DONNY PELLETIER
Hailing from the rugged slopes of Maine, Donny Pelletier is the self-proclaimed best skier at any mountain—especially now that he’s officially a Palisades Tahoe-sponsored athlete (his words, not ours). A 2023 Pain McShlonkey Classic & three-time (unverified) Bust n Burn Mogul Champ, Donny brings his signature aggressive ski stance (lean back, send it), questionable backflips, and unmatched confidence to the legendary terrain of Palisades Tahoe.
When he’s not terrorizing lift lines or critiquing “fancy-pants racers,” you’ll find him double-fisting Moxie's, sharpening his edges to an unnecessary degree, and proving that East Coast ice breeds unshakable talent—even if it occasionally ends in a yard sale. rich-text, responsive-table
