Run
Skiing has always been a part of Wiley's life and something he has focused on more than anything. His unique and creative skiing, mixed with challenging features in the backcountry has developed into his signature style, smooth and effortless. Wiley loves to produce film projects to reflect the creative style that drives him to be in the mountains everyday. In 2023, Wiley finally skied the line he had been eyeing since 2019, which eventually turned in to the
film “Run”.

What is on Wiley’s gear list?
"The Durden RIG Reflect Goggles are my favorite frames for skiing. I prefer the traditional flat lens look and love the fit. The oversized strap and thick foam around the face create a seal that tops any other frame I’ve worn.
The Heat RIG Reflect and Ronin Max RIG Reflect sunglass frames complete my ski touring and aviation kit. The Ronin is my go-to touring frame. It’s one step away from a sealed goggle, with similar function in optics. Plus, it’s breathable and has the added wind and sun protection I want and need.
The Heat is lightweight and fits well with my headset when flying and just looks good."

Freeride Skiing
“Freeride is at our very core. Always has been, always will be. Pushing the limits of what’s possible is also at the core of Sweet Protection. These shared values make Wiley Miller the perfect fit for the brand. He’s such an awesome skier and has been on the scene for more than a decade. We’re stoked to have him on the team. I think it’s very cool that he’s a pilot—maybe he can fly us somewhere remote for skiing!”
