Skiing the Fourteeners

In January Chris Davenport finished skiing all 54 fourteeners in Colorado in 363 days. I have hiked all of them and done winter climbs or skiing on a few of them. I certainly couldn’t ski most of them and have trouble even imagining anyone being able to. A couple that seem really tough to me are Little Bear and Pyramid.

The Forest Service has said that no video can be used that was shot in wilderness areas from a helicopter. I’ve read several places that no video from wilderness areas can be used without any mention of a helicopter. I don’t understand use of video taking by someone skiing but I agree helicopters shouldn’t be hovering over wilderness areas.

Out there posted a link today of a video clip that’s been on YouTube for a couple months. It shows some really good shots of how pretty it is in the backcountry in the winter. It also shows some shots of crazy skiing. There are also a lot of great pictures on his website for the project.

Update: The video was removed from YouTube.
