"There's so much more to Burnsville than meets the eye. We've got live theater, a planetarium and observatory, a history museum, and one of the largest populations of working artists in the country. When I say there's literally something for everyone here, I'm serious."

"Stretches of the float feel quite secluded and peaceful, while others pass parks and restaurants. I like the connection-it's always good to be reminded of the wild in the urban."

Reno is not a mini Las Vegas. It is a vibrant and growing community that's rich with art, music, food, natural beauty, and a distinct culture all its own.

After skiing every open blue run and black diamond at Appalachian Ski Mountain in about 20 minutes, my thoughts were that it isn't a ski area for everyone. If you're accustomed to long, wide groomers that wind for miles or resorts known for their powder, vertical drop, and off-piste terrain, you're not going to be impressed with what this historic hill has to offer. But by the end of the morning, my perspective shifted.

Huge news for southern skiers and snowboarders, as Alabama's one and only ski area is open tonight, January 27th, from 6pm-10pm. Cloudmont Ski Resort offers skiing and snowboarding accessed by a single rope tow. It's extremely condition dependent, often opening for only a handful of days every winter. This winter's first day for Cloudmont was back on January 18th, and they were open for 5 days between then and January 22nd.

South Korea doesn't immediately come to mind when you picture world-class singletrack, but with South Korea being mostly mountains, it makes sense that there would be plenty of mountain biking to uncover. When Giant Bicycles athlete Sascha Kim touched down in Seoul, he found himself connecting with a mountain bike scene bursting with life, a tight-knit community, and some seriously great trails.

In many ways, western North Carolina destinations-like Asheville, Highlands, Hot Springs, and Waynesville, to name just a few-are quite similar. There's typically a genuine appreciation of art, music, food, and craft beer, and life tends to revolve around the great outdoors. And why shouldn't it? The Appalachian Mountains have created a lush, green paradise in this region, complete with stunning views, amazing hikes, and plenty of fresh air.

AllTrails, a hiking app with trail maps and reviews, dug into insights from their 90 million-plus members and team of trail experts to spotlight lesser-known places where the trail alone is worth planning a trip around. Their guide, Travel-Worthy Trails for 2026, spotlights eight unexpected destinations around the world where the trail is the destination.

A sudden weather change, a mechanical, a missed turn, or a momentary lapse in judgment can all turn a "quick ride" into a surprisingly long day. The good news? While some of those problems are big, the solutions are often small. A last-second weather check. An extra granola bar. A quick link and a zip tie that's been living in the bottom of your bag for the last five years. Little things can often be the difference between a perfect ride and a problem ride.

A massive crash on the last jump on the Red Bull Hardline Tasmania track has left Mille Johnset of Nukeproof Axess Racing with a broken collarbone and concussion. The 3rd person view of the crash is shown in this clip posted by Ed Masters. In the clip, you can see a touch of headwind catching the windsock, which likely contributed to Johnset coming up a bit short.

A high-energy NST Dream Ticket qualifier went down this weekend in the hills above Queenstown, with five riders earning the final Dream Ticket invitations into the 27-rider roster for Natural Selection Bike 2026. In total, five riders-four international competitors and one New Zealand local-punched their tickets in front of a packed crowd, closing the door on last-chance qualification and setting the final puzzle pieces for competition on Mt. Dewar.
