The Prominence Project
The Idea
To ski every peak in Nevada, USA with over 3,000‘ of prominence (64 total).
Why?
To lure myself into skiing Nevada’s lesser-visited places. With its rich cultural history, immense vastness, and vibrant ecology, Nevada offers several lifetimes of ski adventures. Get out and experience it for yourself!
What is Prominence?
Prominence is a method of quantifying a peak’s relief. In large part due to it’s unique basin & range geology, Nevada has more highly prominent peaks than any other state in the Lower 48.
