“This is just like home,” Jackson said, standing on his skis atop a cloudy glacier in Iceland, “except we’re on an island in the middle of the Atlantic in July.” My son exploded into the world on a halcyon August day in the Tetons and has lived there ever since; before he could walk he’d gotten in a couple dozen days at Jackson Hole and Snow King Mountain Resort (on my chest) and by 3 was notching more ski days a season than most of America.

Get stoked, skiers & shredders! After a hiatus last year, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) is bringing back the legendary Kings & Queens of Corbet’s competition, and this year it’s gonna be bigger, badder, and more epic than ever before. With over 200 inches of pow already dumped and more on the way, the stage is set for some serious hucking at Corbet’s Couloir from Feb 8-16, 2025. This isn’t your average comp; it’s a showcase of raw talent, fearless creativity, and straight-up sending it.

So, yeah, Kiehl’s, my go-to for skincare, especially when you’re getting blasted by sun and wind up here, they’re doubling down with Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. It’s year two, and they’re now the official Skincare and SPF partner for 2025. Makes total sense, right? This is serious altitude and we need serious protection – and Kiehl’s gets it. They’re not just slapping a logo on something, they’re invested in making sure my skin stays protected.

The samurai moves fast and strongly into battle, with honor and skill and fury, fueled by a code of warrior stoicism known as bushido; if alive today, no doubt he’d be training in the La Sportiva Bushido III Shoes. It has the precision and power of a katana, and the protection and support of good armor. As my fall turns into winter and I pound the trail further and harder, as snow piles on the trail and what dirt is left becomes mud, I need a shoe that can keep up.

So you’re considering entering the exciting sport of splitboarding for fun and for health? What a wonderful decision. And what a horrible decision. I mean, it’s a lot more difficult to earn your turns than to ride the great space coaster to the top of a well-marked, mapped out peak. If you have an issue, there’s no ski patrol to bail you out. If you get to a summit and forgot a screwdriver and your binders loosened up a little, you better be able to get downhill on one foot.
