It’s poo-TEEN—you silly whore.

In a word, yes. Why?

Or, how I shaved several pounds off my touring set up and learned to love going uphill.

Salomon's new helmet, designed by Mike Douglas, uses an air bladder to customize the fit.

Canadian skiers have blown it at these games. No matter the cause of this failure, no one is pointing fingers at the ladies’ coach. He’s all but failure-proof. Why?

With 100,000 condoms at the athlete villages in Whistler and Vancouver, Olympians are said to be copulating like it’s the end of the world. Sadly, the media and Olympic brass are treating this issue as same. Isn’t it time we lightened up? What’s so interesting about exceptionally fit, good-looking people having savage and prolific sex, all over the place?

Or, how I tried to get captured by secret army watch posts in the Whistler backcountry.

The skis cost about twice as much as a retail set. They incorporate your height, weight, and ability in the construction. They even listen to the music you want them to hear. But at Wagner Custom, what you also get is a commitment to quality.

It’s official: the biggest story at the Olympics is Lindsey Vonn’s shin. It has received more coverage than the nations of Latvia, Montenegro, Moldova, and San Marino. But here's what it, and the rest of the media, isn't telling you.

Marilyn Monroe, Jimi Hendrix, and Jerry Garcia are just a few personalities honored by shrines in the woods of Aspen. Check out a few photos of the infamous memorials.

This mountain looms nearly 6,500 glaciated feet above the town of Engelberg, home to one of Switzerland's longest-operating monasteries. Go there and pray for snow stability and for one of the many transplanted Swedes to show you around so you don't get cliffed out. Or you could bypass Jesus and follow these directions.

Why aren't the female ski jumpers allowed to compete at the Olympics?

Why trail running works for skiers, and the perfect shoe for beginners and experts alike.

Pro skier David Lesh was sick of jackets and pants that didn’t fit right. When his clothing sponsors wouldn’t listen to feedback, he went on his own and launched an outerwear company, First Drop.

There’s no such thing as a secret stash anymore. So how do you keep your line fresh? Own it. It’s only $2,500 a day. You can do this at Turner Mountain.

Advantage: Sadly, violence works

To the thief with the impeccable taste...

One costs pennies, the other about a buck-twenty-something. Both are delicious things to keep you fueled during a ski day. But we asked a nutritionist: What's the difference?

Cutting it with Coke is a bad idea. But according to a Scottish whisky master, being a snob about it is even worse.

We don’t generally cover ski racing. But we decided this particular news—an American winning the World Cup two years in a row—was worthy. Enjoy your yearly dose of token ski-racing coverage.

Does drinking at higher elevations really make you feel wasted-er?

Can it be done? Is it stupid? The answers, respectively are maybe and yes. But a group attempted to do this for the first time last winter. Here's what happened.
