Matt Mitchell

Living in New Jersey, Matt Mitchell called Brew Moscarello at Burton seeking a job building boards. Moscarello steered him towards Rueck who had “only five full time instructors." Mitchell dropped everything, found a ride to Vermont and “showed up, no driver's license because it was suspended, on her doorstep with a suitcase, a Nordica boot bag and a board bag.” The ensuing conversation went along the lines “I'm here for the job” ... “You don't have the job, you have to try out" ... "No, I'm here for the job." Rueck brought Mitchell on, and she “made a deal with me, if I work every day during the week, I could race on the weekends.” While the Allegro program served as feeding system for racing, "a lot of them were kids … they needed basic snowboarding skills even more than racing skills"
