Charlie Fowler and Christine Boskoff were renowned mountain
climbers, champions for the pristine backcountry of Colorado, and
long-time residents of San Miguel County, Colorado. They died in
an avalanche in November 2006, while attempting to summit a
peak in China's Sichuan province.
Christine Boskoff was one of the leading female alpinists in the
United States, having climbed six of the 14 mountain peaks in the
world that are higher than 8,000 meters. Ms. Boskoff also dedi-
cated her time and expertise to support a number of charitable
causes related to climbing, including the rights of porters and Sher-

Boskoff was recognized by the education communities in the United
States and Nepal as a role model for students.
