The mercury may be rising, but that doesn’t mean you have to hang up your skis (or snowboard) for the season. Many resorts across the country still get snow and remain open through April — through May — and beyond! Some mountains even have summer hours (and yes, we mean for skiing and riding). Here [...]

The right ski goggles on the right ski day can make or break your adventure. Got a pair that fogs up constantly or digs into the bridge of your nose? Ugh. How can you possibly focus on your form and all that pow when you’re distracted by the failure on your face?  Before I started [...]

I was influenced. I don’t remember her name, but there she was on Tik Tok doing a #GRWM (“get ready with me”) video before her ski day. I followed along, mentally matching her gear with my own.  Merino base layers, top and bottom. Check.  Fleece quarter-zip mid-layer. Check.  Down capri pants… Wait, what?! I had [...]

While many of us already use our phones to shoot in-action selfies while out on the slopes, sometimes we want more… data. These 10 apps log runs, track elevation, predict conditions and map your location on the mountain all while you cut and shush. You won’t want to ski or ride without them! The App: [...]

Last week, a hiker on New Hampshire’s Mount Washington managed to film the terrifying moment in which a snowboarder and skier were nearly engulfed by an avalanche.  The hiker, RJ Phipps, was walking along Mount Washington’s Tuckerman Ravine on February 25, 2023. He had just lifted his camera to capture some photos of the scenery [...]

It’s every parent’s dream: Cruising down a ski slope on a bluebird day with your happy kids shushing right along next to you. But the reality is it could take many seasons to get there: Learning a new skill is tough (for anyone!) let alone a small human extra sensitive to cold, prone to meltdowns [...]

Learning how to layer in the winter seems simple, but can be a challenging skill to master. You want—and need—to be warm, but we’re often moving through a mix of activities and intensity levels which adds complexity, like actively hiking to a lookout then sitting still in the cold. The best way to stay warm [...]
