Despite being the most popular segment of vehicles in the U.S., crossovers like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CRV get a bad rap, especially in the off road and overland communities. They’re regarded as a poor compromise between a sedan and an SUV that tend to do nothing particularly well, and are often ridiculed for selling the idea of off-road capability without actually possessing that capability. Here’s the thing, though: crossovers are popular for good reason.

In early December of 2023, SKI and Outside editors sat around a conference table in Rossignol’s pop-up showroom at the Gravity Haus in Vail, Colorado, staring at a powerpoint presentation. Projected onto the wall were illustrations of a new ski boot the brand would be releasing in the fall of 2024—a boot, the brand claimed, that would address skiers’ biggest issue with ski boots: getting them on and off.

It’s back! Well, that’s not necessarily how Rossignol wants you to think about the Sender Soul 102, a brand-new ski in its reimagined freeride line. But even Rossi can’t help but lean into the warm memories associated with the dearly departed Soul 7 (2013-2019, RIP). But though there’s definitely some family resemblance, this new-and-improved version boasts major updates.

It was only a matter of time. After all, my husband and I live in Boulder County, Colorado, one of the bike meccas of the U.S. where the joke is that the bike on the back of the car is oftenworth more than the car itself—and thieves know it. Besides being a hub for mountain-, gravel-, and road biking, Boulder is also a university town and exceptionally bike-commuter friendly, meaning there are a lot of people who ride and own bikes here. In other words, its a town ripe for the picking.

To help those scratching their heads about what to get dad for Father’s Day, we badgered the dads on the Outside staff to tell us what’s on their wish list, great gifts they’ve received and really appreciated, and dad essentials they swear by.
