Ski With The Superstars: 70-Plus Inches At Portill...
Another incredible week is almost over at South America's hippest ski area. I have been coming to Portillo for nine years now and this place just keeps getting better and better. This year I had 29 clients for my 6th annual Superstars Ski Camp and Mother Nature once again obliged with over seven feet of new snow in the days leading up to the camp. With coaches Ingrid Backstrom, Wendy Fisher, Chris Anthony, Mike Douglas and myself leading the charge, we pushed our clients to find new heights in their skiing, tackling steep lines, couloirs, airs, and almost too deep powder.
This week is always viewed as a progression and by the end of the camp everyone felt as if they had lifted their game beyond what they had ever experienced. The most gratifying thing for me with this camp is the comments I get at the end of the week; "My best ski vacation ever, lines of my life, and I will definitely be back year" are just a few examples that highlight the stoke of the group.And for myself and the rest of the coaches we leave with the satisfaction of sharing our passion for skiing with new friends and inspiring them to keep pushing themselves on and off the hill.

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 |
