Featured Image: Clayton Herrmann Dependability is a fickle thing. Consumers want a reliable product, but innovation is a necessary part of the game. How does a brand move, adapt and change while maintaining a dependable reputation? This is the question facing most of the outdoor industry today, and if there ever were a case study in how to do so successfully, it would be Mountain Hardwear. The California-based company has been a longtime staple in the ski scene.

Featured Image: Luke GentryWyatt and Luke Gentry are two rising stars in today’s freeride world. The Jackson Hole-based brothers have been scoring big lines in the Teton’s since they were groms, and they’re no stranger to creative descents. This one is a little bit more unique than the resort, however. On a family trip to Dubois, Wyoming, inspiration struck.

All Images: Lucas Herbert, Courtesy of Arapahoe Basin It was a good morning to be along the I-70 corridor in Colorado! The high reaches of the Rockies typically see storms roll through in early May, and this year has been no different. With temps having stayed relatively low over the last few weeks above 10,000 feet, the skiing has been consistent and terrain has remained filled in the high alpine.

Featured Image: Miranda Galbraith You haven’t gotten your fix just yet. We get it. Winter came and went, but your ski legs aren’t even close to being worn out. Besides, spring skiing is the best time of the year! There’s nobody on the hill except for you and your friends, you don’t have to get frostbite just to put your boots on in the lot, the landings are perfect and the way that ski just dices up a spring corn carve… we could go on but you understand.

Featured Image: Owen DahlbergIt’s okay, all is right in the world again. Another MAGMA Monday has arrived. Hunter Hess, Alex Hall and Owen Dahlberg had quite the time trying to pull it together last week. Thankfully, Birk Irving stepped up to the plate and was able to deliver a masterclass in double cork 1080s. That was the goal, at least. You can judge if it was a success or not. Tag along with the crew from Level 1 SuperUnknown 22 at Palisades Tahoe to Aspen Snowmass and back again.

Featured Image: Dylan DipentimaA tight line is one thing. This ice cave squeeze is another. The Trew Gear squad recently visited the one and only Blanket Glacier Chalet, located outside of Revelstoke, British Columbia. One of the athletes in attendance was speed demon Dylan Dipentima. If you haven’t seen his fast and furious lines around Jackson, we highly recommend a watch. But Dipentima wasn’t hunting big open faces on this mission.
