While cycling was a major part of Magnus White’s life, the teen took advantage of Colorado’s snowy mountains during the winter and practiced his jumps on a pair of skis instead of his bike. “Growing up in Colorado, my love for outdoor activities has always been a central part of my life. Whether it’s riding my bike, skiing down the slopes, or hiking with my dog, Zuma. While my main focus has been on cycling, I take advantage of the off-season to indulge in my other passion — skiing,” White stated on his website.
In March 2021, he shared a video on Instagram of himself on skis flying down a hill. “Day 1 in [Steamboat Springs, Colorado] was just a little nice (cased first vid a bit) thanks to some random guy for filming second vid,” he captioned.

A 2020 video showed him jumping off of ramps with his friends and he wrote, “Epic sending today building jumps behind my house with @henry.rapinz @judescarbrough.” White clearly had a love for both cycling and skiing and he undoubtedly would have gone far in his racing career had it not been for his tragic death.
