　　Ultralight, four-season tent for winter adventures near treeline

　　Built to be the ultimate shelter for backcountry skiers, splitboarders and snowshoers, the MSR Access 2 tent is lighter than a mountaineering tent, but warmer than a 3-season backpacking tent. Limited mesh on the tent body offers greater warmth on frigid nights, while the light and packable design saves you precious energy on the climb and descent. The interior is spacious for changing clothes, and the strong frame resists overnight snow loading. Quick to set up, the tent offers the protection needed for camping in less severe conditions, such as those near treeline—making it perfect for accessing the bowls, ridges and powder fields above.

Footprint sold separately.

Mud Season Is Coming. Are You Ready to Survive It?

　　Whenever I encounter mud puddles on a trail, I flash back to one of the best-loved books of my 1990s childhood, We’re Going On A Bear Hunt. After contending with tall grass and a river, the characters in the book find themselves facing their latest obstacle, “thick, oozy mud.” “We can’t go over it, we can’t go under it,” they...

Unicorns Are Real: Atomic Maven Skis Review

　　It’s a spring day at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort when I click into the Atomic Maven 94 CTI at the top of Bridger Gondola.

The Best Fishing Hats of 2025

　　What in the world is a fishing hat? That term seems like something a marketing team would create to target old men who are bored in retirement.
