Season ski passes continue to get more expensive every year across the country, no matter where you look — unless you’re buying the Power Pass. The Power Pass, which includes 17 ski resorts, including Purgatory Resort in Colorado, Arizona Snowbowl, and Utah’s Brian Head Resort, went on sale on March 18. And for the fourth consecutive year, its price has remained unchanged. “We are holding the line on pass prices for a fourth consecutive year because skiing and snowboarding shouldn’t be a luxury,” Stacey Glaser, head of marketing at Mountain Capital Partners (MCP), said in a statement. “It should be…

Ram Truck aficionados who are about to step up from their decades-old Crew Cab 4×4 models to the most recent version of the 1500 Series half-ton pickups will be in for a surprise when it comes to what lies under the hood and where the prices sit for 2026. The good news is the venerable 5.7L Hemi V-8 that was discontinued in 2024 is back, literally by popular demand. The 2026 pickups once again offer the legendary 395-horsepower powerplant as a $2,895 option for those who prefer a V-8 over the healthy 420-horsepower twin-turbo Hurricane I-6. Most of that Hemi…

Zac Whitmore, designer of the award-winning Civivi Yonder, has partnered with the shop again for a larger sequel. The Over Yonder, as it’s called, brings the winningly simple design of its littler predecessor forward, just scaled up. The first Yonder arrived in 2024, and was warmly received not only by users in general but by the judges at Blade Show in Atlanta, where it took home the Best Buy of the Year award. It is the kind of knife Civivi does best: a no-funny-business user with handsome, albeit understated styling, made to the exacting standards all Civivi (as well as…

It won’t disappear in your pocket, it’s not “barely noticeable,” and weight weenies will hate it. And that’s just the beginning of what I love about the CJRB Tundra — a fist-filling folding knife with a blade damn near the size of a shovel. While I’ve tested and can appreciate lightweight, low-profile EDC blades for the people and uses for which they’re designed, I prefer my daily carry to feel like a heavy-duty, ultra-reliable tool. At damn near half-a-pound and nearly 9 inches in overall length — and with its big, beautiful belly — the Tundra is easily the largest folder in my…

Here are a few things you should consider when choosing or building home defense guns.When things go bump in the night, there are of course some things to consider before you start bumping back. The gun community has been a mixed bag of sorts lately with products and technology coming out at a blistering rate thanks to changes in legislature and the expansion of the broader consumer base. There are more gun owners on a much wider spectrum of diversity than ever before, and this has inadvertently led to less tribal knowledge, less general understanding of technology and a “too…

Florida nurse Dwight Pfeiffer is very familiar with the dangers of hurricanes. A U.S. Army combat veteran who lives on an island near Sarasota, Pfeiffer has long served on disaster response teams, helping evacuate thousands of elderly patients amid the “pure chaos” caused by powerful storms. These hurricanes often knock out power for days or weeks at a time. “My plans for dealing with a major emergency all assume that there won’t be power, cell service, or internet access,” he told GearJunkie. That’s why Pfeiffer bought a Prepper Disk. This handy little device is about the size of a power bank,…
