Winter Nolan Attempts

In April 2014, Rohan Roy and Anna Lauer Roy completed what is believed to be the first full ski traverse of Nolan's 14. Their journey spanned 14 days, from April 16 to 30, and involved skiing to each summit and returning to lower elevations to camp. The route covered approximately 130 miles, often at lower elevations to mitigate avalanche danger, with climbs to each summit and descents back to camp .mattmahoney.net+1aspentimes.com+1

In 2020, Aspen-based endurance athlete Eric "Sully" Sullivan attempted to become the first to complete Nolan's 14 on skis in a single push. After multiple delays due to dangerous conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic, Sullivan planned to start his attempt in early May 2020, aiming to finish within 100 hours. He had previously attempted the feat, skiing nine of the fourteeners in 36 hours with only 40 minutes of sleep. For his 2020 attempt, he planned to prioritize more rest and safety, with support from friends and sponsors .aspentimes.com+1alwaysmountaintime.com+1alwaysmountaintime.com+1aspentimes.com+1
