Forrest grew up in the mountains and is the product of a life spent in the outdoors. Born in Klamath Falls, Oregon, he and his family moved to Mount Shasta when he was three. With a ski resort fifteen minutes from his home and parents that worked at the resort, it was natural that Forrest took to skiing at an early age. Forrest's early focus in skiing was geared towards ski racing. During high school, Forrest won two high school state championships and was the 1998 USSA J1 Jr. Olympic Champion in the ...

This photo is from a ski tour I did with my dad in about 1977 in the Canadian Rockies (maybe Dolomite Pass?). I'm ten years old. The gear I'm on is far less supportive than modern BC NNN gear, the skis have minimal sidecut, and yet the fun level is for sure at least as high as it ever has been, was, or will be. Yesterday I was out with my daughter; I was on high-end XC classic gear, she was on plastic waxless rigs. We both had fun. Skiing rocks, it's not fundamentally about the gear but getting outside and

born: 22.05.1990 in Schwyz, Switzerland I started snowboarding at the age of 12, only because I wanted to be as cool as my sister. Out of this grew the biggest passion of my life and I would go snowboarding every free minute. As I grew up at the base of two ski resorts, I spent nearly every free day on the mountain. At an early age, I started to really enjoy good powder days more and more and today this is what motivates me the most. Even though I started competing at contests (mostly at big air events),

In late 2008, Boulder author Pete Bronski published Powder Ghost Towns, a guide to Colorados abandoned ski resorts, many of which still provide excellent terrain for those willing to climb under the silent lifts. During his research, Bronski also filmed the sweet skiing found at many of these empty old resorts.
Over the next six weeks, [...]

Mid-November is upon us, the cooler weather has set in, and the mountain states have already been hit with plenty of snow this year. Winter is still officially a month away, but that doesn't mean it isn't time to hit the slopes and get some skiing, or in my case, snowboarding in. The problem is, where is the best place to go? What if you live somewhere that doesn't offer much in the way of snow sports? (Say... Texas for instance!) Well, never fear, because The Adventure Life is here to save the day. ...

Loveland opened Wednesday with an 74-inch base and eight inches of fresh powder. A-Basin will open today, but later than scheduled because they're still digging out the chairlifts. Believe it? Then you likely also trust the resorts' regular snow reports. Dartmouth professors have proved what we already know: "Ski resorts self-report 23 percent more natural snowfall on weekends," even though "there is no such weekend effect in government precipitation data." Amusingly, the study noted that such exaggeration
