Whether it’s perfecting a park jump, destroying moguls or clocking record high racing speeds, skiers and riders are always vying to be the most extreme.

Some people burn money on fancy shoes or the latest gagdget for their endeavor of choice, but 66 year old Yong Chun Kim burned one and five dollar bills (and leaves, toothbrush and socks too) to stay warm while lost on Mt. Ranier. Kim became separated from the snowshoeing group he led after sliding down a steep embankment.

  When you’re skiing you want you eyes focused solely on the prize – shredding the nastiest lines, stomping moguls and feeling like you’re flying. However, when your vision is clouded by fog or muddled by flat light your chances of killing it on the mountain fall to zero. Plus, your sensitive little peepers a

Bicycling while clutching a guitar or banjo can be an awkward experience. Your balance gets thrown off by the weight of the instrument while its awkward shape impedes navigation. So what’s a pedal-prone musician to do? One option that works well is to get a soft case that can be worn as a backpack. But for those looki

“Apocalypse Later, Surf Now” is a dark, gritty short featuring a group of surfers that choose to ride waves as the world around them erupts in a futuristic battle.

A new yoga video posted on YouTube inspires tens of thousands to pursue the practice. But it seems that many others find it sexually provocative, disrespectful of the female form and an affront to the principles of mindful movement. Personally I was more than a little shocked to discover that the 3 minute 29 second film pro

Here’s a wild video to help kill two minutes of your workday. I won’t even pretend to say I understand what’s going on here other than the obvious—that this is pure, unbridled awesomeness.

As the gray sky looms outside and snow falls to the ground we sometimes sneak into the garage and rummage through our camping gear, thinking fondly of pine trees and mountain air. Somehow, those summe

Imagine this: You and some friends are enjoying the solitude of a remote snow shelter on Mount Rainier on a sunny New Year’s day when a helicopter appears in the distance. You watch it’s slow approach, wondering if perhaps a snowshoer has gone missing in the wilderness. But soon it’s hovering directly abov

This week’s Friday Photo winner is Erik Bengtson with this shot taken during an evening snowshoeing excursion with friends.
