The 2025-26 winter saw extreme weather, with the eastern half experiencing consistent cold and heavy snowfall, while the western half endured record warmth and a lack of snowfall.

When Salt Lake City hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics, Deer Valley was at the heart of the action - and in 2034 it will once again take centre stage as the venue for freestyle moguls and aerials. Today, guests at The St. Regis Deer Valley can connect directly to that Olympic legacy through an exclusive partnership with the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation.

Olympic winter sports must be played on snow and ice, according to the Olympic Charter. But could a muddy field of play get its chance at a future Winter Games, even as soon as in the French Alps in 2030 or Salt Lake City in 2034? How about parquet in an indoor hall? Snow volleyball is ready and waiting. Those and other sports

It could be the last Olympics for a sport that mixes the grace of ski jumping with the grind of cross-country skiing. Nordic combined events at the Milan Cortina Games ended Thursday. And the International Olympic Committee is considering scrapping it from future Games because of a small TV audience and podium positions dominated by a tiny group of nations.

Knowledge is power in ski touring and life. Making informed decisions affects whether we ride powder or crust, impacting safety and enjoyment during backcountry adventures.

Cross-country skiing, the rugged grandfather of snow competition, will give its brightest stars a defining stage at the Milan Cortina Winter Games. Sporting greats such as Jessie Diggins of the United States and Italy's own Federico Pellegrino arrive at the Feb. 622 Games still in form but nearing the end of their careers. A cornerstone winter event, cross-country skiing traces its roots to centuries-old Nordic traditions and is considered one of the purest tests of endurance.

Starting on March 11 with the giant slalom races Montana State athlete Justine Lamontagne took the win for the women. Johs Herland from University of Utah won for the men's category, ultimately leading to an overall event win for University of Utah.

The sport is unique in that it asks for prolonged endurance on the uphill, then explosive strength and stability on the way down. Most gym routines do not train both. This one does. The five exercises Bell recommends are the single leg Romanian deadlift, the standard and multiplanar step up, the renegade row, the deep split squat, and the single leg hip flexor raise with band resistance.

On June 24 2022 the International Olympic Committee 'IOC' announced the addition of two new disciplines to the Winter Olympics. These disciplines are dual moguls and women's large hill ski jumping. The addition of women's large hill jumping leaves Nordic Combined as the last men-only Winter Olympic event. Today we'll take a closer look at dual moguls, which will premier at the ski resort of Livigno, Italy, at the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics for both men and women.

3-time Olympic alpine skier Tommy Ford sat down with Condé Nast Traveler to discuss the different types of snow conditions you find around the world, from the Beaver Creek in Colorado to Ushuaia, Argentina, and Lake Takapō in New Zealand. The discussion was mostly surrounding the snow conditions while racing or training, not the off-piste or regular trails that most skiers are riding, but he does touch on some other forms of snow.

Part of the opinion here might stem from growing up in Colorado. Where, up until this year, the snow was always good and skinny skis made up a nice decoration in the garage. When snow days would come by during my high school days I would always be ecstatic to strap on my 118 underfoot skis and ride from first chair till last.
