Over two decades ago, TGR was built on a strong community of mountain lovers that shared the same interest of going into the mountains and living the dream. Now, at the end of 2017, this dream has evolved into many new forms, and our community has grown stronger than ever. We are stoked to share our favorite 10 stories published this year by our dedicated online community!

Cyrus Sutton is a talented filmmaker, surfer, traveler, and van hacker. He is in the midst of a new van build using a dually diesel Dodge Sprinter van, and shared his approach and techniques to building out the ultimate adventure van with TGR. It is one badass setup!
Chasing the Midnight Sun// A Trip to the Yukon With Dylan Sherrard, Jaime Hill, and Claire Buchar
Summer in Canada’s Yukon Territory has no shortage of daylight, and thus no reason to hurry. At 17, Dylan Sherrard moved away from Whitehorse to pursue a life of mountain biking, a path that would ultimately bring him back as his hometown became a sought-after destination for riding in the north. Fully embracing the leisurely pace of life, Dylan introduces Jaime Hill and Claire Buchar to some of his favorite people and places
Tatum Monod Talks Internet Hackers, Advancing Women’s Skiing, and Injuries. LPP #9
Tatum Monod came to the LPP Studios with her little dog Taj to sip some whiskey and have a conversation. Right off the bat we wanted to find out how Tatum got her start in skiing. She grew up in a family of skiers. Her Grandfather, originally from Chamonix, was a mountain man, her dad was a member of the Canadian Ski Team and the family business is, you guessed it, is a ski shop. She wasn't forced into it though. They let her decide when it was time. When that time came.... she decided to snowboard!
Jason Levinthal Tells the Stories You Haven’t Heard Yet. LPP #94
It can’t be measured what Jason Levinthal has done for the ski industry. He is an innovator. The steps he's taken his entire career, whether he is aware of it or not, has progressed our sport not only with the equipment we use but also with the way we do business. I arrived at Jason’s office at 8pm on a Sunday night to find him answering questions through the J skis online customer service chat window.
Utah Gap Revival
My arms are still tired. Yes it is August and its probably just that my arms feel tired when I look at these pictures of truck sized booters we built last winter. There are many many ways to "Full Send" on skis. You can huck a cliff, hit the terrain park or as you’ll see below...spend days on end building a wedge to gap the terrain between it and a smooth powdery landing.
Ski Mountaineering on Temple Crag
This past spring I road tripped out to California to take advantage of their fat snowpack after an above average season for the Eastern Sierras. I started out hitting Mammoth Park and lapping top to bottom runs on the Mammoth Gondola. A few days later Colter showed up with plans to camp and do some Ski-mountaineering in the Palisades near big pine.
Is This I-70 Resort A Gem Hidden in Plain Sight?
In 1859, when miners struck gold along the Blue River, the town of Breckenridge was founded. Breck (as the locals call it) has come a long way from a mining town and now boasts a robust variety of local restaurants, breweries, distilleries, art galleries and, of course, a world-class ski resort.
DIY Surfboards- The Dirtbag’s Guide
Shaping surfboards is a special activity. Unlike the construction of so much of our gear, giving birth to one of those shiny obelisks of foam and fiberglass is very attainable—even for dirtbags. The materials are relatively straightforward. The tools are rudimentary. The feeling that comes with riding your own board—one you’ve sweated over or been burned over—is complex and enthralling.
This All-Women’s Ski And Snowboard is Gaining Traction
Not too long ago, a notification popped on Facebook inviting me to a group called "Wyadho: Sisterhood of Shred." Like the Pantsuit Nation of the local outdoor community, the group was full of rad women interested in getting together to ski and ride in the area. The group was created by Coalition Snow, an all women's ski and snowboard company based out of Tahoe. The more I learned about Coalition, the more I've become excited to share the story of this company.
In Between Chemo & a Double Mastectomy, This Woman Went Skiing…A lot
A single drop of blood fell to the snow, making a hollow plop. Halfway up hiking a backcountry run, Dina Mishev stared down at the lone drop of red on white. More blood pooled to the point of her nose. Dina watched as another drop fell, joining the first one on the snow. The blood stared back at her, a reminder of all the reasons why she couldn’t let herself stop climbing.
