Every spring the winter run off swells the rivers in and around Quebec, creating some of the most amazing conditions for freestyle paddlers to surf some very big waves. This past spring, kayaker Tyler Fox took is video camera along to shoot the action, and as you'll see below, the results are nothing short of spectacular. The water really is huge and that allows these talented athletes to really show off their abilities. After you're done picking up your jaw, head over to Canoe Kayak where you can read an

Josh Hoeschen Matt Montavon and their 6-day Mountaineering Course team are headed for the Matanuska Glacier. They will get some great Ice time! They had great courses here in town with fixed line ascension, cooking classes and lots more. Ready to jump in the van! Otis, Jason, Hazel, Matt, Josh, David, Tyler, looking rather serious between laughs. Today they are "moving camp" and packed accordingly, with each person's pack loaded with their personal gear and some group gear rather than in duffels as we do

Gerard, and tales of airplanes driving into crevasses in Antarctica. Hearsay? Maybe. Colby with Tyler, Vic, and Justin, enjoying the sunshine. Captain Dave Olson and Evan, preparing their stomachs for a long day. "You know, I could have been doing anything else for three weeks - golfing, sailing..." Dave muses. "Massages!" guide Alex adds. I wonder what 17-year-old Evan added to that list. But instead father and son are going to Denali. Not a bad option in my book. AMS Headquarters has been busy the last

Remember the cycling report I posted yesterday with a short footnote on Lance Armstrong and Tyler Hamilton running into one another in Aspen this past weekend? I ended that post by saying "the soap opera continues" and I mostly meant it tongue in cheek. But, it turns out that was a rather prophetic statement, as the story has new legs today. ESPN posted a more in depth story today about the incident, with some alleged quotes from Lance. Hamilton's camp says that Lance tried to bully Tyler to a degree, even

In what should come as no surprise to cycling fans everywhere, it was announced yesterday that Alberto Contador will ride in this year's Tour de France , despite a looming hearing with the International Cycling Union and World Anti-Doping Agency over allegations that he may have taken a banned substance. You may recall that the three-time defending Tour champion tested positive for the drug clenbuterol during last year's race and has claimed that the trace amounts detected in his system were a result of

Tyler Stableford has been recognized as one of the top adventure photographers around. And in the video below he shares some tips of the trade with those of us who would like to steal his job. The video is a bit of a commercial for Adobe's Lightroom 3 , which is in beta now, and is a popular tool amongst photographers. But from a workflow stand point it is interesting to see how Tyler works, and the video captures him out in the field shooting an ice climber in action too. One of these days I'll figure out

Yesterday (well a few weeks ago now but it was yesterday when I began to write) I turned 24. In recent years, birthdays have become less and less important and I have gotten used to letting them slip by without a song or a dance. Up until a few days ago I had assumed this year would be the same, but assumptions have a developed a recent habit of biting me firmly in the ass, and my 24th year would turn out to be anything but mundane! Im sure most of you already know this, but Fontainebleau is rather ...
