Where do you live? Where do you come from?

MATT APPLEFORD

I live in Granby, Colorado.

MAJESTY

Favorite mountains.

MATT APPLEFORD

I have a few! My favorite resort in Colorado is Telluride and now I have a soft spot for Granby Ranch as I live there. Internationally, I love traveling to Japan for the quality and abundance of the snow, Gulmarg in Kashmir for the amazing lift-accessible terrain, Georgia is amazing and I love going to my favorite resort in Chile in the summertime because it's great to beat the heat and the skiing and food are amazing.

MAJESTY

Your first experience with skis.

MATT APPLEFORD

My very first time was when I was 8 or 9 on a plastic dry slope at the Loch Rannoch holiday resort in the Scottish Highlands. I loved it so much that we started skiing on snow the next year and we would go every winter to Aviemore and the Cairngorm mountains and sometimes the Lecht and Aonoch Mor ski areas.

MAJESTY

Why Majesty?

MATT APPLEFORD

I've been an ambassador for many brands over the 20 years I've been involved with the industry. I was attracted to Majesty because they had a reputation for making high-quality freeride skis. Their designs are driven by rider input and are performance orientated. I was excited to ski for a brand new to the US market so I could have more impact in helping market the brand

MAJESTY

For how long are you with Majesty?

MATT APPLEFORD

This will be my second season with Majesty.

MAJESTY

What are you achievements with Majesty so far?

MATT APPLEFORD

Most of my exposure of the brand is to my clients for The Adventure Project during our trips and at the resort I am working for.

MAJESTY

What do you want to achieve with Majesty?

MATT APPLEFORD

I'd like help grow the brand here in the US. I am hoping to re-start my business and start to run our trips around the world again as soon as possible.
