Good Good Bad: Swimming Lake Powell
Shane Schieffer just swam the entire length of Lake Powell self-supported in 11 days. He also just turned 50 years old and had no previous experience in long distance swimming. Shane talks about following through on personal challenges, no matter how far-fetched they seem at the moment.
Check out Shane’s Instagram for his videos that documented his swim.

A Snowball’s Chance Part 2
Mount Bachelor, one of America’s largest and beloved ski resorts, was put up for sale in August of 2024 after two decades of contentious corporate ownership. Sensing a sliver of opportunity, a high school teacher, a housing appraiser and local home builder launched a community campaign to put this ski hill back in the hands of locals. What started as a Facebook thread, snowballed into a legitimate would-be buyer with $100 million in local backing that collided into Wall Street players, the specter of climate change and the looming reality that the joy of skiing is no longer a simple business to run.
This is the 2nd episode in a two part series. Start with A Snowball’s Chance Part 1.[/vc_column_text]

Tales of Terror Vol.16
We seek solitude. We find that place a little further out to camp, a couple of extra miles down trail. Sometimes curiosity pulls us farther off the beaten path. Maybe the late afternoon feels just a little more perfect in an isolated basin. But what happens when the darkness closes in, leaving us with only a bubble of tepid light from a headlamp?
Welcome to our annual Tales of Terror.
Stories from Lydia Syme, Brian Glenn, Ray Fitch, Meghan Bartz and Lachlan Mackenzie.
