By Tim, Tubbs Ambassador In my spare time/vacation time I plan, coordinate and guide outdoor back country adventures. It is a non-profit grass roots operation I call Medicine Lake (Nature is Good Medicine). Participants are friends and friends of friends. We split the costs of pre and post trip lodging, park fees, trail food, etc. …
By Diane Groff, Tubbs Ambassador Last week we travelled to Washington state to enjoy a week of outdoor fun with our son, Ben. Ben lives in Leavenworth, WA , a place where many adventures can take place. One of our highlights was seeing the snow start to appear above 5,000 feet.. the wet weather proved …
It’s everyone’s favorite season–SNOW SEASON. You probably thought we were going to say Holiday Season, weren’t you? Well yes, that season is great too. But, instead of focusing on Black Friday specials and practicing your best right hook for the mall crowds, we’re jumping on the “get yourself outside” bandwagon. You might be familiar with …
It’s time to start planning–Halloween is approaching which means the stores have Christmas decorations out already (we kid, we kid)–and we’re on the hunt for some epic snow hikes. If you haven’t met our awesome new Ambassador crew, you should. Here is a list of favorite winter spots from the people who know it best. Follow …
From Sheila, Tubbs Ambassador This past summer, my husband and I decided to take an extended vacation, for the very first time in our 31 years of marriage!

We’ve always tried to support the snowshoe community and the people who use our products. To us, snowshoeing is not just what’s on your feet, it’s the experience the shoes give you. Our snowshoes might …
By Tim Taylor, Tubbs Ambassador Every fall I usher out another Medicine Lake Trip season with either a backpacking trip or a Boundary Waters Canoe Area excursion. It’s a perfect time; temperatures begin to cool, the pesky mosquitoes are pretty much non-existent and, of course, the leaves are changing. This past September we elected to …
We’re ready! We’re ready for winter to come! This week a huge chunk of the country is either under water (we’re thinking of you southeast Texas!) or getting pummeled with forest fires (stay safe Oregon and Washington!). While we all know unexpected weather is the only thing you can expect, it’s not too much to …
For some of us, we’re lucky enough to have spent the last few months with snow being only a short jaunt away (or, probably, a little trip up to higher altitude). But for most, the wish for snow has slowly started to creep in. Back to School sales are starting, and what follows that are …
Believe it or not, the end of summer is quickly approaching. Don’t get us wrong, we love the summer months as a time to get out and enjoy snowless activities (yes, the Tubbs crew enjoy other active endeavors!), but the end of the warm months leave a lot of us wishing for an early snow. …
