    Fly Rods: Small Brands?

    So my crappy Cabelas fly rod finally broke after a solid decade of use, and seeing as many small companies are suffering, I figured it could be a good opportunity to support a smaller business rather than just getting another cheap rod from a big brand. Admittedly, I don't want to spend more...

    Your Favorite Non-Waterproof Leather Mitts / Gloves

    I've come to the conclusion that for me and skiing in Colorado, a leather mitt / glove without a waterproof insert works best for 99% of my skiing. My hands get way less sweaty than in a waterproof glove, and it's barely ever wet enough here to warrant a full waterproof glove. Especially since...

    Your favorite inbounds / resort photographers

    I primarily shoot in the resort, mostly non-park stuff, and I'm trying to find new inspiration because shooting the same runs over and over again has led to me resorting to a lot of the same shots / styles / angles. But most of the photographers I look to for inspiration are almost always...

    Mountain bikers who are also good skiers (and vice versa)

    It's summer, I'm bored, and I got to thinking about how it seems like every #socialmediaskier bikes during the summer, and many of them are very good (e.g., KC Deane, Dylan Siggers). So on the flipside, are there any people out there who are better known for their biking but who can also rip on...

    Are you / anyone you know looking for a place to live in Denver? (Highlands area)

    I'm moving out of my place in Denver and figured I'd check if any skiers out there are looking for a place. Rent is $665 + utilities, which usually equates to $710-$730 total per month. Place is 5 bedrooms, and you'd have 3 dude roommates who are all very chill, outdoorsy people. The place is...

    Cheap Lodging in Mammoth and Tahoe

    Planning to hit Mammoth and Squaw this spring break and am currently on the lodging search. There will be 3 of us, so I'm guessing hotel rooms will be the cheapest, but I don't know anything about either area so does anyone have any suggestions/experience?

    Why are Touring Boot Soles so Soft?

    After chewing through a few of the rubber soles on my touring boots while scrambling around in the alpine, I continue to wonder why companies put such soft rubber on their boots. While my ski boots' soles are torn apart, the soles on my mountaineering boots (scarpa phantom guides) are doing just...

    Minor Delamination Repair

    So I recently noticed a ~4 inch section of my ski that is delaminating underfoot. The gap between the base and sidewall is barely noticeable, probably less than a millimeter. I have some epoxy and clamps ready to go for the repair, but I don't think I'll be able to get much of the epoxy in deep...

    Sage skiing on Dynastar??

    Smith's home page header image (can't get it to embed) shows what appears to be Sage sporting their new Quantum helmet while holding a pair of Dynastar Cham 2.0 117's (pretty obvious despite the duct tape) He has still been riding Atomic Backlands in all of his footage from this year, so maybe...
