Every time the powder falls, any skier knows it’s time to drop everything and head to the hill. For pro skier, Marcus Caston, an early-season dump in Montana spurred this powder hound to head out to a spot that he’d never been to before and see what Montana’s mountains have to offer. “They got 18 inches last night at Big Sky,” says pro skier Marcus Caston. “I’m really excited to ski some new spots....
After six years of producing an array of sport and dress watches with quartz movements, Shinola made a major leap on Tuesday when it introduced its first timepiece with an mechanical movement—and its first dive watch.

Shinola, which has been in an exclusive partnership with Ronda since it made its first watch in 2011, was already working on the Lake Erie Monster when Ronda announced last year that it was “going mechanical” after three decades of focusing on battery-powered movements....
PyeongChang 2018 Olympic athletes are getting hooked up with new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 phones that are so limited, the public can’t even buy them. Samsung announced in a press release that all athletes in the games (and team staff members) would be receiving one of the devices. The phone features a white glass back with an image of golden Olympic rings. The phones will have all of the same functionality as the original Note 8, but will also come pre-loaded with apps that will be most useful to the athletes, as well as a special PyeongChang games wallpaper....
In the late 1950s, surfers made the transition from riding heavy wooden planks to lighter more responsive boards built of foam and fiberglass. That switch was an absolute game changer. Since then surfboard construction techniques have remained largely the same — but the folks at Varial Surf Technology are finally looking to change all that. Varial begins with their own high modulus foam derived from the aerospace industry (think: rocket ship foam that’s super strong and lightweight yet highly flexible) and then vacuum seals it with a hard fiberglass outer layer that’s made of the same stuff used to build giant wind turbines and racing sailboats....

Sitting in the audience during the premiere of “Free Solo” in Yosemite earlier this year, with palms sweating as I watched Alex Honnold tick off his multi-year goal of climbing El Capitan with nothing but a pair of shoes on his feet and a chalk bag around his waist, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Meanwhile, Dierdre Wolownick (Alex’s mom) sat nearby watching her son on the big screen. I can only imagine what she thought when she first saw the film....
Twitter can be an especially unforgiving place, but every once in a while, something pops that brings the Internet together.

And a lot more people are learning about the Museum of English Rural Life these days thanks to this photo of a particularly large sheep—and its spot-on caption....
I opened Mesa Grill, my first restaurant, near Union Square in Manhattan, when I was 26. That made it hard to hit the gym with any regularity, but I didn’t think much of it. This was back in 1991, when chefs weren’t celebrities—we were just blue-collar employees. I would work until 11:30 p.m. and then get dinner with Tom Valenti of Le Cirque, along with a bunch of other cooks. Our routine was to go to Blue Ribbon Brasserie and eat four courses and drink a few bottles of wine....
Tom Holland is a Connecticut-based exercise physiologist, certified sports nutritionist, and CEO and founder of TeamHolland. Holland explains everything you need to know about HIIT and Tabata. Men’s Fitness: What’s the difference between HIIT and Tabata? Tom Holland: When I coach people for Ironman, marathons, running, or any type of aerobic activity, HIIT allows athletes to get more work at a higher intensity than if they did it steady-state. By having those rest intervals, you spend more time in the upper end of aerobic capacity, whereas you wouldn’t be able to do that if you tried to do 10 minutes of really high-intensity exercises....

Whether it’s an upstart team knocking off an established champion, or an unheralded athlete pulling off a massive upset over what looks like an unbeatable opponent, underdog stories can resonate for months, years, and decades—and inspire others to attempt the same astonishing feats....

Skye Walker has been an artist for most of his life. Primarily a muralist, he’s traveled far and wide, painting commercial and private murals all over the place. And this year, Walker realized a long-time dream of his: to travel the country on a year-long mural tour. Of course, to do that, he needed somewhere to stay along the way. Instead of going the traditional hotel and camping route (which would have hindered both his wallet and his spontaneous schedule), Walker enlisted the help of some friends and built his dream van that will serve as his home-on-wheels for the next 12 months as he embarks on his Sea-to-Sea Tour....

There’s a reason New Year’s resolutions are a thing; It’s the ideal time to start fresh. The holidays are done. The travel is over. The presents have been opened; the family, endured. The parties are (hopefully) fading from memory. The leftovers may still be in the fridge, but you know what? It’s time to chuck them, too. Clean it all out: mind, body, and spirit (and fridge), and flush it all away....
