You may have heard of the trendy term \u201cEveresting\u201d – where folks pick any hill and attempt to run, climb, ski, bike, etc., laps on said hill until they have reached the same vertical gain as climbing Everest-  8,848m or 29,032 feet. Sounds pretty tough, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now imagine \u201cEveresting\u201d twice- back to back, over the course of three non-stop days. In a \u201ctrash panda\u201d onesies. On Craigslist telemark skis. With a broken binding that\u2019s Voile Strapped to your boot for nearly half of the laps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter Ben Eck, the winner of Ski The Whites<\/a> \u201cLast Skier Standing\u201d event. The name perfectly describes the objective of the event: be the last skier standing. However, there\u2019s more to it than just standing. Participants must complete the course within an hour and be ready to go in the starting zone before embarking on the next lap start. Ben miraculously skied for 61 hours straight, gaining over 64k of vert in over 150 miles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
