    Cross country road trip

    In a few weeks, my girlfriend and I'll be embarking on a six week road trip across North America, and I'm hungry for some tips for surviving that much time living out of a car. I've done plenty of weekend car camping trips and slightly longer backpacking trips, but nothing quite like this. Since...

    Is there backcountry in Montana still?

    Me and two buddies are planning a cross country road trip after graduation two weeks from now. We're wondering if there is still any snow available around the Bozeman area since we have some friends who will be staying there this summer. If you know if somewhere else worth checking out, let me know.

    TR: Gothics North

    My snowboarding counterpart and I went to the beautiful Gothics Mountain in the Adirondacks last weekend, and it was pretty damn neat. We made a 4 mile approach along the John's Brook trail, which was sort of a pain cause the snow is really thin and half the trail was wiped out during Irene...

However, I'm wondering if removing the pole straps makes it more difficult on the uptrack since you lose the vertical support and loose grip offered by the...

    Tomahawkin'

    There's nothing like taking a good whipper on a pow day and doing 7-8 ski-free cartwheels down that perfect line you just spent half an hour scoping out. Getting hawked is really just the mountain's way of making you its bitch and telling you that you aren't good enough. As skiers, we ought to...

    Goats and skiers have more in common than you might think

    By far the steeziest of the farm animals, goats seem to be as comfortable throwing down and going big as some of the best pros. wallride - 180 redirect Wallride nose tap - transition bomb dropping a pillow line cork straight air? or just a huge shifty? The similarities are endless.

    What's that edit..?

    What's that edit that opens with the guy hitting a long line of boxes, probably 10 in a row, and he throws very simple but steezy tricks on all of them. Takes place in Keystone or Breck, I think.

    Skiing gift ideas?

    Are there any good rock bands left?

    I know I can't be the only one who gets a headache from listening to techno, and I'm not super into rap / hip hop either. I listen to almost exclusively classic rock, ranging from Pink Floyd to Motley Crue to the Ramones, and I just wish there was something fresh that still carried its roots in...
