Since the first event, on Burlington\u2019s Bolton Valley resort, Chill\u2019s mission has been to share the power of snowboarding with kids who might otherwise not have access to boardsports. And since 1995 it has giving thousands of young people a pathway to a new future with sports, the natural environment and community at its core. Now operating as a foundation across a number of European countries. We head to Winterberg, Germany to catch up with Burton Europe Team rider Leon Vockensperger and spend a day with the Chill crew!
