Chris Davenport: 20 Years of Dedication

by Backcountry Planet December 27, 2014

"As Smith celebrates its 50th Anniversary in 2015, we would like to highlight one of the key athletes that has been with us for 20 years. From the days of hop turns and hot tub landings, to multiple World Champion titles, to redefining what is possible in ski mountaineering, Dav has been a key part of the brand and we are excited to celebrate his commitment and dedication to not only Smith, but the sport of skiing in general. Join us as we take a trip down memory lane with one of the sport’s most accomplished athletes. Thanks for everything you have done over the past 20 years Dav, we look forward to seeing what you are able to accomplish in the future."
