One of the most difficult challenges an extreme athlete can face is balancing a family and the sport they risk their lives to pursue. Considering professional skier Chris Davenport’s affinity for big lines and deep backcountry adventures, these dangers become even more apparent and high-risk, and with a family in Aspen, CO it’s a juggling act Davenport must constantly take into account.

In the third episode of Red Bull’s “The Faces of Dav” webisode series, Davenport talks about the difficulties of being a family man and professional explorer, and attempts to answer the question: Is it possible to be a pro skier and a dad?
