Colorado 13er & 14er Ski Descents

Footnotes on 13er and 14er ski descents:

All peaks on the list were summited, and all peaks on the list were also skied from within a pole touch of the summit block, with only a few exceptions:

Wetterhorn Peak was always skied from below the summit block, and Mount Bross was skied from the top of Moose Gulch, across the summit plateau from the exact summit. That follows the standards we believe to exist today.

Teakettle Mountain, Dallas Peak, and Jagged Mountain all involved rappels from their respective summits. In all three cases, the summits were reached, and the skiing began below the rappels at the highest reasonable (skiable) snow. We matched any earlier skiing standards set by others, or in the cases where no prior ski history was documented, we believe we skied from the highest point that could be skied on the mountain.

Furthermore, in some instances, we descended from the summit on foot a short way before skiing, in which case we returned to the peak at a later date to ski from the summit. Evans, Crestone Peak (NW), early trips to the Wilsons, and early summits in Needle Creek all required follow-up trips to ski from the summit, but the initial trips are still listed above.
