortunate that the ski season never stops here in the Pacific Northwest and I have skied every month for more than seven years.

Why Majesty?

I love Majesty because freeriding is in their DNA. They're designed by people who love doing the same type of skiing I do and strike the perfect balance between weight and power for what I need.

How long have you been with Majesty?

I've been skiing Majesty skis for four seasons now.

Any cool accomplishments with Majesty so far?

Many great days in the mountains! I've used them to ski off the summits of four of the five volcanoes in Washington.

What are your future plans with Majesty?

More great ski seasons and plan to get Mt. Rainier in the spring.
