From the beginning, Mountain Hardwear has sponsored athletes that are passionate,
ambitious and push the boundaries of the unexplored. These athletes dedicate themselves

For those who have passed away pursuing their passion, we dedicate this page to them. We
are privileged to have worked and played with these athletes, and to have shared in their gifts.
