ROCKY THOMPSON

This libelous blogger is happy with an open pow run or free drink in front of him. The only two things in the world that motivate him are spite and irony. He suffers the beautiful women and free beer at every trade show to bring you the latest news in the Outdoor Industry. Rocky is also the man behind Steep and Cheap‘s rambling Daily Dose emails. If you just can’t get enough, check out his blog, Liquid Astronaut, or follow him on Twitter.

Michael Frank

MICHAEL FRANK

Michael Frank is finally old enough to claim that he’s been a writer and editor longer than the entire length of time when he was: a poor graduate student; a barista; an employee of REI; of Eddie Bauer; of Eastern Mountain Sports; of Paragon Sports in NYC; and of the Boulder Daily Camera, where he never penned a single word but drove a delivery truck of newspapers several nights a week from midnight to 4 a.m. to help pay his way through college. He’s skied and fished and hiked since childhood, mountain biked since college, rock climbed and snowboarded since about the same, and would probably try wing-suited flying if there was a way to do it for money. Michael has been an editor for Esquire, Forbes.com, National Geographic Adventure, Bicycling, and has written for Men’s Journal, Outside, Details, and Popular Mechanics. He is the managing editor of Adventure Journal.
