Skiing Two Million Feet in One Year - Greg Hill
Skier and mountaineer Greg Hill spent last year hauling his skis up mountains and then riding down. In his bid to ski two million feet in a single calendar year, he tells Boyd that he had to cover 5,500 feet per day. He chased winter all around the globe, and finally finished his feat on December 30th. He tells Boyd that he finds climbing a challenge, but skiing down those feet he hiked up are the reward.
