Professional Freeskier/ B.A.S.E. Jumper
Matthias Giraud is living the dream. In early 2008 he nailed the first-ever ski-BASE jump off Mount Hood in Oregon. Within minutes, he was all over the internet and mainstream media, even showing up on "Good Morning America." While his superstar BASE career is just getting stared, Matthias has been flying on snow for more than 20 years. Born in France, he's lived in the U.S. for years, competing in big mountain and freestyle ski events and holding his own with the world's best in steep, nasty conditions. He's scored the cover of Ski Magazine and works with photographers all over the planet.
What Matthias says about ALINE
"With my medical past (2 ACLs, 3 meniscus, 1 micro fracture on femur, 1 tibia plateau, 4 sternums, and compressed discs in my back) and the sports I take part in, ALINE is a vital product. I wear them in all my shoes...hiking, BASE jumping and of course big mountain skiing. Life is so much better with ALINE!"
