Camping under the stars with actor and environmentalist @shailenewoodley is a reminder that nature isn't a destination; it's all around us. Known for her roles in The Fault in Our Stars, Big Little Lies, and Divergent, Woodley has spent her life fighting for the planet. Whether advocating for climate action at Standing Rock or living with a deep sense of mindfulness toward the Earth, she’s constantly inspiring others to reconnect with nature in the simplest ways. In the heart of Malibu’s Leo Carrillo State Park, Outside writer Melissa Johnson chatted with Woodley about love, life, and how small acts of care can make a big difference for our world. For Woodley, protecting the planet and caring for people come from the same place—and she’s here to show us how. We're honored to have Woodley on our November/December 2024 Outsiders of the Year cover. Tap the link in our bio to read the feature story on Woodley.

“A New Winter” is a fine art photography project that reimagines winter sports culture. Inspired by @sofia_jaramillo5’s experience as a Latina growing up in Sun Valley, this project highlights the evolving culture of winter sports. It contrasts traditional images and invites a vision for a more inclusive future. We’re excited to announce that Jaramillo’s project, “A New Winter,” is featured in an 8-page spread in the November/December 2024 edition of Outside Magazine, and it’s now live online! 🎉 Over the next four months, we will be sharing images and stories of the incredible athletes and individuals who helped bring Jaramillo’s vision to life. You can check it out online, in Outside Magazine, or in person this winter at the Sun Valley Museum of Art! Jaramillo wants to give a special thanks to @kyrakennedy for believing in her work. 💙 Image Caption: Quannah ChasingHorse, a model advocating for Native sovereignty and inclusion in outdoor sports, is pictured at the Roundhouse in Sun Valley, Idaho.

In her debut book "The New Tourist: Waking Up to the Power and Perils of Travel," journalist and travel writer @paigemcclanahan challenges the growing tensions between tourists and locals, urging travelers to become more mindful and responsible. With over 1.5 billion international trips expected in 2024, McClanahan emphasizes the need for a shift in how we approach travel—not just as consumers, but as curious, humble visitors who respect local cultures and environments.

Search and rescue crews in rural Vermont are praising a small electronic tracking device for helping them save two people in the backcountry. On Saturday, December 7, Drew Clymer, the deputy chief of Stowe Mountain Rescue, received a call from a local woman who said her husband and eight-year-old son hadn’t returned from a backcountry ski outing. The sun had gone down and temperatures were plummeting, so Clymer radioed other members of the team to launch a rescue operation. The region where the two had gone missing is called the Bruce Trail, which is located adjacent to Stowe Mountain Resort. A recent storm had dumped nearly a foot of fresh powder on the area. “Everybody knows the Bruce,” Clymer said. “Back there you’re a long way from home if something goes wrong.” The woman then told Clymer that her son was carrying a device called a Jiobit, a GPS tracking tag made for children. The device, which is about the size of a thumb drive, connects to a smartphone app that shows the location of the device on a map. Clymer asked the woman to meet him at the Bruce Trail parking lot with her phone. When Clymer opened the Jiobit app, he could see the boy’s exact location on a detailed map, several miles from the trailhead. Clymer and other rescuers zipped into the backcountry on an ATV and found the missing duo within 15 minutes of departing. Stowe Mountain Rescue has not released the names of the rescued individuals.

Biniam Girmay (@biniam_girmaye_hailu_) made history at the 2024 Tour de France, becoming the first Black cyclist to win a stage and claim one of the event’s iconic jerseys. The 24-year-old from Eritrea, who also triumphed in three stages and earned the green jersey, hopes his success will inspire more African riders to break through in professional cycling. Girmay’s journey—from growing up in Asmara to conquering Europe’s toughest races—embodies resilience and talent. His groundbreaking achievements earned him a well-deserved spot on Outside's 2024 Outsiders of the Year list, solidifying his role as a trailblazer in the sport.
