Welcome to where I share my fourteener ski adventures!

In April of 2006 I skied my first fourteener, Mt. Princeton- a mountain that had always captured me by it's dominance as I passed through the Arkansas River Valley. Shortly after, I skied Castle Peak. With it's awe-inspiring scenery and amazing lines, I found I was completely hooked. There began my quest to ski the Fourteeners. By June, 2008 I had completed ski decents on 45 of Colorado's 54 Fourteeners. Unfortunately, a torn ACL in my left knee during February, 2009 prevented me from skiing any more fourteeners during that season. But, I'm not going to let this injury stop me! In 2010, I look forward to challenging myself on top of Colorado's largest peaks.

Check out the Denver Post Article, featuring both Pam Rice and me: A Female Presence on States 14ers, published 4/28/2009, written by Scott Willoughby.

Thanks! Though I have not yet completed my goal of skiing all of Colorado's fourteeners, I have come far since beginning in 2006. My main supporter has been my boyfriend, Frank Konsella, who finished skiing his fourteeners in May, 2008, finishing 4th behind Lou Dawson, Chris Davenport, and Ted Mahon. We met in 2006 because we both loved to ski fourteeners, and have skied over thirty of them together since. There are many more people I should thank including, but not limited to: Jordan White, Pete Sowar, Pam Rice, Chris Webster, Mark Cavaliero, Dave Bourassa, Joe Brennan, Andy Dimmen, Jon Turner, Ted Mahon, Christy Sauer, Jeremy Wegener, Jarrett Luttrell, Brad Bond, Dustin Sysko, Jim Clarke, Marko Ross-Bryant, Lou Dawson, and many many more people who have helped and supported me along the way.

Inspired by Chris Davenport and Lou Dawson, I hope to follow in their footsteps. Below you will find all of Colorado's official fourteeners sorted by range, with links provided to the peaks I have skied!


Note to Reader: This site is currently being updated. I have links to only some of the fourteeners I have skied. The process of updating this website is ongoing. I will try to keep this site updated as I ski more fourteeners, and will be consistantly updating links to fourteeners I have skied in the past. For more recent information, please view my Blog!
