Mooncool has officially returned from the 2026 Sea Otter Classic with a new flagship: the Mooncool TK2. While we’ve spent the last few years testing the TK1 and the heavy-duty TK Pro in the steep, often snowy streets of Jackson, Wyoming, the TK2 represents a significant technical evolution. Marketed with the mantra “More Comfort, More Confidence, […]
Coming from K2’s Landscape collection of all mountain snowboards, the 2027 Commonwealth is an all-terrain/all-conditions weapon. Intended for top to bottom laps where the entire mountain is viewed through a freestyle lens. While most at home charging the nastiest and steepest lines at full speed or riding pow, this board is perfectly comfortable laping the […]
Most e-bikes are built to help you cruise the neighborhood. The Talon T787 is built to conquer the mountains. At Mountain Weekly News, we put gear through the ringer in the high-elevation, variable terrain of the Tetons, and this bike—a literal “beast” of a machine—is one of the most robust “e-motos” we’ve ever swung a leg over. […]
It’s no secret to those who know me that I’m a Union fan boy. I’ve tried almost every binding in their line and currently ride a few pairs of the classic Force, the Stratus, and a set of Falcor’s from a few years back. I also had the Atlas the year it came out, as […]
Most e-bikes are trying to look like high-end mountain bikes. The Retrospec Valen Rev 3 goes the other way, leaning into a classic American moto-design that feels like a vintage cafe racer. We put this bike through the ringer on the dirt, gravel, and paved pathways of the Tetons to see how it actually stacks up. Moto […]
A true life “daily driver”. I have been riding Burton boards for decades now and I hate to sound biased but… they are my favorite brand and all the gear they make is top-quality. The amount of research and development they have put behind these products is unmatched in the industry. And it’s clearly evident […]
From Skate Heritage to Alpine Utility Vans was founded in 1966 in Anaheim, California, the brand started by manufacturing shoes and selling them directly to the public from its first factory and storefront on the same day. In the 1970s, Vans became closely connected to Southern California’s skateboarding culture. Skaters embraced the brand’s durable canvas […]
Armada Snowboards? Yep, you read that right, for the 26-27 Winter Season, Armada is entering the Snowboard side of the Snowsports industry for the first time. With several longtime riders from the industry jumping aboard to launch and run the snowboard side, factories specific to snowboards, and a team of pro riders that are about […]
The e-bike arms race is officially in full swing, and Euybike is throwing a heavy-weight punch with the K6 Pro Max. This is our 6th time working with the brand, and we’ve watched them evolve from entry-level commuters to building what I can only describe as “two-wheeled tanks.” After pushing this bike to its limits on […]
It’s been a minute since I’ve ridden a Rossignol Snowboard. I worked closely with their team during the early 2000s filming T Rice, Jeremy Jones, Beaman, Scotty Arnold, and Jonas Emery. So needless to say all I rode for like 5 years were Rossignol boards. I loved them. And for no other reason but the […]
