The Anti Ordinary A2 Helmet is exactly that, anti-ordinary. But what else would you expect from our slightly crazy cousins in Australia? Unsatisfied with the status quo in the snowsports helmet market, and motivated by a significant crash of his own, founder Rob Joseph set out to design a helmet that was safe, comfortable, and […]
The Never Summer Proto T3 Eclipse isn’t just another board in the quiver; it’s a high-performance throwback to the roots of a Colorado powerhouse. Featuring the original “Eclipse” logo from the early days, this deck might look like a tribute, but the technology under the hood is strictly from the 21st century. At Mountain Weekly News, […]
As an elk hunter based in the Tetons, my gear is a massive investment. I recently put the Plano Diverge Series Rifle Case through the wringer for my fall hunt (read that review here), and while that case is my go-to for rugged transport, I needed a secondary “insurance policy” for the home. When you […]
Firstly, The best thing about the Manitobah Tipi Suede Moccasins is that it directly supports the Indigenous community. Manitoba was founded in Winnipeg in 1997. Per Manitobah’s website: “By Purchasing from us, you are participating in cultural appreciation, not cultural appropriation. When you purchase from Manitobah, you are directly supporting Indigenous people and celebrating Indigenous […]
The Tetons don’t exactly go easy on gear, and the Anon Merak Wavecel Helmet was put through the absolute ringer for this review. From the high-alpine exposure of Grand Teton National Park to the steep, technical glades of Teton Pass and the rugged, wind-whipped ridgelines of the Snake River Range, I gave this helmet no […]
“The perfect freeride board doesn’t exi………….” I’ve always used Never Summer snowboards as my go to, early season, “rock boards”. They are known to be tough as nails, and the boards I choose to ride are often multi camber profiles, and high on the dampness scale. I think, “there’s rock out there, and I’m still […]
The Optimus Crux Lite Solo Cook System is a lightweight, packable stove paired with nonstick aluminum Terra Solo cookware, making it an ideal option for those looking to travel far and fast. With the full setup—stove, pot and lid —weighing just 10.5 oz, it sits comfortably alongside other ultralight systems. I’ve tested a wide range […]
I recently took the YES. Pick Your Line XTRM out for some hot laps at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort following a solid dump of fresh snow. As someone who tests boards for a living and has ridden well over 100 different decks, I don’t say this lightly: this snowboard has officially become my daily driver […]
Over the years as I’ve traveled around to different ski regions, I noticed certain areas have a seem to have a dominant goggle brand that most locals tend to gravitate towards. Jackson, WY (where I have spent 15 years living and riding) has always been a Smith town. This Smith Google was picked for this […]
After spending decades running traditional straps, I was curious to see how Jones Snowboards would integrate the new FASE technology into their lineup. Built on the back of the NOW Binding design, the Jones Mercury FASE is a hybrid snowboarding binding that attempts to bridge the gap between “locked-in” response and the convenience of quick […]
