The past few days have been filled with some incredible highs: Mikaela Shiffrin’s latest record; Alex Honnold’s latest climb; Eileen Gu’s ongoing run; Mark McMorris’ X Games dominance; and Ben Richards’ hot start on the FWT. But at the same time, we are all witnessing some staggering lows. And today, we talk about it all.

Note: We Want to Hear From You!

We’d love for you to share with us the stories or topics you’d like us to cover next month on Reviewing the News; ask your most pressing mountain town advice questions, or offer your hot takes for us to rate. You can email those to us here.
