Holiday 2007
If you have an outdoors enthusiast on your gift list, you need help. This is an unusual breed with strange ideas of what makes a good gift. After months of poring over catalogs, testing out demo units and prodding countless products on store racks and shelves from Seattle to Salt Lake City, we've zeroed in on some suggestions for peak-experience gift-giving.

I'll admit up front, bras weren't on my list of gear to review. After hearing from several female readers wanting more information, though, we sent out a team of women to check out the latest offerings. What they found is that, just like the women who wear them, not all bras are created equal. A trio of testers took the challenge to find the perfect bra for outdoors women. What they found is that there isn't a "perfect bra" since every woman is a unique individual, with different body shape and characteristics, and with different preferences and comfort needs.

It's part of Washington, yet it often seems a world away.
The remote high-desert country of Eastern Washington stands in marked contrast to the crowded urban sprawl of Puget Sound country. The dry lands east of the Cascades and west of the Rockies present a unique landscape that, despite its differences with the rest of the Evergreen State, helps make Washington the natural wonder that it is.
Yet residents of Western Washington typically overlook the east side when seeking a wildland adventure. That's their loss.

I'm a snow snob, even on snowshoes.
When I'm skiing, either inbounds at a ski area or telemarking in the backcountry, I prefer crisp, dry snow to wet, clumpy concrete-like snow. Likewise, when I'm snowshoeing, I prefer billowing powder to soggy westside snow. I like the way the snow crystals puff up around my shoes as I stride. I also like open forest with clear views.

The reign of Edison's old "glowing filament" light bulbs seems to be drawing to a close.
The good, old incandescent bulb still dominates the marketplace, but the new kid on the lighting block is making serious inroads into the night. LED technology has taken the lead in popularity, at least in flashlights and headlamps.
