14er Ski Descents – Castle Peak – April 2, 2011
An awesome early spring ski descent of the East Face of Castle Peak.
Sportswomen of Colorado
(Christy here) This weekend I had the honor of attending the 37th Annual Sportswomen of Colorado Awards Celebration. Prior to receiving a letter a few weeks back notifying me that I was the recipient of an award for Superior Performance in Ski Mountaineering, I was not familiar with the organization. Honored to be included, I headed to Denver, and along with my parents, attended the gala event. As it turned...
Christy’s Homestretch
Clicked in atop Capitol but not out of the woods yet. Click any pic to enlarge. So Christy pulled it off, she’s the first woman to ski the 54 Colorado 14ers. And what a finish it was, not simply due to the fact that her final peak was Capitol, considered by my many to be the most committing ski descent of all the 14ers, but in the various challenges that...
Christy’s Done – all 14ers skied
A message after skiing all the Colorado 14ers back in 2010.
Ski Capitol Peak – 5.16.10
With a ski descent of Capitol Peak in May 2010, Christy had succeeded in being the first woman to climb and ski all of Colorado’s 14ers.
Ski Pyramid Peak – Landry Line – 5.8.10
Skiing the Hourglass Couloir on the 14er Little Bear Peak in 2008.
Mount Wilson – North Face Ski Descent – 5.5.10
A convoluted summit ski descent of Mount Wilson in 2010.
El Diente – North Face Ski Descent – 5.5.10
From the notch in the distance, it’s easier terrain to the summit. Route: North Face Team: Christy, Ted Christy and I came here earlier this season (March) but found the snow to be pretty unstable, so we turned around and went home. After a recent spring storm blew through the state, we decided to give the El Diente – Mount Wilson pair another look. We made it a good way...
14er Ski Descents – Quandary Peak – May 4, 2010
Another smooth day on Quandary and the Cristo Couloir.
Pikes Peak Ski Descent – 5.1.10
Christy in the Y Couloir. Route: Crags CG/summit/Y couloir/summit/Crags CG Team: Christy, Ted Christy wanted this one done, and she didn’t want to wait. We had been unlucky in a couple of earlier attempts to get up the Pikes Peak Highway to ski the Y Couloir. The road closes regularly in the fickle spring weather. So as it was looking like she might be able to finish all 54 ski...
