“I got injured, decided life was short, so skied all 22 of the Wasatch 11,000 footers in a single ski season.” –Ben White

Tip of the cap to Ben White who overcame a broken back to complete an all American ski challenge that will inspire you get out and ride. Dude’s handlebar mustache draped smile and happy go lucky attitude is straight up infectious. It is my pleasure to introduce “The Wasatch 22” starring Ben White:

“In August 2020, I broke my back. The doctors told me that if I tripped over a carpet while walking and fell over during recovery, I might never walk again. I had been thinking about skiing all 22 of the 11,000 footers in the Wasatch in a single season, and now the idea that life and time is precious was super evident in my mind, so I took the best whack at skiing them all in a single season. I’m lucky enough to have succeeded. Here’s a film about it.”
