The Centennial Peaks Project
Spring is here. The busy work season is winding down, the backcountry snowpack is deeper and more stable– this is often the time we get to pursue our personal skiing goals. I have to say we’re really looking forward to this next objective. Christy, Chris Davenport, and I are setting out to ski the Centennials. Put simply, the 100 tallest mountains in Colorado are called the Centennial Peaks. Fifty-three of...

Gladstone Peak – #100
Just the three of us on top of #100– Ted, Christy and our good friend Nicholas Feuillatte.

So I will say once again (and for the umpteenth time this year), congratulations Christy. For some background on the 100...
#99 – And then there was one
Shhh. Maybe this time if we’re really quiet they won’t notice us…. Nope. We recently skied Clinton Peak, 13,857 feet, which was Christy’s 99th summit of the Colorado Centennials.

Simply put, if you compiled a list of the tallest peaks...
Halloween Horseshoes
Nice toss Christy! I’ve played disc golf at 17,200 feet (Everest Basecamp- see below) but horseshoes at 14K? It was a first for me. Click to enlarge. After a string of fall storms brought snow to much of the state, winter has been on everyones mind. Usually we’re excited to pull the stuff out of the closet and head up to Castle Peak’s Montezuma Basin for some early season skiing...
About Christy & Ted
