Description of Capitol Peak Publishing Ski The 14ers:
Ski the 14ers tells the true story of ski mountaineer Chris Davenport's epic accomplishment of skiing every one of Colorado's 14000-ft peaks in one year. More than 200 captivating 12 x 12in prints depict the extreme conditions and breathtaking views of the adventure, and portray what an incredible accomplishment Davenport's crusade really is.
Bottom Line: An inspiring tale of epic adventure, right next to your other coffee table book about puppies.
davenport is bad ass. this book is awesome. it's basically a big picture book of colorado backcountry ski porn. the story is compelling mostly because the challenge is daunting. plus he's from new hampshire so he must be cool.
there is no shame i buying it for the pictures and using it as a coffee table book. it's so big it's made for that.
this book definitely stoked my fire to get out and ski some crazy shit.
