When Tracks first interviewed World Champion Molly Picklum
“I cannot believe it; I’m the world champion… I made it hard for myself, but I’m so stoked to bring it back to Australia,” said an elated Molly Picklum last week, who could barely talk in between her screams of joy as she was crowned the 2025 WSL World Champion. It was third time lucky for Pickles who had been defeated in the first round of the final five in each of the last two seasons. This timee, she won and deservedly so after coming into the final showdown in the Jeep Leaders Yellow Jersey.
Go be a Hero: Checking out Aspen’s new terrain
If you’re heading to Colorado, Aspen Mountain’s new terrain is a must-ski. This high-speed quad has opened up legendary backcountry lines, now lift-accessed for the first time. Here’s everything you need to know about the steep new chutes, fresh powder days, and Aspen’s latest places to stay and eat. Things change and yet they stay the same in the ski industry.
Breckenridge, The Five-Peak Playground Loved by Families
If more Australians knew about Breckenridge’s jaw-dropping high alpine terrain, windblown powder stashes and vibrant local après culture, I’m sure it would come up more on ski travel bucket lists. Yet somehow this five-peak megalith of a mountain with a storybook-like town has snuck under our collective radar. Breckenridge boasts the highest lifted point in North America at the top of its Imperial Superchair at 12,840 feet (3,914m).
ACL injuries are skiing's curse- here's what it took me to come back
When it comes to injuries, three letters spell disaster for skiers. The ACL – anterior cruciate ligament – keeps your knee stable when pivoting or moving sideways. When I tore mine skiing in the USA in 2024, I knew immediately. There was the unmistakeable “pop”, a buckling leg, and my crying crumple to the ground. A banana boat ride downhill and an emergency care visit confirmed my worst fear. “You’ve ruptured your ACL,” the doctor said with the empathy of an unbranded cereal box.
The Best Places to Visit in Greece Beyond Island Hopping off Mykonos Original
The cradle of Western civilization birthed democracy, philosophy, theatre, and the Olympic Games. It’s a place that has captured the imagination of travelers for millennia. And yet for all that humankind has documented about Greece, there’s nothing quite like experiencing this storied nation in person. The best places to visit in Greece go beyond Mykonos and Santorini. Greece spans islands, seas, and mountains.
The artisan ski and snowboard brands birthed in Japan powder
Japan has long been at the forefront of skiing. The host nation of two Winter Olympics showcased its supreme affinity for perfect carving and S-turns to the world in Sapporo 1972 and Nagano 1998. Over the decades, though, Japan’s association with disciplined ski racing has given way to a new obsession. That being the loose and chaotic, adrenaline-fueled drive for deep powder exploration. With over 15 metres of Hokkaido snow a season, you can see why.
Tasmania, Australia Travel Guide: Where to Go, What to Do
Visitors to Australia generally have a shortlist of icons they want to tick off: Sydney’s Harbour Bridge and Opera House, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Uluru (Ayers Rock) at sunset, the novelty of skiing in July, holding a koala bear, etc. But there’s far more to heading Down Under than iconic city scenes, massive monoliths, “off-season” schussing, and curious wildlife. Enter Tasmania.
‘Australians are born for this game’: the rise of the new Olympic sport of flag football
‘Australians are born for this game’: the rise of the new Olympic sport of flag football It’s the high-octane sport that will make its Olympic debut in Los Angeles in 2028.

Kate Allman trail running adventure on Cradle Mountain
Cradle Mountain is one of Tasmania’s most popular tourist attractions, with records of up to 200,000 visitors per year. It’s also one of the more dangerous trails to hit given the weather can be changeable and completely unpredictable, with snow, heat, sleet, rain and wind barraging through even in summer months. Kate Allman, as crazy as they come, decided to tackle Cradle Mountain’s ‘hike’ with her husband Nick in 2023; read on to find out who won the mountain v human race.

The cost-of-skiing crisis - overstocked Aldi a sign of the times?
Since 2008, it’s been a uniquely good-different phenomenon. Every year in mid-May, hordes of shoppers clamouring like wild animals outside grocery stores on a frosty Saturday morning. Grown men hurtling down aisles like they’re at a high school track meet. Women leaving fingernail marks as they scrabble in the centre aisle for thermal underwear and Gore-Tex. We’re talking of course about the Aldi skiwear sale.

10 Best Places to Visit in Australia for Every Type of Traveler-and When to Go Original
Australia's exotic animals, charming accents, and chaotic-looking football may feed far-flung pop culture to no end. Yet, too often, its spectacular surf beaches, world-class cities, eateries, wineries, remarkable national parks, and countless other attractions fly under the radar—or well beyond it.
I went skiing in the US, and left with $40k in medical bills Original
Few letters in the English language are more terrifying for active travellers than ACL. The anterior cruciate ligament in the knee stabilises your leg by limiting pivoting or moving sideways. Few of us know it exists until a high-profile athlete like Sam Kerr injures it. When I ruptured mine, I knew instantly. It was my first day on skis in a three-week trip across the US.

HockeyOne: Tigers nursing broken paws: The biggest stories to watch in Round 5
By KATE ALLMAN Casualty ward: four Tassie Tigers nursing broken hands It’s almost a rite of passage to cop a whack to the hand at some point in a hockey player’s career. However, it’s probably less than usual for four players in a single franchise to be suffering severe hand injuries at the same time. Far less in a short seven-week season. That’s exactly the misfortunate besetting the Tassie Tigers this week.
