Davenport skis Kit Carson


It was 14er #47 this week for world-class skier and adventurer Chris Davenport of Aspen, who's nearing his goal of skiing down all of Colorado's 14ers in a calendar year.

He sent this e-mail:

Christmas came early for Ted Mahon and I on Kit Carson Peak in the Sangre De Cristo mountains. Not knowing what we were in for, we set out on a long drive Tuesday and found ourselves camped at the trailhead for Kit Carson Peak Tuesday night. Wednesday was a long and incredibly satisfying day on Kit Carson. Skiing deep, fresh powder on a steep fourteener in the month of December is a rare treat, and we took full advantage.

Happy holidays everyone! If Mother Nature grants my Christmas wishes I'll be back in the high peaks soon, so stay tuned.
Chris
