In the latest SnowBrains podcast, Miles sat down with Chris Davenport,ย the world extreme skiing champion in both 1996 and 2000, and star of over 30 Warren Miller ski movies.
Having skied all over the world, from the Lhotse face at 27,000โฒ in the shadow of Mt. Everest to his local Aspen Snowmass, CO resort, Chris is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to where are the best ski destinations in the world. So we asked him, and these were his favorite picks (in no particular order):
Chugach mountains of Alaska
The coastal range of British Columbia
Hokkaido, Japan
Aspen Snowmass, CO
The San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado
The Tetons of Wyoming
Swiss and French Alps
The Dolomites of Italy
Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Portillo, Chile
Antarctic Peninsula, one of the greatest destinations for ski touring in the world

Chris answered my Facebook message regarding conditions on some early summer conditions on Colorado 14ers after he had skied them. Not a lot of sports where you can have that kind of interface with your heroes, Chris is awesome.
