Snowmass Mountain West Face Ski Descent – 5.21.06
Christy, with the East Face of Siberia Peak behind. Route: West Face Team: Ted, Christy, Dirk Bockelmann Take two. I skied “on” Snowmass Mountain back in 2002, but couldn’t claim it as a summit descent. So after Pikes Peak last week, I rallied Dirk and Christy for what has become our annual Memorial Day Weekend 14er ski trip and we headed over to Marble. A new side of the mountain...
Pikes Peak Y Couloir – 5.15.06
The “Reverse Trailhead” meant we climbed back up after skiing. Route: Y Couloir Team: ted, Chris Davenport It would be a month after Pyramid before I skied another 14er. An eight day trip to Valdez, AK followed by a ski expedition to the tallest peak in Greenland, all sandwiched around buying and remodeling our condo kept me busy when Chris was stepping up his efforts on the 14ers. I was...

East Face of Pyramid Peak Ski Descent – 4.13.06
Chris, in the big middle section of the Landry Route. Route: East Face Team: Ted, Chris Davenport, Neal Beidleman The advanced planning was minimal, consisting of a couple of organizational calls from Chris, laced with tones of muted optimism. The recon was even more limited. We had a few aerial shots of the route, a line that had only been skied once before back in 1978. The hazards were widely...
Mount Sherman South Face Ski Descent – 3.15.06
Up top, not much to see here, either. Route: South Slopes Team: Ted, Chris Davenport Even though I had already skied Mount Sherman once in 2004, I still welcomed Chris’s invitation to do something different and get out of Aspen for the day. We could talk up some more exciting trips for spring and maybe somewhere down the road he would return the favor and come along with me when...
Cristo Couloir – Quandary Peak Ski Descent – 1.24.06
A January ski descent of Quandary peak with Chris Davenport and Horton the Quandary Dog.
