I sat down for an interview with Big Life magazine that covered all sorts of topics.

With the Coronavirus shutdown affecting all of our lives in different ways, I offered up some thoughts on what I do to cope with the situation, what I do outside of work to keep busy.

Christy Mahon’s ski descent of the east face of the terrifically steep and technical Capitol Peak in the Elk Range made the 34-year-old Aspen local the first woman to ski all 54 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks.

I spoke with Outside Online about ski gear and what I use when I’m out in the backcountry.

Ski towns can often scare off people who are looking to check all the boxes: love, career, community, activity, etc. Not Christy Mahon. With her signature smile always gracing her face, she has beautifully woven a life that incorporates all the above while proving she doesn’t scare easily.

Longtime Aspen resident Christy Mahon is a highly respected figure in ski circles, both locally and outside Colorado. A highlight on her long list of alpine accomplishments: becoming the first woman to ski all 54 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks, a feat she accomplished in 2010.

As a result of finishing our multi-year project to ski the 100 tallest mountains in Colorado, we were nominated as National Geographic’s Adventurers of the Year for ski mountaineering.
