Another sad reminder that resort skiing can be dangerous: Haley Rose Gans, a 14-year-old girl from Colorado Springs, ran into a tree on an intermediate run at Breckenridge on Friday and died of blunt force trauma to the chest. And then, of course, the registered users of DenverPost.com decided ...

Well, the world's still going to hell, more new evidence this week as Breckenridge decriminalizes small amounts of marijuana, which should probably not effect Ullr Fest in the least. A cruise ship helps rescue a couple on a fishing boat, creating a tiny amount of good karma for cruise ships. ...

It's wonderful to see Sarah Palin finally getting the media attention she deserves. Apparently some of that $150k the Republican Party spent in Minneapolis getting the former beauty queen dolled up for TV was spent buying Icebreaker tops from Midwest Mountaineering . In her Newsweek cover ...

Holy crap. A tourism company out of England is running an actual Titanic Memorial Cruise that will commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the world's largest metaphor. There's been some critical response, but people who were teenagers when the blockbuster "Titanic" ...

The nut tool, in the entire history of its existence, has pretty much been an incomplete piece of climbing equipment. Manufacturers provide the tool, basically a narrow hook that can withstand frustrated climbers beating the shit out of it while trying to push, pull and yank stubborn chocks ...

How long does a guy who cut his own arm off have to wait for someone to make a movie about him? Almost 7 years go by before someone decides Aron Ralston's story is worthy of theaters near you. That meatsack Miss California has only been infamous for a few months and already has a book ...

Legendary skier and Jackson Hole local Doug Coombs was inducted into the Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame . Coombs died three years ago while skiing near La Grave resort in France. He was trying to reach a friend who'd slid out of view when his skis couldn't hold an edge on a rocks just beneath ...

Rocky blogged about this last week , but now, thanks to Dead Point Magazine , there's video of Max Zolotukhin falling while attempting a free solo of Supernova, a 30-foot 5.14b sport route at Rumney. When you look at the landing, it seems like Max was pretty lucky to come away with only the ...

If you find yourself having next Wednesday off work and you live close enough to make it to a national park, you're in luck; Charlotte Durif can hang with you unless you're one of about 10 male climbers in the world; of course someone is planning to open a hotel in space -- next up, ...

I've seen both of Alstrin Films' previous videos, and was at the premiere of their last work about the first ascent of the Supercrack of the Desert . Solid work, both of them. The newest, The Continuum Project, looks like it should be up to par. DVDs ship Nov. 27. More info at AlstrinFilms.com .
