Head finished the season with 9,720 points across all disciplines, leading in Downhill, Super-G, and Slalom, while placing third in Giant Slalom. This consistency ensured a comfortable overall victory, nearly 4,000 points ahead of the next-best ski brand.

One of the most indispensable items for spring tent camping is a rain fly. Your tent probably comes with one, but when that thing gets absolutely drenched, the water will soak through and drip from the ceiling. So, install this tarp above your tent and at an angle, so the rain rolls right off it.

Valle Nevado, located in the Chilean Andes, is South America's largest ski resort, known for its legendary powder days and cultural immersion experience.

Visually inspect skis, bases, and edges. If any damage, get a full tune to fix the damage, grind the bases, and sharpen the edges.

The best way to describe a Jerry is 'an individual who exhibits a true lack of understanding for their sport, or for life in general.' Jerry's are typically the ones you see on the mountain who are booming down the runs, heading to hit the next person they see.

The safari jacket owes much of its makeup to this lighter-weight cousin. Safari jackets were worn by troops in all the warm-weather colonial trips made by the turn of the (20th) century European powers.

The men whose style stand out on the slopes know that difference lies in the details - the cut, the fabrics, the finish. These men won't settle for bulky jackets or purely functional one-pieces; instead they look to luxury men's skiwear that works hard. Designs that are technical enough to handle the cold and the powder, yet polished enough to pass muster in any ski lodge or après-ski bar.

I grew up just outside of Toronto and went to university in Montreal, so needless to say, I know cold. I'm no stranger to below-zero temperatures, snow up to my shins, and slippery strolls to and from extra-curricular activities. And if there's one brand we trust to keep us warmand keep us movingup in Canada, it's The North Face. I've been donning The North Face's parkas, snow boots, and insulating layers to stay toasty for as long as I can remember,

When you're touring in the backcountry, you'll want a different kit than what you wear inbounds at the resort. Inbounds, your main goal is to stay warm and comfortable, and you're usually not working nearly as hard as you do on the skin track. Touring generates a lot more heat, so your layering system has to breathe, manage moisture, and still keep you warm when you stop.

While the lake spares this area much of the bitter cold, temperatures regularly drop well below zero at night. We have weeks where daily highs are in the single digits Fahrenheit. If that sounds miserable to you its because you don't have the clothes to deal with it. In order to get outside and do anything in these conditions you need good gear.

Packing for a truly freezing destination takes more than tossing a few sweaters into your bag-something I quickly learned in the Arctic Circle during polar night, when "daytime" is pitch-black and the temperatures regularly plunge well below zero. Growing up in New York winters, spending the last few snow seasons in the Rockies, and now logging weeks above the Arctic Circle has taught me one key lesson: staying warm in subzero temps is all about smart layers -not necessarily bulky expedition gear.

in the Swiss backcountry. They're young men, both seemingly carefree and indestructible. During their run down the mountain, the pair notice an inn, remove their skis, and step inside for a drink and some apple strudel. There's an old stove throwing off heat; cigarette smoke wafts through the place. After Nick orders wine for both of them, he turns to George and says:

While best known for its minimalist camping gear - the brand's instantly recognizable titanium mug is a mainstay in Pacific Northwest campsites and cramped Brooklyn apartments alike - Snow Peak's lineup of insulated, down-filled and fire-resistant styles is criminally underrated. With perfected silhouettes, low-key Japanese detailing and sparse styling, it's slightly different than you're used to, but all in service of a better (dressed) outdoor experience.

Arguably, the best feature of this jacket is its versatility. The Expedition Pack Down Hoodie wears wonderfully as a daily driver, is suitably rugged for outdoor pursuits, and is plenty sharp for a romantic date or a night out on the town. It's comfortable enough to join me for snowy sunrises over the ocean or walks along the marsh-yet still feels perfectly appropriate for something as mundane as taking out the trash.

Having been at InsideHook for the past seven years, I know that you guys are super into Outerknown, the Kelly Slater-founded clothing company that specializes in laid-back basics that are equally at home on a beach or out to dinner. Or just...at home, I guess. So I feel obligated to alert you to the very, very good sale they're currently hosting, on everything from their best-selling Blanket Shirt to their must-have Nomad Shorts, as well as $28 hoodies (?!?!) and a whole lot more.
