Published November 9, 2026 06:00AMOverview: The best ski boots for narrow feet are low-volume models with lasts of 97 to 98 mm. Our picks are the Lange Shadow LV, Lange Code 130 LV BOA, Salomon S/Pro Alpha C BOA, Nordica Promachine 3, Rossignol Hi-Speed Elite LV, and Tecnica Mach1 LV 130, with most priced between $550 and $950.

Published November 9, 2026 03:32AMBrenna Love grew up fishing on the Blackfoot, a snow-fed Montana mountain river that spans 130 miles from its headwaters on the Continental Divide to the confluence of the Clark Fork River, seven miles east of Missoula. Its cold, fast-flowing water makes for premier blue ribbon trout fishing, scenic canyons, and whitewater recreation. The Blackfoot was immortalized in Norman Maclean’s 1976 book A River Runs Through It and Other Stories, which was turned into a Hollywood film starring Brad Pitt in 1992. Love, 29, is a resident of Bonner, a former mill town with just 2,700 residents located…
Published November 9, 2026 03:04AMWhile the Type 2 athlete on your shopping list might enjoy simple pleasures, adventurers like them are hard to keep up with and even harder to shop for—after all, their gear closet is already overflowing. So we looked for gifts that either solve a real problem or create an excuse for a new adventure. From an $8 sit pad to an inflatable 13-foot sea kayak, these are presents for people who are happiest when they’re uncomfortable.

Going for a walk after a heavy meal controls blood sugar swings, eases digestion, and sets your body up for deeper rest. (Photo: Alexandr Dubynin/Getty)Published November 8, 2026 03:00AMHere’s a scenario many of us know too well: we eat a plate the size of a hubcap, then lose a fight with the couch by halftime. That slump has a name: postprandial somnolence, or what some people call a “food coma,” and it has a real biological basis. As Outside previously reported, the smart move after a big dinner is a short, easy walk or “fart walk,” which helps food move…
This comfy combo of recovery slide and foot massager adds decadence to my morning routine.The Hyperice pod hidden in the straps elevates the decadent coddling the Nike Air Zoom Hyperslide delivers. (Photo: 101 Degrees West)Published November 8, 2026 03:47AMFor more than a decade, every morning while I’m hand-grinding coffee beans for my moka pot, I do 15 to 20 squats. It’s a comforting morning routine, but it is mostly a discipline, a way to ensure I don’t let busy days keep me from working on my glutes to counteract hours of sitting. A month ago, however, I added decadence to…
Published November 8, 2026 04:00AMA weak summer sun strains to break through a darkening wall of clouds, its rays catching the shale. My boots methodically kick the rock loose as I work my way up a steep slope of scree. I’m slick with sweat, my helmet is chafing, and I’m completely alone in my misery. But the painstaking plod up the ridgeline of Bertha Peak in Waterton Lakes National Park does come with its rewards. When I stop to catch my breath, my gaze sweeps south toward the rugged peaks of neighboring Glacier National Park before flicking north toward my…

Published November 7, 2026 03:43AMIn 2017, National Park Service (NPS) climbing ranger Quinn Brett, 36, fell while ascending El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. The 120-foot drop left her paralyzed from the waist down. In a moment, she went from climbing soaring rock faces to moving in a wheelchair. Like many Americans with mobility disabilities, Brett faced challenges when she returned to outdoor places like parklands, trail systems, and even national parks. Some of America’s wildest places were no longer accessible to her. “To become disabled, and realize that I can’t even get across the street because there isn’t a curb,…
Published November 7, 2026 03:03AMIf you’re anything like me, winter is a catch-22. On the one hand, it’s the season for skiing, so I love it dearly. On the other hand, I live in a perpetual state of cold hands. I have pretty poor circulation, and as a result, my fingers and toes turn icy rather quickly. That’s why the gloves and mittens I wear need to be extra warm. I’ve found that while gloves are easier to grip ski poles with, I’ll trade a bit of dexterity for the extra warmth that mittens provide. If you also suffer from…
