Donny Pelletier has garnered quite the following on the internet (despite him claiming that he doesn’t use the internet). Ask anyone in the Pine Tree State about the man and they’ll likely tell you about how much they idolize him or about that one time they spotted him ripping down White Heat at Sunday River. He’s one of the biggest legends the state has ever produced, and NEWS CENTER Maine spent the day with him to see what it’s really like in a day in the life of Maine’s Finest Athlete.
This is a pretty wholesome story, but it quickly becomes pretty hilarious when you realize that Donny Pelletier is a character created by 2018 Olympic mogul skier Troy Murphy, a truly stellar athlete in his own right. Presumably NEWS CENTER knows that Troy is behind the Donny character, but they still chose to go along and treat him like a 100% real person, and it totally rules.
