The original Yakima OnRamp quickly became one of our favorite ways to transport heavy e-bikes thanks to one simple feature: a built-in loading ramp. Instead of deadlifting a 70-pound e-bike chest high onto a rack, you simply roll it into place. The new Yakima OnRamp LX builds on that formula with a stronger chassis, higher […]
Snowboarders spend all winter building edge control, ankle strength, core stability and board feel, only to lose some of that sharpness once the snow melts. Surfing and skateboarding require the same thing: constant micro-adjustments through the feet, ankles, knees, hips and core. That is where balance boards come in. At Mountain Weekly News, we have […]
The cargo e-bike world is exploding right now, but very few brands actually understand how families ride bikes in the real world. Xtracycle does. After more than 25 years building cargo bikes, the California-based brand continues refining what made them famous in the first place: intuitive handling, practical utility and bikes that genuinely replace car […]
Finding the best sunglasses for the mountains is about more than style; it’s about performance in a landscape that offers no mercy to low-quality optics. At 10,000 feet, UV radiation is significantly more intense, and a Teton Pass whiteout can leave you blind without the right technical lenses. We don’t do “office-chair reviews” here. Our collective of […]
Fly fishing gear has evolved far beyond the old-school vest, rusty nippers, and hand-me-down fiberglass rods. Today’s best fly fishing gear is lighter, stronger, more organized, and designed specifically for the technical demands of western rivers like the Snake, Madison, Yellowstone, Green, and Flat Creek. Whether you’re building your first trout setup, shopping for premium […]
Yoga has evolved far beyond the traditional studio setting. What was once primarily practiced inside quiet rooms with incense and hardwood floors has expanded into mountain towns, climbing gyms, alpine lakes, heated studios, recovery centers, and even floating paddle board docks. Today’s yogis are blending mobility, recovery, strength, breathwork, outdoor wellness, and athletic performance into […]
Red light therapy has gone from niche wellness trend to something I believe will become as common in recovery as ibuprofen, compression, ice, heat, massage guns and electrolyte mixes. Give it five years — hopefully less — and when athletes get banged up, tweaked, sore or overworked, “go hit the red light” will be part […]
In a valley now known for billionaires, private clubs, luxury compounds, ski resorts, and celebrity sightings, one of Jackson Hole’s most authentic high-country traditions still happens quietly beneath the Tetons every summer weekend: polo. Not Aspen polo. Not Palm Beach polo. Not derby hats and champagne-only exclusivity. Jackson Hole polo is different. Here, you’re just […]
This isn’t just another corporate concert announcement. For me, this is deeply personal. Before I was testing technical outdoor gear in the Tetons or running Mountain Weekly News, I spent a decade working on the production side of the music industry. I cut my teeth as a Production Assistant at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado—one […]
When it comes to everyday urban commuting, grocery runs, or cruising around mountain ski town, a heavy, aggressive e-mountain bike is usually overkill. Most riders don’t need knobs designed for loose shale; they need comfort, utility, and absolute simplicity. The Retrospec Beaumont Rev+ steps into the city commuter market by taking the brand’s classic Euro-style […]
