Aspen-based big mountain skier Chris Davenport has ascended and descended some of the most challenging peaks on Earth\u2019s seven continents, he famously skied all of Colorado\u2019s 54 fourteeners in the span of a year and, like all of us, he\u2019s been spending some extra time on the couch over the past month during stay-at-home orders to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus.<\/p>\n

We asked Davenport, who has been featured in Warren Miller flicks like \u201cFlow State\u201d<\/a><\/i> and Matchstick\u2019s \u201cDays of My Youth\u201d<\/a><\/i> and was the director-producer of \u201cAustralis,\u201d<\/a><\/i> to curate a collection of his favorite ski and adventure films you can watch during your stay-home period.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo there are three key elements to a good adventure film: great characters, an epic or exotic location, and an objective that pushes the human experience to new heights,\u201d Davenport explained of his selections. \u201cNow, a great<\/em> adventure film has an added element. It could be a tragedy, or a survival story, or even a huge \u2018first\u2019 for humanity. Regardless, filmmaking in remote locations is an amazing art and one that has inspired me for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

These are his picks:<\/p>\n
