Pro skier and Mountain Hardwear athlete Rachael Burks brings electric, ball-lightning enthusiasm to the slopes. I witnessed it first-hand in Jackson Hole, Wyo., in March, when I backcountry skied with her in Grand Teton National Park. She never stops beaming, laughs infectiously, and, of course, shreds so hard itll bring a tear to your eye to watch. 　　Its no wonder...

　　There are a lot of ways to experience the depth of a wild landscape: hiking, horseback riding, biking, off-roading. But none offer the same elegance and simplicity as paddling.

　　More and more vehicles are getting the ruggedized treatment and/or being created for real off-road adventures. Advertising around such vehicles continues to push the boundaries of responsible off-road use in the name of hyping a product. 　　I have a marketing degree, so I fully understand the need to show off and build excitement around a new product launch.
