Shaun White is among the most decorated snowboarders of all time. White began his career with skateboarding but transitioned to snowboarding. He remains the only athlete to win gold in the Olympics, X Games, and Winter X Games for snowboarding and skateboarding. After such an illustrious career, White is enjoying retirement to the fullest. Recently, the adventure seeker went on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Antarctica. However, he wasn’t alone. Other athletes and celebrities, including his partner Nina Dobrev, joined the Olympian.

Earlier the three-time Olympic gold medalist uploaded a video of him snowboarding on the ice-covered slopes of Antarctica with Dobrev, Jared Leto, Lewis Hamilton, and others. The video showcases the snowboarding skills of everyone in White’s “crew.”
