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 […]

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.
