Redcloud and Sunshine
Redcloud and Sunshine peaks, a great pair of 14ers outside of Lake City that you can ski in a single day.
Crystal Peak – 13,852 ft.
The 13er Crystal Peak, in the valley above Francie’s Cabin outside of Breckenridge makes for an outstanding spring ski.
Willow Peak – 13,336 ft.
Just getting caught up here on the backlogged trips thus far- this was a great one we had on Sunday, April 26. Forgoing what was the 4th ‘official’ ski area closing day(after all the season extensions), a rather large group of us tested the limitations of modern snowmobiles and headed up the Maroon Creek Road to ski Willow Peak. John Doyle and Kirk sacrificed the machines to get Pierre and Andre Wille, Sean, Christy,...
Culebra Peak Ski Descent – 3.9.08
Pondering the monster cairn. Route: Northwest Ridge Team: Christy, Ted, Jordan White, Frank Konsella, Brittany Walker There are some things that all players in the 14er game must eventually confront.

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.
