A Word From Matt Coté

I’m currently a contributing editor at Forecast Ski Magazine, a senior writer at Kootenay Mountain Culture Magazine (where I was formerly managing editor), and I used to be a senior editor and senior writer at Bike and Beta magazines, before their respective untimely demises at the hands of corporate miscreants.

Before becoming a full-time writer I was a flailing competitive freeskier in my 20s. I’m now learning to love cross-country mountain bike races in my 40s. My dad owned a ski shop when I was a kid and I’ve never stopped obsessing about gear.

I think tiny homes are stupid, and I’m a virgo (whatever that means).
