Maine's Finest Athlete Blasts Through Mogul Field During Blistering Run

Pelletier has mastered the art of skiing poorly really, really well.

That's the greatest bit of the gag that is "Maine's Finest Athlete." Pelletier, who moonlights as some guy named Troy Murphy (Murphy is an incredibly talented Olympic-caliber mogul skier), could've saved loads of energy by zippering this mogul field with perfect form, but that wouldn't be his style.

Murphy's been spotted recently at Palisades Tahoe, California, taking advantage of the now on-tap prime powder skiing conditions.

While he looks at home riding spines, I can't imagine that he—nor Pelletier—can forget their roots: a good old-fashioned mogul run at Sunday River.

Watching Murphy ski makes me hope for a Pelletier video that slightly flips the script. In this imagined video, Pelletier would run his usual bit, skiing for the laughs, before "turning it on" and showcasing what he's really capable of. I don't know about you, but I think the people deserve a video of Donny Pelletier lacing a cork 720.
