  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.

Love Hurts. Loving Skiing Hurts More.
  I have often joked that skiing is a jealous lover. I spend all my money on her. When she’s around, all my free time is devoted to her, too.

How Cold Weather Saps Your Endurance
  The human body is an engine with efficiency similar to a car engine. In both cases, about three-quarters of the energy consumed is released as heat. That’s why it’s easy to heat the interior of a car: just blow some of that heat from the engine into the cabin. And it’s why endurance athletes worry a lot about getting too...

  It might seem like a no-brainer, but there’s a big difference between winter tires and all-season spinners. Thats what I learned after participating in a recent winter driving test on the snowy, windswept expanse of Yellowstone Airport.
