Featherweight Binding, Big-Mountain Power: Salomon MTN Pure/Atomic Backland Tour Bindings Review
  Clicking into the MTNP Pure (whether you’ve purchased under the Salomon or Atomic brand name) makes it sound pure. It’s everything you need to feel confident, nothing you don’t. I’ve never skied so hard on touring bindings, and I didn’t even think about it.   I ripped groomers on early ups at Steamboat in the morning alpenglow. I shralped perfectly spaced...
Arches National Park’s Fiery Furnace Closes as Staff Shortages Mount
  Arches National Park posted an alert on its website on March 23, announcing that the Fiery Furnace would be closed to visitors for the foreseeable future.   No ranger-led tours nor self-guided permits will be issued until further notice, read the park closure alert. We look forward to offering these services soon.   The closure is due to reduced staffing at the...
Mount Everest Ban of Unsupported Climbers Won’t Affect 2025 Season
  Guide services for Mount Everest and other Nepalese 8,000m peaks have confirmed that new measures that make a Sherpa guide compulsory will not kick in before September at the earliest. Unsupported (or solo) climbers can now proceed as planned for the 2025 season. This is a relief, as climbers plan far in advance for any expedition to this area and...
Patagonia Launches Adaptable, Lightweight, Snow-Shedding Pack: PowSlayer Ski Backpack Review
  I waited above the powdery roller while several snowboarders and skiers in my crew dropped one by one down the short, open pitch. Each rider ollied, popping a few feet above the fresh snow before falling out of view. Our group of testers met in Silverton, Colo., to grind vertically in Patagonias new head-to-toe kit, which included one of my...
The Best Fishing Hats of 2025
  What in the world is a fishing hat? That term seems like something a marketing team would create to target old men who are bored in retirement. In the past, those were the only people we knew who had a hat specifically for a day of fishing. We just wore whatever hat we had lying around.   Thats a bit of...

Why I Couldn’t Resist the Colorado Trail’s Cursed Charm
  It was somewhere around the third or fourth storm on the tenth day of my first attempt at the Colorado Trail that I began to question my sanity.   I was drenched nearly to my internal organs, my pack probably five or 500 pounds heavier than before the sky began throwing its endless tantrum. So much hail had come down over...
Try It to Buy It: Near Zero Launches Backpacking Gear Rental Program
  Its not the mileage, inclines, or creepy crawlies that can scare off new backpackers fastest — its the cost of gear. The hefty price tag associated with collecting backpacking equipment is a reasonable hesitation. Its also hard to know if you love overnight backpacking without the gear to try it first.   Thats why Near Zero launched its backpacking gear rental...
How Bone Broth Helps to Optimize Your Post-Workout Recovery
  Last year, a friend of mine, who is a nutritionist, recommended that I try drinking bone broth to help optimize my performance. I didnt think too much of it at the time, as guzzling the stock made from animal bones didnt sound all that appetizing to me, especially before or after a big workout.   I tabled the advice and didn’t think...

Unicorns Are Real: Atomic Maven Skis Review
  It’s a spring day at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort when I click into the Atomic Maven 94 CTI at the top of Bridger Gondola. The sun has barely kissed the slopes, and the corduroy is crisp and untouched. I drop over the edge of the flats onto the slope and carve my first snowy arc of the day.   I slice...
He Tried to Hike the Appalachian Trail on a $1,000 Budget. Here’s What He Learned.
  Jack Jones was not a cheat-code kid.   When he played computer games like World of Warcraft or EverQuest, Jones always wanted to know about the next level, where the struggles and the stakes would both be a bit higher. This characteristic hasnt changed. Jones, now 38, is better known as Quadzilla, a hiking powerhouse famous not only for the gams...
