Well, Chris and Jess McMillan got all they wanted and then some. They picked off 15 volcanoes (counting the Sisters as three) in 15 days in the Pacific Northwest. This is an impressive feat by anyone’s standards.
Getting the weather you need to ski big peaks in the PNW at this time of year is a game of roulette. If you’re Chris Davenport, just put it all on red, cause the snow gods have stacked the odds in your favor.
The moral of the story is: ski where Dav skis, when he skis there. You will get good weather. It will be awesome. You will crush massive vert. Here’s a rundown of the team’s stats from their trip:
