Mountain Rumor is a weekly newsletter for people who are obsessed with everything related to the outdoors. My name is Ryan Simonovich, and participating in sports like mountain biking and skiing has shaped my life and my perception of the world. I’m writing this newsletter to provide stories, reportage, and thoughtful analysis focused on mountain life and the outdoors. With a strong focus on recreation, I’ll write about everything from the economic impact of mountain bike trails to politics and culture. The scope is intentionally broad, so come along for the ride.
