Winter Running

Winter Preparation The fall of 2010 lulled us all to sleep prior to the winter weather upon us. The memorable trail runs amidst the golden aspens and warm temperatures have become just that – memories! Running outdoors during the winter months…

14th Annual Bozeman Ice Climbing Festival

In the late sixties and into the early seventies, climbing, on any medium was a far different game than it is today. Ascending difficult rock routes, for example, meant you wore a nappy old head band tied around an even nappier head of hair and the…

406: For Beginners

As winter wraps itself around our curvy natural state, we are compelled to accessorize with an arsenal of winter gear. Dusting off those Sorels gives me an odd sense of pleasure, as if I am unholstering a life saving piece of integral warfare…

Hey Bikers: Don’t forget you ARE Traffic

Brian Menkhaus You have a bike? Good for you. Now learn to ride it. What I don’t mean is screaming around corners, hopping between lanes and blowing away all traffic laws with a flip of your fingerless-gloved hand. You ARE traffic. You actually DO…

Bike Month: It’s Time to Fix it Up

Brian Menkhaus It’s that time again. Winter has released its icy grip and allowed the sun to once again warm our faces, lure us outside, and tease us with weather perfect for biking. And, as always, it pukes another twelve inches after all the…

Norris Hot Springs-Water of the Gods
