There are once-in-a-lifetime adventures. Then, there’s an arctic skiing and sailing expedition that lets you call a yacht home.

You’ve seen #japow on your social feed; I went to Hokkaido on a whim to find out if Japan powder is actually that good.

Leading you to the base of Mount Fitz Roy, this trek snakes through vast valleys, among jagged spires and past glistening glaciers.

Climbers have chased the Bugaboos since 1916. I’ve been going since 2008, and my all-time favorite is a 5.11 splitter.

I came to Cape Verde at 19 with a friend. Now I live here and ride waves up to 300 meters (985 ft) long.

Synonymous with deep powder and long descents, Rogers Pass is classic Western Canada backcountry skiing at its best.

Two weeks before my wedding, I flew to Kalymnos, a Greek island of about 100 km² with 700+ routes graded 7b and up.

I first visited Indian Creek in 2013 and have made the pilgrimage ever since. A perfect #2 Camalot is a perfect jam.

I once trekked across the world’s deepest frozen lake to an island steeped in shamanic mysticism. Here’s what it takes.

On Skye I hike where dinosaurs left footprints, among fairy circles, and where clans spilled blood.

12 days, up to 13 miles (20 km) a day, and a country with 130 volcanoes. This is how I hike Iceland’s hidden trails.

Spending only a day in the Tantalus range doesn’t do it justice. I’ll tell you why.

The Inca Trail is not the easiest way to reach Machu Picchu, and as a local I’ll tell you why it’s the best.

My whole family skied Chamonix’s backcountry, from Vallée Blanche to Col de Beugeant, and I’ll tell you what we learned.

Three days, one Half Dome, and a long way to Yosemite Valley: let me show you how I hiked the John Muir Trail.

Red Rock Canyon is my favorite place on earth to climb, which is why I return year after year to this immaculate sandstone.

Eldorado Canyon holds some of America’s best classic climbs. Here’s all the intel you need from a local guide.

If you love Aspen’s champagne snow, try not to fall too hard when you experience its biking trails popping off in summer.

Smith Rock gave American sport climbing its start, and these are the history, geology, and walls I love.

If bike parks were candy shops, Whistler would be Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.

Three days in Aspen’s backcountry, skiing hut-to-hut before making one final epic descent. It doesn’t get much better than that.

New River Gorge climbing is brainy, bullet-hard, and endless. Check out the crags that made me fall for West Virginia.

Every style of climbing. For every level of climber. Year-round. And all within a day’s drive. That’s Sierra Nevada.

Rogers Pass has everything I’ve ever wanted as a backcountry skier — big vertical, deep powder and endless opportunity.

I climb in Squamish, where boulders run V0 to V15 and the Chief has multi-pitch routes. There’s a line for everyone.
