Shaun White: Highly decorated snowboarder on bringing the Snow League to NZ, upcoming second season

One of the greatest snow sport athletes of all time is heading to our shores this week.  Shaun White is launching his new Snow League World Challenge at Cardrona this weekend, the event preceding the league's second season.  The highly decorated snowboarder told Mike Hosking he's been coming to New Zealand for a long time, and so naturally, he had to bring the league here.   "It's actually one of my favourite places to go," White said.  "So when I was thinking about bringing my event, the Snow League, y'know, around the world, I was like, we have to stop in New Zealand."  Snow League is something White's dreamed of doing since he was competing himself, and says it's been nice to be able to use his voice in the sport to make it better for everyone else.   "I definitely don't think we're where we want to be – we're growing still, we're trying new things, and that's why we're so excited to come to New Zealand," he told Hosking.  "But the future is looking bright."  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
