Josh Matta

Josh Matta started skiing at the tiny hamlet of Hidden Valley, Pa just outside of Pittsburgh, Pa .(go STILLERS!!) He then spent some time honing his powder skills at Snowbird, Utah. Since everyone else on unofficialnetworks seems to leave Vermont, Josh naturally moved to Stowe, Vt to pick up all the powder they left behind and post on unofficialnetworks.com about the slayage.
