Skier's vertical odyssey: two million feet in 266 days

365 days. 5,500 feet a day climbed average. he ended with 2,010,000 vertical climbed.

I end up getting loads of relevant ski news from ESPN nowadays...

"He said he ended up skiing about 270 days (his previous high for a winter was 145), and averaged 7,400 feet of ascent and descent on those days. He spent a total of eight months in North America, mostly around Revelstoke, and four months in South America, mostly in Chile. The pursuit cost roughly $70,000, of which $45,000 came from sponsors; he also accepted money from approximately 25 random donors and absorbed a healthy dose of debt."

Yeah, I recomend just watching the video.

too bad more people care about gallant quitting skiing for the 10th time than this.

Poor guy should get a little more recognition I think..... I'd like to see a marathon runner or olympic athlete that could do what he did.

Big ups, hopefully somebody steps up to this plate and helps him cover the rest of the cost financially - I'd call this a BIG human achievement.

That is simply unreal. 5000 vertical feet climbed a day? Unbelievable. I can't wait for the day when I'm no longer stuck in the fucking terrain park.
