  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.

He Tried to Hike the Appalachian Trail on a $1,000 Budget. Here’s What He Learned.

When he played computer games like World of Warcraft or EverQuest, Jones always wanted to know about the next level, where the struggles and the stakes would both be a bit higher. This characteristic hasnt changed. Jones, now 38, is better known as Quadzilla, a hiking powerhouse famous not only for the gams...
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 sun has barely kissed the slopes, and the corduroy is crisp and untouched. I drop over the edge of the flats onto the slope and carve my first snowy arc of the day.   I slice...
Featherweight Binding, Big-Mountain Power: Salomon MTN Pure/Atomic Backland Tour Bindings Review
  Clicking into the MTNP Pure (whether you’ve purchased under the Salomon or Atomic brand name) makes it sound pure. It’s everything you need to feel confident, nothing you don’t. I’ve never skied so hard on touring bindings, and I didn’t even think about it.   I ripped groomers on early ups at Steamboat in the morning alpenglow. I shralped perfectly spaced...

Road-Ready Rally Cars: 2025 Subaru WRX tS vs. 2025 Toyota GR Corolla
  A powerful turbocharged engine, road-gripping all-wheel drive, and a slick-shifting manual transmission. Together, they create the holy trinity of sought-after automotive enthusiast combinations. Hallelujah!   This sacred formula may conjure up rally fantasies of perfectly executed Scandinavian flicks around snowy corners, blasts through tree-lined stages at breakneck speeds, and crests over dirt hills at dizzying velocities. Even if buyers of boosted...
Patagonia Launches Adaptable, Lightweight, Snow-Shedding Pack: PowSlayer Ski Backpack Review
  I waited above the powdery roller while several snowboarders and skiers in my crew dropped one by one down the short, open pitch. Each rider ollied, popping a few feet above the fresh snow before falling out of view. Our group of testers met in Silverton, Colo., to grind vertically in Patagonias new head-to-toe kit, which included one of my...
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. In the past, those were the only people we knew who had a hat specifically for a day of fishing. We just wore whatever hat we had lying around.   Thats a bit of...
