Two Million Feet and Climbing EH!!!

A couple of years ago a friend forwarded a youtube link of a Canadian backcountry skier named Greg Hill based in Revelstoke British Columbia, which is in the heart of the Selkirk Mountains and IMHO some of the most epic backcountry skiing in the world. 

I was hooked and have been following his exploits for several years.  Last year he climbed and skied 2 million vertical feet in one year traveling to South America during the summer to chase the endless winter, an amazing accomplishment. 

During his quest for 2 million feet, one of his equipment sponsors, backcountry.com came up with a great contest to guess his total vertical feet climbed each week as he approached his goal with the chance to win great backcountry ski gear.  Needless to say I was hooked, it was a great lifestyle related marketing campaign using web based video and pictures to connect all of us desk chair jockey's wishing we were out there!
