Whippet
$119.96
Description

  Removable pick and durable aluminum construction

  Built for steep ski or splitboard terrain that requires extra traction, the Whippet is now improved with a removable steel pick. Using the innovative ClickLock Dial, you can attach the pick to add a margin of safety for icy bootpacks and no-fall descents, and then remove it for shredding low-angle powder in the backcountry. With its three-section packability, the Whippet is stowable, making it ideal for splitboarding excursions, while its redesigned FlickLock Pro adjustability is now lighter, stronger and easier to use, with a more durable, forged aluminum construction.

  Sold individually.

Footprint sold separately.

Essential Survival: How to Avoid Bears
  Bear encounters are not uncommon in the backcountry. Attacks, fortunately, are somewhat rare but can happen when humans encroach into habitats where bears roam.

All-Day Comfort for Serious Saddle Hunters: Latitude Method 3 Review
  Getting an opportunity at a good deer requires a lot of time in the woods. Sometimes it’s not about how far you can go, but how long you can stay in the tree. It doesn’t matter how light your treestand or saddle is; if it’s not comfortable, you’ll dream up every reason to call it quits early.   I’ve had the...

Wisconsin’s ‘Snowiest Resort’ Declares Bankruptcy After Second Snowless Season
  Snowless winters are a bummer for skiers and riders, but for resort operators, they can spell disaster. Wisconsins Whitecap Mountains Resort (WMR) is learning that harsh truth firsthand. On Nov. 19, the resort, once named the snowiest ski area in the state, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after two consecutive low-snowfall seasons torpedoed its revenue.   During the 2022/23 ski...
$15 Million Bounty for Olympic Snowboarder Turned ‘Drug Kingpin’
  A former Olympian from Canada has now become one of the most wanted men by U.S. prosecutors. Ryan Wedding, 44, a snowboarder on Canadas Olympic team in 2002, ran a multibillion-dollar criminal enterprise for years, according to the FBI.   He faced major drug charges and was placed on the FBIs 10 Most Wanted list. Last week, federal prosecutors added new...
At 13 Ounces, Active Midlayer Offers Surprising Warmth: Arc’teryx Atom Hoody Review
  A handful of items live in my backcountry ski pack all season, regardless of where Im going or how long I ski. The list includes a waterproof and windproof shell, Voile ski straps, an avi shovel and probe, a pair of glacier goggles, a bar of skin wax, a hand tool, and, as of last spring, I added the Arcteryx...
Top Hiking Shoe Gets GORE-TEX ‘Invisible Fit’ Update: Oboz Katabatic LT Low GTX Review
  Its not often I seek out trails with puddles and creeks, but thats what you do when testing out low-cut waterproof hiking shoes. Its an important part of my search for a hybrid shoe thats dialed for hikers, and not necessarily for ultra runners.   The Oboz Katabatic is a great example of a boot brands take on the hybrid hiking...
Ultralight Jacket Packs Alpaca Fiber Insulation: PAKA Mayu Review
  Whenever I pack for a fall backpacking or climbing trip, I always go back and forth about whether I should bring one item: a puffy jacket. Carrying one takes up space and adds some (arguably negligible) weight. During shoulder seasons, I often wonder if it’s really worth bothering.   After testing the PAKA Mayu Ultralight jacket, however, my internal debate over...
How One Deer Hunt Changed My Perspective on Death, Empathy, and Food
  I still haven’t forgotten the eyes of the first animal I ever killed.   When I was 10 years old, my dad took me dove hunting near our home in South Texas. This seemed a natural evolution, I imagine, given that he’d shown my brother and me how to handle his .370 rifle and 20-gauge shotgun.   I took deep satisfaction from...
The Best Hunting Tents of 2025
  You know hunting season has arrived when you wake up and feel the first brisk morning chill of the year. Hunters across the nation begin preparation for not only chasing their hunting dreams but also spending more than a fair share of nights out in the hills. And while some have campers to bring along, most folks are breaking out...
Burly Belt Could Replace Your Running Vest: Raide Research LF 2L
  I was halfway into my 4-hour mountain run in Alaska’s Chugach Range as I crested the next ridge on my route. My run had taken me from sea level, up a 4,000-foot climb in 2 miles, and off-trail into an alpine valley, where another ridgeline, summit, and multi-thousand-foot descent separated me from completing my loop. It was September, and while...
