Field Notes
Long reads, built from real numbers.
Rankings and deep dives pulled straight from PeakSeeker's own verified resort and summit database — every figure here is the same one you'll find on that resort's or summit's own page, not a separate set of claims.
The 14 Eight-Thousanders
Every mountain on Earth above 8,000 metres, ranked by verified elevation, with real first-ascent dates and names for each.
The biggest vertical drops in North America
Ranked by verified lift-served vertical drop, from Revelstoke's 5,620ft down through the continent's other giants.
Jackson Hole, by the numbers
Terrain breakdown, real named runs, how to actually get there, and where to eat after — all from Jackson Hole's own verified resort page.
The biggest ski areas on Earth
Ranked by verified skiable acreage — including a genuine three-way tie for #1 across three different continents.
1,361 years of first ascents
From a devotional climb up Mount Fuji in 663 AD to a Pakistani peak first stood on in July 2024.
The highest (and lowest) ski resorts on Earth
Ranked by verified summit elevation, from Silverton Mountain's 13,487ft down to a handful of full-season hills under 2,000ft.
Every number in Field Notes links back to the underlying resort or summit page on PeakSeeker, so you can check it yourself rather than take our word for it. See something that doesn't match? Email support@peakseeker.app.
