Did research, still just smoke and mirrors and accusations. No smoking needle there. Allegations are not proof. Proof is proof, show it to me.
Lance Armstrong and Tyler Hamilton Walk Into a Bar
Tyler Hamilton, the Olympic gold medalist who recently confessed to doping and accused Lance Armstrong of using performance-enhancing drugs, spent the weekend leading bike rides for Outside in Aspen, an annual summit we host. Last night, Hamilton went to dinner with friends at Cache Cache [prono...
Sorry I must have missed the part where Armstrong actually tested positive for doping or was actually convicted of something. As far as I know Lance has only been accused of doping by self-admitted liars. Oh wait, I forgot it's a conspiracy promulgated by Lance and the anti-doping agency. Right!

The man is a hero.
Telluride Mountainfilm: Tim DeChristopher
Bidder 70 from Gage & Gage Productions on Vimeo. Tim DeChristopher has been in the news since December 2008, when the former University of Utah economics student bid $1.8 million on 13 parcels of BLM land in Utah at a federal oil and gas lease auction. DeChristopher had no plans to pay—it was...
Sorry that should be "you're" an idiot and a liar.
Climate Activist Tim DeChristopher Trial Underway
Back in December 2008, before President Obama took over, Tim DeChristopher was attending the University of Utah and spending his free time at a Bureau of Land Management auction for oil and gas lease sales. To say that DeChristopher crashed this auction is an understatment—he actually signed in ...

What's with all the freakin' PBR? You know in Aspen they actually sell real beer, hell we even make some. I assume that somewhere in Vail they sell something that has some flavor to it and maybe even a little alcohol. Perhaps you should be as demanding of your libation as your ski partner. Glad you enjoyed some Colorado powder. Y'all come back soon.
Ski-Bum Bliss In Vail
I recently went to Vail, Colorado, for a mini-vacation. I wanted to enjoy a nice day of beautiful vistas, blue skies, serene, wide-open slopes, and even an après beer in the sunshine that wasn’t a PBR. Basically, the opposite of my usual freeski urchin, storm chasing, all systems go modus ope...
Re: Bryan Jace
Blah,blah blah blah ad nauseum.“Terrorism is a premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetuated against noncombatant targets by groups usually intending to influence an audience or bring about political change.” Sorry but the whalers are not non-combatants, they are the soldiers of Japaneses stubbornness and arrogance. Watson takes great effort to make sure none of them are physically harmed. He is taking direct action to stop the slaughter of these wonderful animals, putting himself between them and the killers. Accusing us of cultural hubris is also BS. The Earth's environment belongs to us all, when it is harmed or destroyed we all suffer. Is it cultural hubris to oppose genital mutilation, slavery, child prostitution? Those things are not just manifestations of cultural diversity, they are crimes against humanity and nature.
Forum: Hunting Whales
In our June, 2009 story, "Brinkman's Ship," author Michael Roberts examines how the controversial Animal Planet television series Whale Wars is effecting eco-vigilante Paul Watson's campaign to halt Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean. For 30-plus years, Watson and his Sea Shepherd Conversati...
Yeah not like it's earth (or ego) shattering to have my girlfriend pass me skiing, kayaking, or mtn biking (up) something, the first two she teaches for a living, course she's not heavy enough to catch me on the downhill.
Guys Getting Chicked
What does a girl have to do if she wants marriage proposals, arm-wrestling contests, shock-and-awe accolades, and (sadly) trail blocking and really strange behavior? Simple: Pass a guy on the trail or in a race. If you’re the dude being passed, you just got chicked. I chicked a few guys while...
Thank Dog for Colorado's Skier's Safety Law, (skiing is inherently dangerous it is your responsibility to stay safe)it keeps assholes like this from screwing it up for everybody else, hopefully West Virginia has similar legislation.
Man Blames Good Advertising for Ski Accident
Glen and Pamela Addis are suing the Snowshoe ski resort in West Virginia over injuries Mr. Addis incurred while skiing a hazardous slope. They claim that the resort's marketing toward "adrenaline junkies" was so effective that they were lured into undertaking risky activity. According to the Adv...
