"Shaun White, five-time Olympian and three-time Olympic gold medalist in half-pipe snowboarding, is more than familiar with winter sports. He's lived and breathed it for years. But there was always one thing missing: No one was organizing or governing them. That's where White's latest venture, THE SNOW LEAGUE, has been a game-changer for winter sports athletes. With a mission to bring structure and excitement to skiing and snowboarding, he successfully completed his inaugural event in Aspen."
"From his early days of living in a van with his family to make ends meet, White reflected on how that experience shaped his view of success. "But honestly, I look back and those were some of the most exciting times. I think those experiences gave me a deeper appreciation for where I am now," says White. "If I'd had the best gear and all the resources from day one, it probably wouldn't have meant as much to me.""
