PORTLAND, Maine — Editor's note: The video above aired in August 2023.
There are few higher honors in skiing than being featured in a Warren Miller movie, and Maine's finest athlete, Donny Pelletier, has done just that.
In this year's film, titled "ALL TIME," Donny is paired up with freestyle skier Jonny Moseley, who's also the current narrator of Warren Miller films. The Warren Miller Entertainment YouTube channel describes the pairing as "absolute gold."
"Jonny Moseley may be a legend in the Warren Miller archive, but have you met Donny Pelletier? Maine's finest athlete, Donny is a new kind of legend," the Warren Miller website reads. "But don't tell Jonny that. Watch what happens when Jonny and Donny go head to head on the slope."
Warren Miller Entertainment posted the following Q&A with Donny on its website, giving further proof that Donny is truly a man after Mainers' hearts:
