As most of you know now, the world lost a true Superhero last week. Shane McConkey was a true hero, and wonderful friend, and an inspiration. I could tell a million stories about one of my closest friends, but I'm not quite ready to do that yet. Until that time please visit www.shanemcconkey.org a site set up in tribute and to benefit his beautiful family, Ayla and Sherrie.

Welcome to Chrisdavenport.com. This new site is all about sharing the mountain sports lifestyle with all of you, and hopefully inspiring you to get out there and get after it. After ten years with steepskiing.com it is time for a tear-down and rebuild. My career has been so filled with wonderful trips, great friends, and incredible memories of skiing, climbing, biking, and flying in and around the world's great mountain ranges. I have been lucky to stand atop ridiculous peaks and many podiums, while at the same time raising the next generation of big mountain rippers at home in Aspen, Colorado. The mountains add so much to our lives and are always willing to give, if we are humble and receive graciously. The mountains can also be harsh and take away everything if we don't play carefully and with the utmost respect. The companies that I partner with are a big part of my success, so check out their goods on the "gear" page. Thanks to everyone I've had the pleasure of sharing cool experiences with, and I look forward to many more with all of you in the future. So enjoy the new chrisdavenport.com and make sure you let me know what your doing out there. "A Goal Without A Plan Is Just A Wish", Gaston Rebuffat Chris |
