In some ways, Shaun White's next trip to the Winter Olympics might be the toughest. Retired for four years and now trying to shape his sport from outside of the halfpipe he once commanded, White says he fully expects his upcoming trip to Italy the country where he won the first of his three gold medals to be an emotional ride, maybe with some unexpected turns.
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.
