Every winter, my social media feed is filled with skiers and snowboarders conquering insane fall lines, hucking cliffs, and blowing cold smoke through untracked, waist-high powder. The remote helicopter-only terrain featured in these reels can feel–even for an experienced skier like myself–out of reach. “Not so,” says Jesse Seguin, Area Manager for ski operator CMH Purcell. In 1965 CMH pioneered helicopter-assisted backcountry adventures in North America.

Like bourbon and fine wine, tea obsession is “steeped” in unlimited possibilities. Tea lovers espouse esoteric verbiage and folklore, stock caddy upon caddy in their pantries, and, as members of the “secret society of the leaves,” decry coffee culture at every opportunity. Obsessed with tea for four decades myself, I consider my Teafluencer title from Harney & Sons Fine Teas my premier accolade among a (very) limited set of honors.

“You couldn’t drag me away from watching wild horses.”I’m not a huge Rolling Stones fan, but picking the band’s favorite song is a breeze. “Wild Horses” reminds me of the many times I’ve been lucky to see exquisite equine beauties run free. Like many children, I was smitten with Misty of Chincoteague and the feral herd in the Outer Banks, especially after family camping trips to Virginia and North Carolina. This aura surrounding wild horses has remained strong over time.

Ski season in the western United States and Canada doesn't look like it did a decade ago. Despite the fact that climate change has made snowfall far less predictable, resorts have never been more crowded. This is partly because so many of the region's best mountains now accept the multi-resort Epic and Ikon passes, making it cost-effective to spend more days at more destinations, and also because the COVID-era uptick in the sport has endured.

Lloyd “AJ” Bridges created his personal field of dreams in the cornrows behind his family’s Western Kentucky farmhouse.
