The first guidebook in a new Backcountry Ski & Snowboard Series from Mountaineers Books, Backcountry Ski & Snowboard Routes: Oregon describes nearly 100 of the best and most classic mountain routes that will exhilarate and challenge winter backcountry seekers. Although many of these routes are geared toward intermediate and expert skiers and boarders, there are also appropriate routes for those just getting into the backcountry for the first time. Full state coverage includes more than 30 routes on Mount Hood alone, and ranges across Mount Jefferson, the Three Sisters and Bend area, Willamette Pass and Mount Bailey, Crater Lake National Park, the southern Cascades, Steens, and the Wallowas and Blue Mountains regions.

There are also classic routes just over the borders -- Mount Shasta and Lassen Peak in Northern California and Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams, and Muir Snowfield in Washington. Many of these routes are selected for their straightforward approaches. Sections describe avalanche safety, best resources, gear, Oregon backcountry laws, and routes by best season and skill level. This is a guidebook to get snowboarders and skiers out in the mountains for quality fun!

How to get rid of a stuffy nose after swimming
  There are a couple of things to consider when trying to get rid of a stuffy nose after swimming.   Firstly, have you tried swimming in other pools or is this an issue everywhere you swim?

How to get more out of your swim drills
  There are some great drills than can make a huge impact on your swimming.And it’s my recommendation that you focus on using the best drills rather than using lots of different drills.   The problem with that approach is that doing the same drills can become boring, and worse still, they may no longer be able to continue to improve your...
How to improve your Ironman swim
  The Ironman swim (3.8km) is less than 10% of the race, and it’s this fact that often encourages age-groupers, who are good bikers and/or runners, to move up to the longer distance.   If you asked age-group Ironman (IM) athletes to rate the relative importance of the disciplines, it may be something like this: 42% run, 44% bike and 14% swim....

From Laws to Licenses: The Essential Guide to Flying Drones in the Great Outdoors
  Outdoor lovers often balk at bringing ever more technology into the outdoors — but as I learned when field-testing a new drone, an eye in the sky can add fun and improve access to outdoor spaces. But its imperative to do so respectfully by following drone laws and regulations.   So, when bringing drones into the great outdoors, there are two...
The simple trick that will transform your swim kick
  While it seems like it should be one of the simpler skills to learn in swimming, improving the kick can prove to be quite the challenge for many triathletes.   While most of the speed and propulsion comes from the upper body in freestyle swimming, the legs can be important in assisting body position and well as creating some extra propulsion....
A quick trick for more swim speed
  All triathlons are races, and so it always comes down to speed, even in the longest races.You have to speed to compete successfully.   And while endurance training is rightfully the emphasis of most training programmes, some triathletes forget about speed altogether.Skill is also key, particularly learning to create more length with each stroke – but that gets overlooked, too.   So...
How to improve endurance doing shorter swim reps
  Even the shortest triathlons are endurance events. That’s why triathletes spend most of their training time performing endurance swim activities.Longer is better!   And as most triathletes are aware, this can be a really effective strategy for cycling and running.The longer you go, the better you get.It’s no surprise then that many triathletes take the same approach to their swimming.The problem...
How to strengthen your wrists to improve your swim pull
  If you’ve been involved in triathlon for some time, and you’ve sought to improve your swimming, you’ve likely heard about swimming with a ‘dropped elbow’.
