Staberg’s accomplishment at Copper Mountain Resort earned her the North American record for most vertical feet skied by a woman in a 24-hour period. Staberg achieved the continental record in her quest to ski more than 58,000 feet, which would have eclipsed the world record of 57,890 feet set last month by Martina Valmassoi of Italy. “It was really hard,” Staberg said Tuesday night. “I’m not sure I totally grasped how hard it would be beforehand. My biggest thing was realizing how willing the Summit ski mountaineering community is to support one another. It was special to have so many people come out and pace me, come out and crew, come and cheer.”
