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.

Atlantic & Pacific
Skiing Pacific and Atlantic peaks together in one day from the east.
Grizzly Peak – 13,988 ft.
Ski descent of the Grizzly Couloir on Grizzly Peak, 13,988 ft., up the Lincoln Creek Valley near Independence Pass.
Buckskin Benchmark
The view from the top. Spring is here. At least according to the calendar.

The 13,370 foot summit just north of Buckskin Pass sits between the...
Mount Buckskin, 13,865 ft.
A windy day skiing the 13er Mount Buckskin, in the Kite Lake group of peaks near Alma, CO.
Hagerman Peak – 13,841 ft.
A spring climb and ski descent in 2008 of Hagerman Peak, near Snowmass Mountain and Snowmass Lake. We don’t hear much about Hagerman Peak. Even being one of the tallest (top-ten) local peaks in the Aspen area, it seems to garner little attention.
Cathedral Peak – 13,953 ft.
We hooked up with a gang of friends from town and headed up to Cathedral Lake. Our goal was the Pearl Couloir of Cathedral, an area classic and sweet objective by itself. At the top of the couloir however, Christy and I would continue on up and over to Cathedral’s true summit, and ski it’s Southeast Face.
