Who’s Matty B, you ask?
Matty is a badass skier who helped pioneer the newschool movement, a business dude who launched one of freeskiing’s earliest rebel clothing brands while still in high school, a vocal leader of the LGBTQ+ ski community, and the most relentless, creative, and hilarious entrepreneur I know!
The base graphic came from a sticker that Matty printed and gave me a few years ago, which I’ve kept on my desk ever since. It simply said, “I am a gay skier” and was a genius play on the original “I am a skier” shirt that I made for Line back in the day. He’s a creative wizard, always making things his own, so it was fitting to put the words from the sticker loud and proud across the base of his ski.
Matty explains his inspiration for the topsheet graphic: “Winter Rendezvous Gay Ski Week at Stowe is always one of my favorite events of the year! I love the feeling of the community, everyone showing up exactly how they want to show up, how they want to be represented. This graphic is the embodiment of all of those different personalities within the LGBTQ+ and ski communities. If you look closely, you’ll see me with my best straight ally Joe Tyson, my partner Randy, and tons of other people and memories from the event over the years.”
We’re only making 200 pairs of this Limited Edition ski and just a few dozen “I am a Gay Skier” tees to go along with it. I hand-signed and numbered each pair, so you’ll be rocking a ski like no one else on the hill! Remember that Matty isn’t the only gay skier on the mountain, so if you want to ride a pair, make sure you order ASAP before they’re gone!
Watch this video to hear more from Matty about his experience creating his legendary “EC Headwear” brand at 13 years old, sponsoring Tom Wallisch while in college, his motivations for coming out, and his unique view of the world that keeps him loving life. Matty and I had such a fun time creating this ski, and our conversation in the video goes deeper into the process.
Follow @mattbenedetto to get the inside scoop on his personal life. To see his current evil genius entrepreneurial project, follow @unecessaryinventions.
In support of Pride and this collaboration with Matty, we’re donating $5,000 regardless of sales of this product to “Outright VT” who’s mission is building a Vermont where all LGBTQ+ youth have hope, equity, and power.

The Allplay™
122 -

- 118
A true "Goldilocks" ski that floats in boot-deep powder without sacrificing precise carvability for a uniquely surfy, yet trustworthy feel.
J skis was founded on the philosophy that there’s always room to improve, so J team rider and lead ski engineer Giray Dadali spent two years on a mission to expand “The Allplay’s” legendary, playful feel into an even more fun experience when carving around the mountain. This secret new recipe incorporates a tighter sidecut geometry, refined rocker profile, and a slightly narrower 97mm waist working in unison with its legendary “deep flex.” This magical new design will launch you into carves easier, grip stronger, butter longer, and slash smoother than any ski you’ve ever ridden before. The catch-free tips guarantee an effortless and forgiving feel, so you can surf freely without worrying about catching an edge again. The GOAT maintains its one-of-a-kind flex we all love, flexing deeeeep underfoot to arc turns and give a true butter like you’ve never felt before. You’ll go from killing corduroy, to snaking tight trees, to busting 3-swaps like Sam Zahner all in the same run! Everywhere on the mountain these new and improved skis are guaranteed to be no work… ALL PLAY!

Butters, slashes and presses feel natural on The Allplay thanks to its softer, yet intuitive, consistent flex pattern.
- Blister Gear Review
An absolute joy to ride; don't think, just play.
- Freeskier Magazine
A fun and playful ski that's at home carving, buttering and slashing soft snow.
- Backcountry Magazine
If 'Funskiing' were a test category, these would be at the top of the list.
- Powder Magazine
I’ve skied on dozens of skis and I could tell within 2 runs these were going to be great fun and easy to get along with.
