Matt Margetts

Location: Penticton
Born: 01/15/1988
Sport:  Freestyle Halfpipe

Born in Victoria, Matt Margetts chose skiing over hockey at 6 and joined the Apex Freestyle Club at 13. At 16 in the US Open in Vail, he suffered a massive injury. But after surgery and six months of rehab he was back on the snow. When not skiing, he’s watching the Canucks. Matt cites Josh Dueck as the person who’s had the biggest impact on his life. Fun guy, he forgot to do up his boots at the Grand Prix finals last year. Buckle up, Matt.
