In August, 2005, Matt fell during a training run in Chile while practicing for the upcoming season. He shattered his left leg into 7 fragments. As of Nov. 2006 he is on the comeback trail after 3 surgeries. He's working hard on his rehab and returned to Chile in August 2006. He's now working out with Daron Rahlves (recently retired from the World Cup and back in Truckee, California) in an effort to return to form for the 06-07 season after missing a year on the circuit.

  • i'm 90% sure that this wouldn't have happened if there wasn't so much snow on the coarse :/ You can see when the inner ski gets stuck in snow so he lost balance on both skis and fell. Once happened to me but not nearly as hard as that...

  • el colorado?

  • wow

  • Sucks that you missed the next season too. :p

  • oww
