For someone who’s not a pilot, I spend a lot of time in airplanes. And it just so happened that, while awaiting takeoff in Chicago, my phone buzzed with a press release from Marathon Watches. 　　The company’s popular Navigator line, the SSNAV Auto, had come to market with a new white-dialed, Arctic Edition. The photos showed what I’d come to...

　　With two kids under 3 and a full-time job, my training windows are short and precious. Most of my runs are 5 to 6 miles from the house, linking into a network of dirt and crushed-gravel roads that twist and roll through the foothills. Those runs tend to be fast — tempo and threshold efforts more often than not —...

　　All of the trip reports I was reading told me I was foolish for bringing a down sleeping bag to Gates of the Arctic National Park. The entire park is a bog — good luck. Not to mention our intention to paddle down two rivers during the trip, packing away all of our insulation inside our boats for the ride....

　　It took a meeting with HR to figure it out. But Im now carrying Benchmades newest old-school knife, the Successor, in a unique fashion. 　　It took a pair of slightly tight pants to finally push me over the top. After a few weeks of carrying the very pretty Benchmade Successor inside a handsome sheath in my front pocket, I just...

　　The wind cut across the valley, and snow hissed sideways as I clipped into my Nordic skis for one last lap. The temperature had dropped quickly, bringing a dry, biting cold that made breath freeze midair. 　　When I stopped to refuel, the cold hit hard.

In the process, he bagged a first descent and entered the...
