On July 10, 2014, Cody Roman Dial, a 27-year-old graduate student from Alaska, set out into Costa Rica’s imposing Corcovado National Park, a 164-square-mile jungle on the country’s western flank. He never returned. His disappearance spurred his mother, Peggy, and his father, Roman Dial—a National Geographic Explorer and well-known figure in Alaska’s outdoor circles—into a relentless two-year quest to find their son. It was a tortuous search, with contradicting clues, a dubious murder confession, and the ever-diminishing hope that Cody, who went by his middle name, Roman, might be found alive....
It’s been a while since we’ve received a press release for a bike launch that doesn’t talk about weight, aerodynamics or electronic gearing, but the Specialized Merz Sequoia isn’t a bike that sets out to impress you with its stats. This steel bike isn’t about going as fast as you can, it’s about enjoying the ride, and it would be hard to do anything else on such a beautiful machine. The Merz edition Sequoia is an homage to Jim Merz, the legendary frame builder who built the bikes that launched the Specialized brand in its early days....
Can’t get to the gym but need to get some cardio in? Chances are you already have a great option right in your house—or a nearby park or track. “Stair climbing is one of the most effective ways to work your lower body while building cardio endurance and burning fat,” explains Ariane Hundt, founder of New York’s Brooklyn Bridge Boot Camp. Plus, regular stair workouts will up your VO2 max (how much oxygen your body uses during exercise) and boost your metabolism for up to 36 hours after you’re done, she adds....
As the final member of the Old Forester Whiskey Row series, Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Whisky is one of those rare sequels that are better than the original. Let’s not mince words here: Old Forester 1910 just might be the best bottle the brand makes, especially at the end of a long day or a long meal. The Whiskey Row series is a set of tweaks to the Old Forester recipe, representing some particular change or alteration or significant historical event that the brand has experienced since its inception....
Great winter cocktails are few and far between, which is why Polo Bar alumnus and Ardent Hospitality co-founder Marlon Tulaszewski’s four ingredient Craighouse Cheer should be part of your winter after-hours routine. The trick to making a perfect drink for the colder months is capitalizing on the flavors, scents and colors of the season without making things too heavy. We’ve all had winter drinks that sat heavier in your stomach than a load of snow (we’re looking at you, eggnog)....
Skiing your home hill during following a fresh blanketing of powder is just about the greatest gift to a skier. But in the back of our mind is typically a “what-else-is-out-there?” curiosity. Traveling to ski is a special kind of treat: new après, new terrain, new snow, new stoke. These ski destinations should be in your lifetime bucket list, so get a big piggy bank fund started (or maybe rob a bank)....
You can’t get there from here. I’d heard this line over the years, but had never known its roots. I took it as some folksy idiom—most often, delivered with a butchered Yankee accent. That is, “You can’t get they-ahh from he-ahh.” The drawled words echo in my head as we pull off Maine State Route 27, the area’s lone north-south corridor from the Atlantic to Quebec, outside a small town named Stratton (or named Eustis, depending on who provides directions)....
“How bad’s the coffee, how good’s the pie?” John Hiatt sang on one of his overlooked albums from the early 2000s, illustrating one kind of coffee drinker. The other is, well, a snob. If you’re cut from the same mold as his character in the tune, opting for anything dark and steaming from your nearest gas station or street cart, then the new Ember Ceramic Mug—an $80 temperature-controlling coffee cup—probably isn’t for you....
“Addicted.” “Hooked.” They aren’t typically words you hear about workouts that have been known to leave people barfing more than once. “CrossFit is an fitness approach that people really buy into and enjoy,” says Wayne Stokes, M.D., director of sports medicine at the NYU Langone Medical Center’s Rusk Rehabilitation. “It doesn’t matter what’s going on, they aren’t going to miss their Workout of the Day. They get addicted.” If CrossFit has a cult-like following, what’s making so many people drink the (Paleo approved) Kool-Aid?...
On Friday evening, TransWorld SNOWboarding hosted a great night at the Riverwalk Center in Breckenridge, Colorado. As expected, the line was out the door, the energy was high and the after parties were rowdy. The night’s host Eddie Wall kicked off the night by paying homage to Dew Tour’s and TransWorld SNOWboarding’s own Gerhard Gross who passed away four months ago due to cancer. The snowboarding community also lost Dillon Ojo and Noah Salasnek who were honored as well....
Early morning commuters in London may have noticed a surprising sight at the Shard today: A young man free climbing the 1,017-foot tower, which is one of the tallest buildings in Europe. According to the BBC, the man was later identified as urban climber George King, and he made the 45-minute ascent of the glass skyscraper without ropes or suction cups. He completed the climb shortly after 5 a.m. London time, when he entered the building and was met by police officers....
Billy Magnussen, star of the new movie Game Night, is sitting in a rustic tent browsing through a tall pile of board games. “Trivial Pursuit!’ he exclaims. “Now this is a classic.” The 32-year-old actor may have spent his early years a stone’s throw away in Queens, but he feels more at home roughing it out somewhere outdoors. For now, this tented escape, complete with pine boughs and faux-fur-draped couches, at the Arlo Soho will have to do....
In Kansas, some are sad and others relieved that Angus the wire-haired vizsla won’t be allowed to run for governor, The Hutchinson News reports. But everyone’s mostly confused about the loophole that made it possible for Angus’s human, Terran Woolley, to enter the three-year-old pup in the state’s gubernatorial race and set up a campaign committee in the first place. Turns out there aren’t any requirements delineating who can and can’t run for governor in Kansas—as evidenced by the six teenagers who recently announced their bids....
Motivation to keep you in the gym, in shape, and eating healthy can come from lots of places. If that’s not enough to get you exercising and watching your diet, then this discovery should help: The fat in obese people eventually becomes so stressed by the accumulation of weight that it becomes scarred and extremely hard to lose, according to a recent study published in the journal Metabolism. Researchers took fat samples from obese people who had undergone bariatric surgery—a procedure that reduces the size of the stomach to help with weight loss—and compared them to the fat tissue taken from lean people who had elective surgeries....
Mort Subite, a Belgian-focused beer bar in Austin, Texas, has been awarded the first U.S. Governorship by Trappist Brewery Koningshoeven (better known as La Trappe), one of the world’s 12 Trappist breweries. La Trappe, a Dutch Trappist brewery founded in 1884 in Berkel-Enschot, Netherlands, selected Mort Subite after visiting and inspecting the bar to ensure it met a variety of special standards. It will be the first of four to receive La Trappe Governorship distinction in the U....
Even though wave riding has been around Beirut since the early 1960s, surfing isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Lebanon’s capital city. But after years of civil war and national unrest, the Paris of the East has once again started growing a grassroots surf scene just minutes from downtown. Beirut, one of the Middle East’s most culturally interesting cities, is also one of its best cities for surfing....
