"On the drive there I am drawn by the mountain’s power, feeling helpless yet entranced by our inescapable commitment. It’s almost like I am surrendering my life to the mountain for its own purpose and some unknown destiny." -Ptor Spricenieks   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1415768161248-FGXCHFBIQEJH7Q6W9WQ9/Wilson+50+CLASSICS+FOR+WEB+JPGS19.jpg The Book - The Mount Wilson Massiff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1415805299074-S8WNOH2CJVBOL4TI43M9/Alaska+clean+50+CLASSICS+FOR+WEB+JPGS97.jpg The Book - The Sphinx Elevation: 6299’ 1920m, Aspect: North Vertical: 1800’, First Descent: Rippey, Coombs The Sphinx is one of the most jaw-dropping lines in the entire Chugach Range. It is sustained 50-degree-plus skiing with the added danger of the entire upper face funnelling into the gully above the exit. You better be good at sluff management on the Sphinx, or take it slow and easy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1415801685179-WZ7OU8RG0KYX7AWRID7N/Shuksan50+CLASSICS+FOR+WEB+JPGS55.jpg The Book - Mount Shuksan The jewel of the Northwest, Mt Shuksan seems to embody the best of this amazing region. Extraordinary beauty, big vertical, accessible touring routes, committing lines, massive glacial ice combined with an iconic history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1415803504747-U9PZJXJ9WMUQPEFQUXDY/Shasta++clean+50+CLASSICS+FOR+WEB+JPGS51.jpg The Book - Mount Shasta This isolated volcano offers descents from a common summit down every side and every aspect. At 14,000 in elevation it provides the massive verticals that many volcanoes do from northern California to the Northwest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1415802429660-YZVYT2A4BHXVO0UARVE0/Sage+descent+from+Superior+50+CLASSICS+FOR+WEB+JPGS25.jpg The Book - Sage Cattabriga-Alosa does Mount Superior’s South Face justice Adam Clark Photos: Adam Barker Elevation: 11231’ 3393m Aspect: South Vertical: 3000’ Coordinates: 40º35’32”N 111º39’59”W First descent: Unknown This is a Wasatch classic directly across from Alta and Snowbird. It is a must-do for any Utah backcountry skier. Perhaps the most over skied descent after Tuckermans, Superior still offers one of the best descents anywhere if you get first on a cold, clear, crisp morning in the Wasatch. The main difference between this and an Alaskan descent is you will have an audience of critics waiting at Alta/Snowbird if you pooch it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1415827498507-AR5WVO665ZUHLLP8F7RG/Baffin+Polar+Star+perspective.jpg The Book - Baffin Island & The Polar Star Couloir Polar Star is one of many incredible couloirs that split some of the worlds largest rock walls in the Sam Ford Fjord zone. Cold, windy and as unforgiving as the arctic can be at times, these descents require tenacity and lots of fuel, carbohydrates, and a plane in order to complete this arctic journey. Oh and bring a gun as you are officially on the wrong end of the food chain if you encounter a persistent polar bear. https://www.50classicskidescents.com/50classicskidescentscontributors daily 0.75 2017-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1415834658292-8P588R50ME319ZW1JDQL/Screen+Shot+2014-11-12+at+4.23.44+PM.jpg Contributors - 50 Classics Photographers The imagery you will enjoy in our book is the result of literally thousands of of miles of human powered exploration in the mountains over many hundreds of days. We chose the 55 photographers simply because they were the best and the most talented in difficult conditions and all have an amazing eye for the core alpine aesthetic. We thank them.

Our contributors describe each unique and vast region to define the key lines, tours, successes and sometimes failures, the anticipation, fear and in many instances, the first remarkable descents. They are all superbly skilled, well traveled and we are most grateful for their contribution to the knowledge base as well as for their will to go further than anyone else had before them.

Chris first made his mark in the skiing community when he won the 1996 World Extreme Skiing Championships in Valdez, Alaska. In 2000, he managed to land on the podium in each Freeskiing World Tour event he participated in, and won his second World Championship at the 2000 Red Bull Snow Thrill of Alaska. Chris has also been honored five years in a row by Powder Magazine with its Reader’s Poll Award. In addition to his competitive prowess, Chris has been featured in over twenty feature ski films and is also a reporter and color commentator for ESPN and ABC Sports. His writing has been published in magazines including Powder and Men’s Journal. He is an avid climber and mountaineer, with ascents of summits around the globe, and now guides clients on exotic ski trips. When not traveling, Chris recreates around Aspen and Snowmass with his wife Jessica and sons Stian, Topher and Archer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1415835827225-MLYB63PC8U4IMZF6X547/Dav.png Authors - Chris Davenport Chris Davenport, of Aspen, Colorado, is considered one of the world’s most accomplished big mountain skiers.

After trips to South America, Nepal and Alaska, he settled on a friend’s couch in Aspen, Colorado in the summer 1989. Work as a climbing and backcountry ski guide, snowmaker, raft guide and for the Aspen Mountain Race Department eventually led to more steady employment at Climbing Magazine from 1992 – 1997. Currently, Penn is a partner and founder of Backbone Media, an agency specializing in public relations, social media and media planning. When not working, he travels, climbs, skis and chases his wife Kirsten and four kids, Chapin, Lacey, Natalie and Teagan around the mountains. Newhard’s words and images have appeared in titles such as Outside, Climbing, Rock & Ice, Powder, Skiing and Backcountry Magazines. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1415835830553-2JGKDNH5Y55JSX9QJ42S/Art.png Authors - Art Burrows Art Burrows, of Aspen, Colorado, was one of the original catalysts during the rebirth of Telemark skiing in the ‘70s. In the creative world, he is known for innovating new design benchmarks and is a recipient of three coveted Graphis Awards. His design reach has been broad and encompasses downtown civic enhancements for the City of Aspen, ski products for Black Diamond Equipment and brand enhancements for the Aspen Skiing Company, The Colorado River District and others. Burrows, schooled in fine art and design in Italy, never lost his youthful passion for skiing and mountains. He was a key force within the original group that forged modern Telemark skiing. He left his mark on early free-heel big mountain descents in the western U.S. and Canada including the first free heel descent on Mt. Logan in 1978. Art was twice World Masters Telemark Champion, and currently devotes his time between design, photography, winter and summer adventures and raising the next generation of creative contributors and adventurers, Beau, Lilli and Tullis. https://www.50classicskidescents.com/skiers-blog/artburrowsnightski daily 0.75 2014-11-19 https://www.50classicskidescents.com/skiers-blog/artburrowsnightski/andrewmclean monthly 0.5 2014-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1416072546718-XWCGA8D8WQDS850HWTT1/image-asset.png Conversations - The Ski Mountaineer's Addiction - Andrew McLean's Passion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1416072504487-IDH6QPTMMXM3AFDT2G7K/image-asset.png Conversations - The Ski Mountaineer's Addiction - Andrew McLean's Passion. https://www.50classicskidescents.com/skiers-blog/artburrowsnightski/2014/11/13/faceted-delights-or-the-sensation-of-deep-winter-in-the-elk-mountains monthly 0.5 2014-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1416291270096-4KE7NNZTIGJD33Z04CYP/Screen+Shot+2014-11-17+at+11.12.52+PM.png Conversations - Night Ski https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1415913838362-BHN1HBKSIHMHQ2209H24/Opa-night-hut-storm-at-9.30.49-AM.jpg Conversations - Night Ski https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1415913805570-BBWAETLLHKGW8JSPRJNQ/Touring---Scenics--Powder.9.jpg Conversations - Night Ski https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1415913874415-TCED7RHW82R12HE2SK4K/Touring---Scenics--Powder.2.jpg Conversations - Night Ski https://www.50classicskidescents.com/skiers-blog/artburrowsnightski/tag/Andrew+McLean monthly 0.5 https://www.50classicskidescents.com/skiers-blog/artburrowsnightski/tag/50+Classic+Ski+Descents monthly 0.5 https://www.50classicskidescents.com/about daily 0.75 2014-11-12 https://www.50classicskidescents.com/purchase daily 0.75 2019-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1415837250279-9OIKLV6RP5STXU6KZ3PA/Classics+book+image+for+PR+web.png Purchase https://www.50classicskidescents.com/purchase/box-of-9-books monthly 0.5 2024-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1643749788377-ANHCLSY73GQUMC1H3MMS/Enlight1265.JPG Purchase - Box - 10 books (save 20% per book!) https://www.50classicskidescents.com/purchase/20-off-economy-shipping-6-10-days monthly 0.5 2024-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5462c45ae4b0ccac6b5fc635/1615909110521-177MQVX1EVMBSNZGJY4L/Classics%2Bbook%2Bimage%2Bfor%2BPR%2Bweb.png Purchase - Order today and save 10 %.
