Montana-based Peak Ski Company announced that Chris Davenport has joined the company’s leadership team as senior director of skiing and product innovation. Earlier this year, Peak Ski Company co-founders Bode Miller and Andy Wirth launched the company and its 2022/23 lineup of high-performance Peak by Bode Miller alpine skis.
Davenport will report directly to Wirth, participating in developing and executing the company’s strategic plans with an emphasis on advancing the Peak by Bode Miller line of skis and a new line of high-performance backcountry skis. Davenport will work closely with Darrin Haugen, Peak’s recently hired vice president of innovation, design & production, Marc Peruzzi, the company’s vice president of product & content, and Miller, who is also the company’s chief innovation officer.
Davenport, a celebrated two-time World Champion big mountain skier and member of the USA Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame, has achieved multiple first descents on peaks around the world and is a ski guide with more than 20 years of experience. In addition to his remarkable success as a mountain athlete, he has been an integral member of the Scarpa product development team for many years. In January, Scarpa announced that Miller joined Davenport as a brand ambassador for its new high-performance 4-Quattro touring ski boot.
