I tested the Korua Transition Finder splitboard last year here in the Tetons and had a blast with the boards mix of backcountry touring into splitboard terrain and then just how dang fun the board was to ride. Think traditional snowboard vs riding a splitbaord on the downhill and you get a good feeling for […]
Buying a fancy avalanche beacon that has all the bells and whistles doesn’t mean you are prepared. It means you potentially have the tools to be prepared. Whatever avalanche transceivers you get, PRACTICE with it. Practice a lot. You need to be so good with your transceiver that you don’t even have to think about […]
Our 2025 snowboard test took place riding the legendary terrain at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, along with days across the West and even a few days testing in Hakuba Japan.

The following splitboard gear is what I recommend for splitboard touring in the backcountry which can be found in my snowboard backpack anytime I’m out splitboarding or backcountry snowboarding. I feel it’s better to be overly prepared than to spend an uncomfortable possibly life-threating night outdoors in the middle of winter. The gear I carry […]
That’s right, you’re seeing double. The Meelod DK300 Max electric bike has two hub motors and dual batteries for some serious oomph, making it one of the most unique models on the market. But is twice the power really better? I recently revved up the DK300 Max to find out if it’s double the fun […]
When you’re heading out into the wild for an outdoor photo shoot or extended car camping trip, the last thing you want to worry about is running out of power. I’ve been there, so I know just how vital it is to make sure you’ve got reliable tech on hand. For my latest shoot, I […]
