MEET THE ATHLETE: ITI350 LEAD SKIER MATHIEU BONNIER

Mathieu Bonnier, the lead skier in the 350 race arrived late last night in Nikolai. He ate well and rested for his final push up to McGrath. 
We caught up with him as he left Nikolai this morning.

To put it into context, Mathieu who is 62, has a few extreme racing events under his belt.
He has finished the ITI ski race in 1998 and 2000, he's competed in the Arrowhead Ultra, Tuscobia Winter Ultra 160, White Mountains 100 and MYAU2015 430 to name few.

And if that was not enough, the Frenchman from the Alpine Isère area is also an experienced rower who crossed both the Atlantic and the Nortwest Passage solo.

Awe-inspiring? You bet.

Allez Mathieu!
