I didn't see a couple on your list:

I got Sol Vista Peak last week. Looking at hitting up Molly Hogan Bowl Spire this weekend. Hopefully we can make it a summit descent.

I've gotten Grays, Blanca, Bross and Columbia, Shooting to add another 20 to that list before the snow is gone. Not sure if I'm ready for Molly Hogan Spire though, maybe if I start doing some yogalates. ;)

The toe piece of your dynafit binding has to be touching the USGS marker for it to count as an official summit descent.

There are some "non-official" 14ers on that list, like Conundrum. Challenger Pt is .2mi from Kit Carson, with a 301 foot drop to the saddle. It's not on the traditional 54 list.

What constitutes a fourteener is every bit as contentious as what constitutes a legit descent.

This season done Sherman, Lincoln, Bross with goldenboy. Did Yale, and Crestone Peak with goldenboy and don pedro. Quandary with brettf. Columbia with Killing Cokes, Kya, and doumall.

Lindsey and I hit Quandary (cristo colouir) on Sunday- skied from the top but walked over the rock band in about 300 ft from the summit.

It will be kind of interesting to see where this list stands by the end of the year.

Doumall has a bunch, probably, but I definitely remember seeing Humboldt
Don Pedro and myself on the Needle
Don Pedro and cjw on Kit Carson

edit- don pedro skied wetterhorn, too

jon turner and I did Antero so that the rest of the maggot crew could be spared the suffering of that heap of scree

I copied the list from 14ers.com, Challenger Point is in the Sangre De Cristos just south of Mount Sneffles.

R U sure?

I thought we were kicking it old school, like '06 style, with some Sneffels/Sol Vista style humor :D

I think it would be really cool to do a maggot 14er quest. I'll try to knock some off the list this spring.

We can even get the CA and PNW maggots involved with the effort of hitting all the lower 48 14ers.

yeah, but we only skied from about 1000 feet or so below the summit, so wouldn't count as a summit descent, we definitely topped out though. So, don't know if it will count for this list.

Post 100!

Post 100!

The maggot rules for a 14er ski.

The descent has to start within 1000 vertical feet of the summit and you must ski at least 100 vertical feet. It is optional to summit the peak, but if you do summit you must take a picture of the summit register, you will earn bonus points if your name is on the same page as Davenport's.

Boy, this could get complicated. I mean, what exactly does the word "ski" mean? Would a standing glissade count as long as some jump turns were incorporated? And what about using snowlerblades? Or snowlerblades mounted w/ tele bindings? I'm not looking to stir up trouble, I'd just hate to see someone go to the trouble of snowlerblading Windom or the like this spring and not have it count. :frown: We must adopt an ethically pure standard immediately if we hope to receive a begrudging mention on wildsnow.com.

And what's the strategy for Capitol? Will we draw straws or just all go and fling ourselves down it in hopes that one mag survives to claim the descent?

Dawson couldn't even ski Molly Hogan spire. That is some serious GNAR!!!

I think at this point skiing any peak given the temps/snow quality would be a bonus.

I would dig traveling to CO to tag a 14er. I always wanted to be part of the cool kid club and the whole 14er thing is all the rave. (mostly serious here)

Do it!!! Bring Trackhead and Xover along with you. Would be some fun times.

Did you honestly have a complete ski descent of the pyramid this winter and not post a TR about it. For shame...

Yep, and after all that spraying about how crappy everyone in the squaw comp was, and how a basin is better than squaw, and how he was going to rule it in the master's division at the butte. Not too sure about obaburga.... But if he's not just trolling or something, good for him, for sure.

I'd love to see some photos from Long's, too, and hear about N Eolus and why it was the only one he skied in Chicago basin.

yeah oba, whats up with the utter lack of stoke? Out of the 53 14ers I count as official in Co, I managed to ride:

None.

Prolly did it in one day too. I mean, it's only 52 miles round trip in the winter. I thought for sure he would pick up the rest of the slack and nail the others while he was in Chicago Basin.

You folks into numbers need to start heading to AK to finish the endless job.;)

I mean, why stop at CO, WA, and CA?

Not to mention the 51st state of Canada, There's 14ers there too

I think that only the provable by TR 14er descents should count. I am quite certain that almost all of the 14ers get skiied every year, so letting 16 post jong maggots who have not posted a TR for the descent count in the aggregate just makes it all the less impressive. If it is a maggot 14er quest, than it should be maggots that go on the board, not just some 16 poster waving his dick with no backup(not that we all dont like waving our dicks from time to time. And id have no problem with a 16 poster being included in this as long as there is a TR on the board for it to back it up, the more the merrier). I guess that leaves out folks who cant afford a digi cam though for the quest, but if someone can vouch for obaburga then please let me know and ill edit this post, but otherwise, whose to say he did these peaks or not(I know, innocent until proven guilty but im playing devils advocate right now and trying to get him to pony up the pics for us all.)

Could have had one last Saturday.... instead of waking up late after all the Guinness. ;)

I mean you hiked/climbed them all.... that probably counts somewhat as well!

what couloirman said. no better way to get some more good stoke on the board than to make a TR a necessary requirement to claim it! :yourock:

however, when we go to metric units in the states, there's going to be a lot of people bummed out that they dont have a nice pretty number to get a hard on about. The smart ones are already out scouting and finding rad lines and beautiful descents on the peaks in the 13123-13999 range.

whats with the #'s couloirman? what is a 16 poster? did you mean "poser"?

and my vertical ascents of 14k ft peaks are something i do for my personal stoke. on a personal stoke level on the stoke-a-meter i'm like so stoked is wicked. i don't take pictures on my peak quest cuz i'm trying a new technique called mountain memory. at least i don't go profitting from my mission like some other people.

And I just don't like the way hacking is scored high in comps these days. back in 97' billygoat skiing would not be awarded on bodybag. And my wife, shit I mean ex-wife...she would agree.

and i admit longs was not really "skiing"

Davenport told he rubbed his taint on the USGS marker on every summit. Now that is fucking core.
