I was able to hit up some backcountry skiing this past Sunday on Jones’ Pass. I don’t have pics because my camera is being sent into Canon to get some things fixed on it. But, I will say it was a great time. Despite the lack of snow in the area, Jones’ Pass is holding close to its traditional nature of being one of those places that just seems to always hold snow. I hope to have my camera again soon….
Moving onto better things….
Chris Davenport finished skiing all of Colorado’s fourteeners in January of 2007 and he was the first person to do it in a calendar year (365 days or less). His efforts have proved to be an inspiration to so many people in Colorado and across the country. Davenport’s sweet success was clouded by the ongoing battle with the National Forest about his movie which documents his ski adventures. The NF will not allow Davenport to show his movie due to much debate about proper permits and filming rights in Wilderness area. Most of Colorado’s fourteeners are located in Wilderness designated areas.
All the same, you CAN view this 7+ minute video of Davenport’s fourteener project. The video is amazing and truly inspirational. Check it out:
