Feel Good Feet: How a Fit ID Can Improve Your Runs

Columns, Run Wild / By Sarah Hauge

Not all that long ago, I wrote in the pages of “Out There” that I had been wearing a single pair of green Superfeet running inserts for the better part of a decade. Admitting that they were many times past their manufacturer-advised lifespan I wrote something like, “I’m sure they’re no longer helping, but they

Shoulder Season Celebration in the Inland Northwest

Columns, Editorial / By Summer Hess

Shoulder seasons get a bad rap.

Life on the Spectrum Lived Well on the Nordic Ski Trail

Get Out There, Skiing/Snowboarding / By Brad Thiessen

Trevin Hansen loves to go fast. And he lives loud. So that narrows his activities. No movies or quiet concerts. He’s also not a fan of most team sports. Baseball was a bust at an early age; it was too slow. But Nordic skiing, kayaking, biking, hockey (fast and loud!)—now those are the sweet spots.

Sticks vs. Boards: Conflict and Camaraderie at Spokane and North Idaho Ski Resorts

Get Out There, Skiing/Snowboarding / By Adam Gebauer

Skiers vs. snowboarders. One plank vs. two. Sticks vs. boards. It is a conflict as old as time; well, it’s at least as old as the early 80s when snowboarding started gaining popularity. This new way of riding or surfing the mountain was foreign to many skiers and resorts. In its early days of the
