When skier Noah Dines answered my phone call in late November, he was skinning up a 400-vertical foot stretch of artificial snow at Waterville Valley Resort in central New Hampshire. Anyone who skis uphill at a resort knows the activity is pretty uninspiring, akin to running on a treadmill, but Dines didnt care—he was chasing a record. If you caught...

　　I know Im a little snooty when it comes to shotguns. But darned if the ATA Arms NEO X Max-7, a sub-$550 semi-auto shotgun, won me over and quickly. Simply put, this might be the best value in shotguns today, shoot maybe ever. 　　So before I get into why I find the ATA Arms NEO X Max-7 so freaking good,...

　　The term “scrambler” doesn’t mean much these days. Unlike the scramblers of old, which were street bikes converted for off-road use, today’s scramblers are typically just restyled versions of existing models with little to no meaningful improvements made for off-road riding. 　　Pretty much every major manufacturer has done this in one form or another, from BMW’s RnineT Scrambler to Honda’s...

　　If youre anything like we are, you have a dozen different lip balms stashed throughout your house in coat pockets, backpacks, tote bags, and bathroom drawers. There are probably a few in your car, too, melting in cupholders or tucked into the console. Not all these lip products are created equal: some leave a weird white cast, and others taste...

　　With so many Black Friday sales, it can be hard to know where to look. As a hunter, it can be tough shopping this time of year. Most of us are spending as much time in the field as we can. For anglers, you may just find a bit more time to browse, but where do you even begin? 　　We...

　　For the record, you shouldnt judge a beer by its can — but as Paul The BeerJunkie Pabst proves, sometimes a great brew can be as beautiful on the outside as it is in the first sip. 　　This week, Pabst has two brews (part of his Two-fer Holiday Special) that couldnt be more different. From Cleveland, Great Lakes Brewings Dortmunder...

　　You know what they say: Good shades aint cheap. I was a gas station sunglass wearer for most of my life until I actually had a nice pair of sunglasses. It was like looking through an open window after years of staring through dirty glass. Never will I go back. 　　That being said, theres a cost to clarity. Luckily for...

　　Author’s note: I do not mean to minimize the negative effects that actual cults have had on many people. Please take the following with the levity with which it was penned. 　　“I don’t know what you mean by “cult,” just because I own 3 Durston tents and am saving for another …” 　　— Rob Rice, posted on the Durston Gearheads...

　　Shaun White’s snowboarding bona fides are unmatched. Over the course of his career, he racked up three Olympic gold medals on top of 13 X Games victories and forged a legacy as arguably the most well-known and decorated rider of all time. But competitive success is only the beginning of White’s journey. Having pushed board-riding boundaries for more than 20...

　　Within the tight knit community of ski mountaineers, a handful of descents stand alone in terms of sheer difficulty. In 1980, Frenchman Jean-Marc Boivin became the first person to ski down the Matterhorns treacherous east face. In 1995, Canadians Ptor Spriceniek and Troy Jungen pulled a coup on the north face of British Columbias 12,972-foot Mount Robson. And in 2012, Swedens Andreas...
