- Esportes
In the skiing universe, Chris Davenport is a household name. His notoriety is due in part to the many facets of the sport upon which he’s had a lasting impact. He raced for New Hampshire’s Holderness Academy and the University of Colorado before transitioning to freeskiing and winning world championships in 1996 and 2001. He became one of the first American Red Bull athletes and found his way into more than 30 ski films. And that just scratches the surface of Dav’s decades of dominance.
He eventually moved on from competitive freeskiing to focus on high-profile backcountry objectives like skiing all of Colorado's 54 14,000-foot peaks in less than a year, then skiing the 100 highest peaks in the state. He authored a book about the 14ers project and co-authored Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America.
Today, Dav applies his decades of experience and passion for skiing in a multitude of ways. He’s a ski guide, television host and announcer, and ski entrepreneur. Most recently, he’s taken on a role at Peak Skis alongside Bode Miller, bringing decades in the industry to his focus on design and innovation.
