The North Face signs Snowboarder Mitch Brown

The North Face, the world's premier supplier of authentic, innovative, and technically advanced outdoor apparel, equipment, and footwear, today announced the sponsorship of New Zealand snowboarder Mitch Brown.

Mitch is an extremely talented and well respected rider that dominates both pipe and park. He also embodies the Never Stop Exploring motto with his energy and enthusiasm and is looking forward to a few missions in the backcountry with The North Face.

Marketing & Sponsorship Manager Christopher Sharland believes Mitch Brown will make a great asset to The North Face team:

The North Face has been so well represented by our forward facing freeski rippers we figured it was about time we got some solid sideways standing riders on the team to give them a run for their money!

Mitch competed in the mens pipe in the 2006 & 2010 winter Olympics. Recently recovered from an ankle injury, the 24 year old Kiwi is on track to represent New Zealand yet again in the 2014 winter Olympics at peak fitness levels.

Currently in Colorado training then onto Norway to compete in the TTR World Champs, Mitch is pumped to be working with The North Face;

"I am stoked to be on board with such a quality company and solid brand. Definitely looking forward to working more closely with The North Face!"

For over 30 years The North Face has teamed up with the world's finest mountaineers, alpinists, climbers, skiers, snowboarders and endurance adventurers who have defined the limits of what is humanly possible. The North Face Athlete Team works closely with Research, Design & Development, creating innovative designs that push new technologies and inspire cutting-edge products. These new designs are tested in the harshest weather conditions in the world ensuring quality products for our customers. Our team of athletes will continue to pursue adventures in remote regions of the world testing their personal limits and the limits of their gear.
