Playing on the slopes is something that Jackson Karsteter knows well. The 22-year-old freestyle skier, also from Lawrenceburg, is on the slopes of Perfect North at least six days a week, spending five to eight hours running down the slopes and perfecting tricks over and over again. It may sound strenuous, but Karsteter often goes with friends, who record each other’s moves—including what Karsteter says is a never-before-seen trick he’s calling the “back 540 swap pretzel 270,” which earned him first place in last year’s APIK comp—and the occasional play on snowboards, slacklines, or at skateparks. https://ow.ly/oHbT50Zec58

A few years ago, pandemic-related issues almost sent Quan Hapa to the restaurant graveyard in the sky. The longtime Over-the-Rhine eatery specializing in Asian street food closed for several months to “re-staff and adjust.” If you haven’t visited in a while, you’ll be happy to know the quality of the food remains steady despite the temporary hiccup. https://ow.ly/P94l50ZebKq
