Not all winter sports are extreme. For those who enjoy running, hiking or even just walking in wintry conditions, Kahtoola’s EXOspikes provide ideal traction on surfaces from trails to roads. Akin to crampons for less extreme use, EXOspikes attach to your favorite footwear via a flexible, sole-hugging harness with a raised heel tab for easy on-and-off motion. Twelve tungsten carbide spikes are arranged on a traction matrix that conforms to uneven terrains with lightweight, abrasion-resistant technology for multisurface use, and the included tote sack makes them convenient to transport and store. $64.95.

For completely custom skis precision-crafted in Telluride, all it takes is a 30-minute phone consultation with Wagner Skis. The no-molds process may be the world’s only fully tailored ski operation and assesses more than mere measurements, accounting for skill level, preferred terrain and more. Choose your material and select from a wide range of in-house graphics, or personalize your skis with your own design. Custom skis improve balance, comfort and control to make skiing not just more fun but safer, too. From $1,995.

For mountaineering and hiking in cold weather conditions, few considerations are as important as footwear. Protect your feet from both weather and injury with Mammut’s Kento Advanced High GTX boots, constructed of sustainable leather coated with a water-repellant Gore-Tex finish. Flexible Vibram soles provide maximum grip with minimal interference, and the boots are compatible with crampons for ice and heavier snow treks. Unlike many, these breathable mountaineering boots actually prove comfortable and are available in a variety of colors in both men’s and women’s sizes. $299.

Jul 24, 2024Althoff Grand Hotel Schloss Bensberg Review
After a long drive from our previous destination, it was a relief to see Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg in our view. When we pulled into the hotel court, I felt like we were pulling up to a royal palace. Considering the hotel was originally built as a castle for Prince Elector Johann Wilhelm II of Duesseldorf and his wife, Maria-Luisa of the Medici family, my thought wasn’t that far off.
