Our own Buttermilk-Aspen-Snowmass-Copper superstar, Hunter Maytin, is headed towards the Olympics, with our help, to bring home the Gold! Hunter is a natural-born halfpipe skier. Growing up across the street from Olympic Training, he has wax in place of blood!

Hamilton Sports of Aspen is a long-term key sponsor for Hunter’s Olympic efforts, hopes, and actions. We all thank them and ask that you join the growing list of supporters. No dollars, no Daffy’s!

The hard numbers are a challenge for all of us. While his progress onto the US Olympic Team will reduce his out-of-pocket costs, he is currently (supported by his parents working three jobs for two people) paying the $60,000 a year for training, etc.  Hamilton Sports is providing significant support, as is the Magic Valley and beyond. We thank you all, and most important, HUNTER THANKS YOU ALL!!! He’s doing his part, which is basically skiing the crap out of the boards.

Meet Hunter Maytin

Growing up across the street from the world-renowned X Games Superpipe at Buttermilk Mountain, Hunter’s passion for freestyle skiing took root at an early age.  With the guidance of his coaches at the Aspen Valley Ski Club and the support of his family and our Community, Hunter found his true calling as a halfpipe skier. He needs financial help to get to the next level.

Hunter’s dream is to represent the United States and Aspen at the Olympics and at Winter X Games. Hunter’s journey has already included experiences, such as forerunning the X Games at 11 years old and placing 5th in halfpipe at the 2023 Youth Olympic Games in South Korea at the age of 15.  Hunter’s future is bright and his passion is even brighter.

The Challenge Ahead

The road ahead is challenging. Hunter relies on the financial support of his parents, who work three jobs between them to help fund his dreams.  He could not compete without the generosity of sponsors who provide equipment and tuning.  A career in skiing halfpipe is costly.

We want Hunter to focus on what he loves to do and is good at and not worry about anything that could hold him back.

The annual training, coaching, travel, and lodging expenses amount to more than $60,000.  While being a part of the US Ski Team will alleviate some costs, Hunter is not yet there and needs your support to continue his journey.
