We stood at the top of a steep slope with tightly spaced trees. “Follow my ski tracks — we need to go either far left or far right near the bottom of this slope. That way, we can avoid cliffs,” my ski partner, Dane Tudor, said. Cliffs? I reached up and used my mitten to press the button on the ear pad of my ski helmet, pausing my music. I was testing the new POC Obex Connect. The sound quality was excellent, and the system was so easy to use that I was now hooked on listening to beats throughout…

Mikaela Shiffrin just showed the whole world why she’s still considered one of the best skiers alive. The 30-year-old athlete won a gold medal in the women’s slalom on Wednesday morning, dominating the event with a 1.5-second lead over her competitors. It was Shiffrin’s last event in the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, and her final chance to take home gold after a disappointing performance in the 2022 Beijing Olympics. This is Shiffrin’s third gold medal as a U.S. Winter Olympian. That puts her in the same category as snowboarder Shaun White and bobsledder Kaillie Humphries. But it’s actually her…

The videos from Kings & Queens of Corbet’s Couloir don’t do the competition justice. Watching as these athletes launch themselves out into space down into the gut of this iconic feature of Jackson Hole is a sight that’s hard to wrap your head around in person. From the bottom, the couloir looks much steeper. The athletes look like ants standing atop it. And when they come sailing over the edge, it’s hard not to let your jaw fall open. Kings & Queens is one of the most impressive live-action sports events I’ve ever witnessed. This year, the athletes really put…

They were returning from a hut trip near Frog Lake and were navigating avalanche terrain as they exited. The avalanche occurred around 11:30 a.m.,…

By Beyond Seclusion Posted in #Gear A topic that consistently attracts significant interest is self-defense, and the two most common subtopics are home defense and concealed carry. Based on my personal experience and conversations with folks, concealed carry seems to be of the most interest. Why?

When we get into conversations on concealed carry, the #1 point of interest seems to be…
