I am going to Colorado at the end of March and will be staying in Frisco and alternating between skiing and hiking. I was wondering what fairly "easy" winter ascents of 14ers I could do within that area. I have ice axe and crampons.
Thanks!

Quandary near Breckenridge is a good first one to try. No technical equipment needed if you go by the standard route.

This page should help. It outlines each 14er as experienced in winter conditions:

In the area you are going, Quandary or Sherman might be good. Torreys from Loveland Pass too, but it's long and you have to watch out for cornices. Elbert East Ridge is usually a safe bet in winter, but it can be long if you try it in a day.

Thank you for all of the useful information!
