30 countries. 14 days. 4 adventurers.
Ride our edge.
In February of 2011, four Across the Atlas adventurers will embark on a spectacular journey across Europe that will test the limits of their stamina, perseverance, dedication, expertise and resolve—all for the sake of mankind’s greatest cause: helping preserve the world we live in.
The future Guinness World Record-setters—no mortal has ever attempted to ski all continental Europe in less than two weeks—will face risks and challenges at every hairpin turn, mountain pass, midnight run and armed border crossing. By the numbers, those include:
- 9,000 miles of roads, many unpaved and unwelcoming
- 75,000 vertical feet of skiing, in unpredictable conditions and state of mind
- 29 different languages, sketchy translators—the Babel Syndrome
- 11 critical yet hard-to-secure entry visas
- 24 passport-controlled checkpoints patrolled by armed guards
- And immeasurable stress, strain and physical fatigue inherent in such a mad dash to history
Why?
Team ATA is as dedicated and passionate about preserving our planet as it is about ripping and shredding its wondrous slopes. By Carving Europe we can do both.
