One of our favorite things about working in the outdoor recreation business is going to the ski and snowboard trade show in Vermont every winter. It’s a great chance to test out the equipment and get a real feel for how it will perform on our tricky east-coast terrain, and we're excited to share our shop-tested picks for the best new men's snowboards of 2023.
When the temps start dropping, we start getting ready for winter trips to snow-covered ski resorts. But every adventure is different, and we pack differently, depending on the destination. We're here with tips for families who frequent local slopes — and for folks planning a road trip or venturing via plane to more majestic mountainscapes.
The temps are dropping and the flakes are falling; that means winter is on the way! The big question is, are you ready for opening day? Don’t wait until you are on the mountain to find out something is broken or no longer fits. Here are our top tips on how to get you and your gear ready for the best season yet
In general, we recommend getting a tune-up at least once at the start or end of each winter season. Tune-ups are an important part of keeping you and your equipment safe on the slopes.
In addition to what you'll be wearing and using on the mountain, here is what we always keep on hand in our bags just in case of the unexpected. As my mom always said, "it's better to have these things and not need them rather than need them and not have them." Today we’re going to tell you all of the extras that we pack in our bags on the way to the mountain.
