Challenge: Snowboard 1 million vertical feet and raise awareness for YABI!

Extreme sports enthusiast, entrepreneur and friend of YABI, Barron Hanson is attempting a challenge few others have ever even thought about: Snowboard 1 Million Feet in 40 days! Using the premium snow conditions in the Northern Hemisphere, Barron will snowboard in the US & Japan, and will need to average 25,000 feet per day to keep on track for his record breaking attempt.

After graduating University in Australia in December 2011, Barron, 21, was looking for a unique adventure challenge before starting full time work with Liquid Snow Tours in April. He says “snowboarding is a form of meditation” and he “cherishes every minute he is in the mountains”, which is understandable given he is from the desert country of Australia!

Barron is tracking his progress through this blog 1 Million Feet including sharing all his thoughts, concerns, encounters and experiences he has along the way. Keep up with his regular blog posts for constant inspiration and a laugh at the humorous situations Barron often finds himself in!
