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. This year marks the 60th anniversary of Smith Optics, […]
Greetings from the floor of the North Hall in Las Vegas. If CES 2025 was the year Bluetti dominated the portable market with the Handsfree Backpack, CES 2026 is the year they proved that the future of power is both smarter and significantly greener. At Booth #9837, the atmosphere was electric—literally. While a DJ kept the crowd […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
