REVIEW: Sweet Bushwacker 2vi Helmet
Sweet Bushwacker 2vi Helmet $250 // 6 colors / S, M/L, L/XL Sweet has leaned on the Bushwacker for a minute now as their premiere trail lid, and now it’s back. Features The new Bushwacker offers increased protection and coverage over the previous model. It even complies with all E-Bike standards for those using boosted bikes. Still continuing MIPS usage, it’s even preventative against low and high-speed spills. One of my favorite features is the visor locking system that Sweet integrates. Some helmets use funky little adjustment screws that always seem to come loose. Some have visors that don’t go […]

A Price Point Mountain Bike You Can Actually Ride
A Price Point Mountain Bike You Can Actually Ride Finding your first real mountain bike is one of the hardest things about gear buying. Do you get something more expensive? Do you need a full suspension? Is it a good deal? So many questions that require answers, and most of those answers are entirely too subjective. First and foremost, I truly believe if everyone on earth was only allowed to own one bicycle for their entire life, it should be a front suspension mountain bike, AKA a hardtail. These bikes open up vast terrain, are relatively low maintenance, and are […]

Favorite Technical Hoodie Ever
Favorite Technical Hoodie Ever This little company called IBEX is well known for making some of the best merino wool layers on the market and has excelled in doing so for some time now. I never thought I’d be entering them in as a submission for “Favorite Technical Hoodie Ever” – but here we are. The IBEX Wool AIRE Hoody ($285 MSRP) I got sent this hoody back in November to do some testing – and honestly thought it would end up being a “twice-used” deal for someone else on eBay before I tried it on. Incorrect assumptions are a […]

Is Ski Journalism Dead?
Is Ski Journalism Dead? Is ski journalism dead? Yes, and I killed it. However, I alone am not fully responsible for the charges of journalistic manslaughter. I had plenty of accomplices. Ski resort consolidation, mega-passes, big-tech, social media, climate change, short term housing rentals, emojis, the economy, and you! We all have some amount of blood our your hands. But, for better or worse no hard time will be served. And just maybe together we can resuscitate the shit out of it and bring back some good ole fashioned ski stories. No Time There has been no time in history […]

Mikaela Shiffrin Is Now The G.O.A.T’ist Skier of All Time!
Mikaela Shiffrin Is Now The G.O.A.T’ist Skier of All Time! It’s official. Mikaela Shiffrin is now the goat’est skier in history. Saturday’s slalom win on Saturday, broke Ingemar Stenmark’s all time record for World Cup victories. His 86 victories stood atop the mountain for 34 years before Shiffrin’s 87th win, 12 years to the day after her very first, and two days shy of her 28th birthday. And while Ingemar’s run was legendary and dominate, his last victory came at the tail end of his storied career. Shiffrin has never been more in her prime than she has this season. […]

Shout Out Jessie Diggins!
Jessie Diggins Wins World Championship Gold! You know the terrible part of skiing where you awkwardly duck walk up hill and get exhausted. Cross country skiing is that. Just that. But done for distance and time and it’s considered a competitive sport. It’s what telemarker skiers would do if they were athletic. Is it stupid? Yes. Is it stupid hard? Also yes. It’s probably the reason us fat lazy Americans aren’t all that good at it on a global scale. And until today no man or woman had ever won a gold medal at the World Championships. Enter Jessie frickin […]
