By staying true to himself and finding peace at 26,000 feet, this Aspenite has became one of the country’s most accomplished ski mountaineers.

The climbing exploits of Mike Marolt place him in an elite fraternity of the world’s most accomplished mountaineers.

Adhering to an old-school “pure style” – without the aids of supplemental oxygen, altitude drugs and porters – pushes these achievements to an even loftier level.

The fact that he culminates these climbs by descending on skis from the world’s highest peaks – while battling hypoxia, avalanche danger, obscenely dangerous terrain, minus-20 degree cold and vertigo-inducing whiteouts – places them in the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame.
