14 - Meet The Challenge: Two Backcountry Events in the Green Mountains

The month of March features two formidable backcountry ski events in the Green Mountains, both of which raise funds for worthy causes. In episode 14 you'll meet Yurij Bihun from the Camel's Hump Challenge and RJ Thompson who is organizing the 24 Hours of Bolton. The Camel's Hump Challenge is a 13 mile circumnavigation of the iconic, undeveloped peak raising money for the VT Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. http://camelshumpchallenge.com The 24 Hours of Bolton is a new event which challenges participants to achieve maximum laps going up and down the backcountry and resort terrain at Bolton Valley. http://www.nativeendurance.com/bolton24.html This episode of Wintry Mix is proudly supported by Snowbird.
