You can manage an airway in the ED with your eyes closed.

Knowing when to call the chopper on a ridgeline at 11,000 ft is a completely different skill.

Come learn both in Crested Butte this summer!

Tech Tuesday:

DT Swiss 54T Ratchet Upgrade
54 engagement points = only 6.6° until power transfer (vs. 18° on a standard 18T)
Near-instant pedal engagement — critical on technical climbs & tricky rock gardens
Simple 2-part ratchet system with fewer parts to maintain
Drop-in upgrade — took me 5 minutes to swap out

Another upgrade that is instantly noticeable on trail and has made me a more confident rider, especially when it comes to track stands, balancing, and technical terrain.

It takes about a full week to acclimate to heat - and another week of inactivity to entirely lose that acclimatization that you worked so hard to get. Make sure you’re training leading up to Crested Butte 2026!

Shivering stops in severe hypothermia.

That's not a good sign. That's your patient telling you they've run out of options.

Fun Fact Friday:

For every 1000ft above 4000ft, the unconditioned person loses 4% of their aerobic capacity. That can be cut in half if you're aerobically fit.

If you're coming on our Crested Butte 2026 trip, that could mean you're working with 32% less of your normal fitness level, so start training hard now!

Most MTB injury content online is either gear marketing hype or fails.
We’re the one in the middle — actual clinical education on what happens when the trail wins, taught by physicians who’ve been there.
No sponsored content. Just CME credits and singletrack.

Caffeine withdrawal and acute mountain sickness present almost identically.
Headache. Fatigue. Nausea. Irritability.

We're not saying our lectures come with good coffee. But we are saying we've eliminated one diagnosis before you even hit the trails.

Tech Tuesday:

Radial casing = more sidewall flex for better bump absorption, which directly translates to feeling more confident on the bike in sketchy situations. I don't think this one is just hype, the extra grip is immediately noticeable.

Afterdrop is real — core temperature can actually continue to fall even after a hypothermic patient is removed from the cold.
Which means getting them inside is only half the job.

The other half? Show up to Crested Butte in July and we'll walk you through it.
