COLORADO'S ULTIMATE
RESIDENT BADASS
The state of Colorado lays claim to
an impressive stable of mountain
athletes, from big-name sponsored
pros to self-effacing weekend
champions. But who is the baddest
of the bad? We asked our readers
to answer that question and our
finalists define true dedication to
mountain sports. Ultimate winner
Chris Plesko manages to teach
middle school while crushing
endurance cycling records. Find out
what makes him and our other top
badasses tick.
