The Orange Hunting Suit Guy: Curtis Bolduc

2005-2006 and 15 years old:

Where are you now?

How old are you now?Right now Im in Somerville mass, just outside of Boston.

I like it here, a bit more going on than the middle of nowhere Maine.

And as for the age, I turn 26 in August.

If I went back 10 years and told me younger self this, I would be bitch slapped.

However I have different ambitions now.

It doesn’t help that I almost never take full days off.

More like simple/fun Urban.

So instead of following everyone elses path and paying over 400$ for outerwear.

I picked up an on sale 25$ ridiculous orange camo suit and bought new skis.

I ended up doing a little bit of both haha.

People remembered me for the suit way more than I could have expected.

I miss it more than anything!

I knew if I wanted to have any presence in the industry, even if just a little.

It had to be online.

I think the solidarity helped me really dig into the online culture of skiing.

It was always eye opening to go out west, mainly because I couldn’t believe the conditions.

I thought it was normal to have 34 of the ski season be sheer ice.

I remember posting edits on putfile before YouTube was even around…

It was always a goal to get feedback on my edits.

And well actually just more content in general!

And some I just enjoy.

My favorite edits are those that accomplish one of two things.

Show me what the personality of the skier is.

Example Lars Tynes new edit or keegan kilbrides recently have got me really hyped.

They were the kids that were undoubtedly the best at the mountain at the time.

I decided to take one hit then call it quits just so I didn’t get ridiculed.

After that hit a boost of confidence came over me I didn’t know existed.

My second hit I did switch 2 on being the first to spin on.

Later during the jam I was trying switch 4s onto a rail I was afraid to slide.

I ended up winning that rail jam, and I wasn’t looked at as such a joke anymore.
