A gondola car carrying eight people detached from its cable at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, British Columbia, on March 10. According to witnesses, the Golden Eagle Express car fell about 10 feet after departing from the lower terminal at 9:20 a.m. No one was seriously injured, but passengers were trapped for several minutes, and the patrol manually evacuated every...

　　In 2024, 1.3 million EVs were sold in the USA; globally, that number jumped to 17.1 million. It’s safe to say that EVs are no longer a novelty. I’d long said that when pickup trucks — often the bestselling vehicle type in the country — started being sold as fully electric, we’d know they had caught on. 　　Ford, GMC, Rivian, Tesla, and...

　　Back in 2021, I wrote about the case of Daniel Granberg, a 24-year-old from Colorado who died at the summit of a Bolivian mountain called Illimani of what turned out to be high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). What was notable about the incident was that Illimani is only 21,122 feet above sea level, well below the notorious Death Zone, which starts...

　　From hero to zero? Elon Musk has long had a loyal following, but where the billionaire was once hailed for his David versus Goliath assault on the established automotive order, many now fault the South African entrepreneur for his political turn to the far right — and, in particular, his controversial role as head of the Trump administration’s Department of...

　　Here’s how bedtime in camp goes in your mind: After a long day exploring some beautiful, wild place, you settle in around the campfire, favorite beverage in hand. Your eyes get droopy as you watch the sun set and stars begin to blink on. Finally, you snuggle into your cozy sleeping bag, yawning once before dropping off to sleep immediately...

　　Last September, I attended From Field to Table, a wild game butchering course hosted by Outdoor Solutions, an all-in-one training and outfitter referral service for people who want to get started hunting. After conservation, the purpose of hunting is to put the healthiest, most sustainable, and ethically harvested meat on your dinner table. So when I got the chance to elevate...

　　Behold! Classic trips have been reconsidered—you’ve gawked at the Grand Canyon, but have you run it from rim to rim?—while new destinations have caught our eye. This year we’re joining the revelers at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater, trekking up Mexico’s tallest volcano, paddling through the world’s brightest bioluminescence off Puerto Rico, hiking Canada’s wildest coastal way, and much more. What...

　　I have a secret fascination with the Mount Washington Observatory (MWOB), the weather station situated atop Americas windiest mountain. 　　Every few days, the scientists living inside the MWOB publish an observation blog or an Instagram post about the extreme conditions on the 6,288-foot peak, and the photos or videos always boggle my mind. Plunging temperatures mixed with fog will occasionally...

　　Most fishing pack manufacturers have been following the same pattern with new products: increased technology and increased prices. In the past, Umpqua Feather Merchants was one of the leaders in this trend. Its prior line of packs, the Zs2, was one of the most feature-rich, advanced packs on the market. The new Northfork Chest Pack bucks the trend and offers...

　　I know I could have planned things better. Im holding the working end of a line of twine that will become a delightfully hipster sunglasses hanger in my apartment. But in true Adam fashion, I embarked on the project before really thinking through the process. 　　One end of the twine is secured to a Command Hook while I pinch the...

　　When Scott Bauwens’s sister-in-law was first diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia a few years ago, he set a simple goal. He’d fundraise for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), but only for a single campaign. Then, duty done, he’d go back to business as usual. But during that first campaign, something happened that changed his life. He started to meet...
