Carcross Tagish and Nuxalk Heritage Drawing from Carcross Tagish and Nuxalk heritage, these designs blend traditional beadwork with a modern aesthetic. Featured on the Walking in Two […]
When Union first came out with split bindings, it was a tectonic shift in splitboarding. Their first round had pins, and its downhill pucks could shift a little. But hot damn did they ride downhill with the fire. Unions were the first ever split bindings I used that rode downhill like a standard solid. The […]
Choosing a women’s splitboard shouldn’t be about finding a “smaller, lighter” version of a men’s deck. It’s about finding a technical tool designed for the specific center of gravity, flex requirements, and boot sizes of female riders. During a time when more women than ever are taking the leap into the backcountry to find community […]
Whether you want more mobility in the backcountry on your next ski tour or just an easier time traversing the lodge during lunch, a pair of ski boots with a reliable walk mode is key. At Mountain Weekly News, we’ve spent over 15 years testing gear in the Teton Range—where a “short walk” often means a […]
E-bikes have fundamentally changed how we access the mountains, but they have also exposed a massive weakness in traditional gear: weight. In the Teton backcountry—where a “quick ride” often involves miles of washboard dirt roads and high-speed mountain passes—a standard bike rack simply won’t cut it. We’ve seen too many $5,000 electric bikes bouncing precariously off the […]
In Jackson Hole, we usually look for gear that excels in the extremes. But sometimes, the most valuable tool in your kit is the one that can handle everything from a muddy trailhead to a light construction site, and then pivot to a snow-covered morning walk. I’ve been putting the Nortiv 8 Men’s Waterproof Insulated […]
In Jackson Hole, your gear isn’t just about fashion—it’s about survival and performance. When you’re ripping deep powder in the Tetons or guiding clients into the backcountry, the last thing you want to deal with is a gear failure or, even worse, a fogged-up lens. I’ve been testing the Anon M4 Toric Goggles this season, and […]
Long gone are the days of only 1 or 2 companies manufacturing splitboard bindings. The splitboard industry continues to grow as does the innovations in splitboading and splitboard bindings specifically. We have been testing splitboard bindings in the Teton backcountry for over 15 years—from the early days of pins and plates to the latest carbon-fiber […]
Music and mountains go together like boots and bindings. Whether you need a high-energy playlist to hype you up for a cliff drop or a mellow podcast for the skin track, having the right audio setup is essential. Gone are the days of jamming painful plastic earbuds under a beanie. Today, most riders use audio-ready snowboard […]
The first time I slid my feet into these Kolo Willer House Shoes, it was pretty obvious they were offering a higher level of comfort. Calling them “cozy” almost feels like an understatement. The inside of the slipper is made of soft faux-fur and surrounded by a very classy corduroy and not stopping there the […]
