Snowboarder Who Lived In His Toyota Tundra Named to Olympic Team

UPDATE: This morning we read some discouraging news about our Reiter story. Turns out the International Olympic Committee has decided to drop the snowboarding parallel slalom event for the 2018 games. Reiter represented team USA for the 2014 games and finished third in the world in 2015. Upon learning the news, Reiter has sued the IOC over the cancelation of the event – the first person to ever do so. A Switzerland judge has ruled the lawsuit can move forward and Reiter is currently going through the legal process. We will keep you informed if we hear anything else on this story. Good luck with your fight Reiter!

We write a bunch of different stories here at Tundraheadquarters.com and every once in a while, we come across a story that really grabs our attention. This story about an Olympic snowboard hopeful relying on and sleeping in his Tundra while training for the games is one such story.

Alpine snowboarder Justin Reiter was recently named to the 2014 Olympic Team. He lived in his Tundra while training.
