Q & A With Chris Davenport
Named one of North America's top 25 skiers by Skiing Magazine, Chris Davenport is a two-time extreme skiing world champion and former University of Colorado ski racer. Davenport, 34, does television commentary for ABC and ESPN, has a flourishing global business as a private heli-skiing guide and appears in the new adventure ski film, "The Hit List," from Matchstick Productions. Raised in New England and now living and working in Aspen, Davenport has skied all over the world, from the Himalayas to the Andes, making films and producing magazine covers. His travels can be followed on his Web site, steepskiing.com. A garrulous advocate of the free-skiing movement, Davenport was recently interviewed by Bill Pennington, a ski writer for The New York Times. Among the subjects touched on are undiscovered backcountry areas, family resorts and East versus West skiing. Asked about five ski trips that every skier should make at least once, Davenport includes in his list five musts in the Alps alone.
