Modern cross country skiing is strikingly similar to the original form of skiing that was invented in Scandinavia over five thousand years ago. Nordic people strapped on what they called “skíðs” (the Old Norse word for “planks of wood”) in order to transport themselves across large distances of snowy terrain. |
But don’t get us wrong, modern cross country skiing is no old school walk in the park. It is one of the most … |

Fat bikes open up a whole new world of two-wheeled adventures |
By Dave Zook |
Fat bikes are all the buzz. Those absurdly wide tires — sometimes over five inches of knobby, under-inflated width — does anyone know exactly what makes them so great? Regardless they are certainly hitting mass appeal as this variation on a traditional mountain bike has been growing steadily around California and the US for the last decade. |
More brands than ever are manufacturing them, giving riders options formerly reserved for the MTB or road riding crowd. Full-suspension rides are offered for the most cushy of experiences and even fancy components like carbon wheel sets can lighten the load, depending on your riding style — and the size of your wallet. |
Many riders become believers due to the bike’s ability to make some terrain more accessible. The traction is the key here and they “float” over … |

El Niño gives Tahoe backcountry skiers a huge helping of powder |
Words and photos by Brennan Lagasse |
“I’m going to ski this super cautiously, island of safety to island of safety. Copy?” |
“Yes. I have eyes on,” my partner responds. |
Slowly, I dance my way into Emerald Chute, one of the most classic backcountry ski lines in the greater Tahoe area. Earlier in the day, Ming Poon and I had broken trail, methodically working our way up crystalline fields of powder until we crested the top of the line, which feeds directly into the iconic Emerald Bay. A couple of friends caught us as we were getting to the top, and together the four of us shared in one of the best runs any of us has experienced in our Tahoe backyard in at least four years. Our friends had to take off after that run, but Ming and … |

The quest to allow cycling in federally designated Wilderness |
By Kurt Gensheimer |
Bicycles in federally protected Wilderness. Depending on who you ask, this is a linchpin issue for the future of conservation or you’ll get a blank stare and a “what about it?” Regardless of the reaction, the topic has been emotionally charged for decades, and as a result, there has been a lot of misunderstanding surrounding the original intent of the Wilderness Act of 1964. The issue of bicycles in Wilderness was recently rekindled when the Boulder-White Clouds region of Idaho, a coveted gem of backcountry mountain biking for generations, was designated federal Wilderness this past summer, shutting out mountain bike use forever. |
Despite the fact that mountain bikes have been proven through numerous independent environmental studies to be as low-impact on trails as hiking and far lower impact than equestrian use, bicycles are still banned from 110 … |

Gravel grinder season kicks off |
By Sarah Hansing |
Well, the holiday season is officially over. It was a glorious time of joyous celebrations and gratitude, festivities and feasts, family and … well, family. |
Which is to say, togetherness. The type of togetherness that can – at times – make you want to end your lineage. Because family celebrations in real life somehow never quite follow the storyline of those heartwarming holiday specials that no one can collectively agree on watching as a family. |
It goes something like this: Someone gets the short straw on hosting the meal. Extended family – who are absent the rest of the year – come together like flocks of politically, morally, and dietarily disagreeing birds. Due to the close quarters and possibly because of some minor incident that happened (perhaps involving Uncle Dave and his now ex-wife) cause a rift, which leads to an … |

You can choose a vehicle for the discount until the release of Update 1.4 |
But obviously the festive garage is now gone, so there is no dropdown. It would be most annoying to miss out on all those credits. |

When you log into the client you'll get a notification about unused Holiday Ops rewards with a button that takes you to the interface where you can assign the discounts. |
