This year, the W2W program turned 10 years old. Over the last decade, it’s grown from a small Blizzard Tecnica initiative into a global community dedicated to uplifting female voices in skiing and, most importantly, developing gear for…

The endeavor was the culmination of years of planning and training. Vegard has been living like a monk of the mountains, skiing, climbing, single-mindedly striving, and dreaming…

With its wide valleys and tall structures like El Capitan and Half Dome, Yosemite National Park is a BASE jumper’s paradise. There’s one problem, however: It’s illegal. Three men were recently convicted in federal court for BASE jumping in Yosemite National Park in 2024 and 2020.

Annette McGivney’s Outside article that chronicled his crimes was even titled “How Did This Climber Get Away with So Much For So Long?” Long after the beginning of MeToo, climbing was beginning to reckon with how its communities, members, and organizations harbored and even enabled rapists, child sex abusers, and other perpetrators of sexual violence. In all of these worthwhile discussions, one subject remained in the shadows: domestic abuse and intimate partner violence. What happens…
