Winter 14ers

It's a very popular beginner 14er, most people's first one. Lots of people on the trail and a well marked skin track. It's not necessarily a test of skill, but a test of stamina. So just give yourself a steady pace and plenty of time to do it.

Just take the cog rail up Pikes Peak and grab a tee shirt at the top.

Lots of guides for this one online. It's mellow as far as 14ers go. The biggest piece of advice is to do your research and listen to the mountain. Just because it's an "easy 14er" doesn't mean you can ignore avy reports, wind, weather, etc. Like any trip into the backcountry, 100 signs need to line up for a yes and it only takes one to say no. The mountain will always be there. Don't force a summit attempt if it doesn't make sense

Where are you from? Lower elevation people tend to get altitude sickness easier when attempting these kinds of peaks. Also, it sounds cliché but grabbing some oxygen bottles from a local Walgreens can help a lot when you are up that high. 14,000 ft is no joke.

I’m aware I’ve done Quandary and I’ve done probably more than 10 of them by this point. I just haven’t done them in winter. I’m aware of the basic considerations I just wanted to know what other ones there were for doing them in winter.
Currently I’ve done:
Longs
Capitol
Pikes Peak (Via Barr Trail)
Massive
Elbert
Harvard
Yale
Grays
Quandary
Snowmass
Lincoln
