14er Ski Mountaineering

This spring follow in the footsteps of such ski pioneers as Lou Dawson & Chris Davenport. Join Crested Butte Mountain Guides on a fully supported and guided summit and ski descent on some of Colorado's most majestic and famous peaks. Be one of the few people able to claim a ski descent on these rugged Ski Mountaineering challenges.

Our 4-day trip itinerary allows for multiple summit attempt days to accomplish one or two different 14ers, and also gives ample time for some unparalleled spring skiing in the high peaks of the Colorado Rockies.

On Day 1 meet your guides in the morning in neighboring Buena Vista, where you will go through last minute gear checking and packing and head out to the trailhead for that weekend's peaks of choice. You will head up to treeline and establish a high camp from which to base your assaults out of. On Day 2 & 3 attempt a summit and ski on that trip's 14ers of choice. On Day 4 use the morning as an alternative to bad weather for one last attempt, or to ski some other appealing lines, before breaking down camp and heading back to the trailhead and on into town. That evening share stories, photos, and food and beverage of your choice with your group and guides in Buena Vista before embarking for home.
