On May 16, 2010, with a ski descent of Capitol Peak's East Face, I completed my goal of skiing the 54 Colorado 14,000-foot mountains (aka the 14ers). While the root of the project can be traced back 10 years when, as a relative novice with a ready smile, I skied my first 14er, Quandary Peak, it eventually evolved into something bigger than I ever could've imagined back then. And so somewhere along the way, it occurred to me: I wanted to ski them all -- something no woman had ever done, and something I learned more about during my husband (and best friend and best skiing/climbing partner) Ted's own Ski the 14ers Project, which he completed in April 2008. Below are some details of my 14ers project as well as a slideshow for each which can be linked through their dates. - Christy |
