Today's guest is legendary skier Greg Hill. Back in 2010 he was all over ski media; he climbed and skied two million vertical feet, climbing 71 mountains in both North America and South America over 266 days of ski-touring. He was the first North American to climb and ski 40,000 vertical feet in 24 hours and he even set a world record of 50,000 in 24 hours. Simply put, the man is a machine.
Since those accomplishments he's dedicated much of his effort into being a better human being from a carbon footprint perspective. His film Electric Greg followed his attempt to ski 100 peaks without burning any fossil fuels.
Today Greg is mostly snowboarding (always up for new challenges) and is continuing to promote a more environmental approach in the mountains.
We talk about his beginnings in the ski world and where he's going in the future.
