Fun stuff.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Most people don&#8217;t know about Sean Crossen, but they should.  He was one of Colorado&#8217;s 14er-skiing pioneers in the early to mid-2000&#8217;s.  Long before legendary Chris Davenport decided he would try to ski all of Colorado&#8217;s fourteeners, Sean Crossen was out there, on cumbersome old gear, exploring new routes on these high peaks.  While Sean ultimately came up a little bit shy &#8211; never actually skiing Capitol Peak from the summit &#8211; he put in a great effort and skied an awful lot of peaks in winter-like conditions, quite unlike our efforts which tended to mostly occur in the spring.<\/p>\n<p>Sean Crossen put this video together a while back documenting his efforts to ski all the fourteeners back in the mid-2000&#8217;s.  The video contains lots of guest appearances from &#8220;The Crew&#8221;, too- guys like Pete Sowar, John Jasper, Chris Webster and even the O.G. Lou Dawson on El Diente.  It&#8217;s well worth checking out, although perhaps with the music muted  \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><!--more READ MORE!--><\/p>\n<p>Some highlights:  Pete and his huge pack unable to mount his bike to get up the Maroon Creek road around 10:30.
