Ski the 14ers
Between January 22, 2006 and January 19, 2007, Aspen's Chris Davenport skied all 54 of Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks within one year. To accomplish the goal, Davenport and his companions faced every condition from water ice to powder, from bluebird days to subzero temperatures and intense winds. He climbed over 200,000 vertical feet during his ascents and often the very difficult routes had minimal snow cover. The true scope of this accomplishment is known by only a handful of experienced alpinists and skiers. Colorado ski alpinist Lou Dawson was the first to climb and ski all 54 peaks, which took him 13 years to accomplish. This book is an extraordinary photo expose of all the 14ers in winter. The trip reports gives the reader a window to this rare accomplishment. Watch SkiTV's interview with Chris Davenport.

Freeskiing - by Jimmy Oden

How to adapt to the mountain
Jimmy Oden says "This is the book I wished I’d had but never found during my ski bum years. I have written it from a unique position; I still remember all the questions I used to ask myself, only now I have the knowledge and experience to provide the answers."

"The purpose of this book is to convey how professionals think and act in a big mountain environment. And as the book is written from a passionate skier’s perspective, everything documented on its 366 pages comes down to one single aim: To help capable free skiers reach as much good skiing as possible – as safely as possible."
