The Burton Cartographer Snowboard is an excellent snowboard for free riders, featuring a Dualzone EGD that provides excellent hold and response while remaining strong. It’s a great daily driver and good if you enjoy getting some air, with the 5mm taper making it great for turning. As for weight, it’s a medium board, and for price and features, it’s a pretty nice deal, all things considered.

A directional snowboard for freeriding, the fish shape is an interesting throwback and great for those who might want to experience how rides were in the past. With a polyurethane strip around the board to provide some dampening, the reverse side-cut profiles help with maneuverability at low speeds and all-mountain runs. It excels at powder too, so if you love plowing through snow, this will serve you pretty well.

Rossignol XV Sushi Snowboard — $400, was $500

Xavier De Le Rue is an impressive and pretty well-known snowboarder, and this board is made to his specifications, being an intersection between Japanese surf and overall snow culture, which is pretty cool. The Sushi XV works well in powder, sinking in just enough to give you both power and control while still providing a smooth ride. If you’re looking for a top-end snowboard for aggressive style with a bit of playful flair, this pro board is the one.

Wildfire forces closure of Grand Canyon’s North Rim for the season—and maybe longer

Grand Canyon National Park faces massive closures due to natural disaster

A sweeping view of Grand Canyon on a winter morning

The Grand Canyon is one of the many areas currently affected by the Dragon Bravo Wildfire, which began last month. According to AZ Central, officials speculate that the fire began due to a lightning strike, which then spread rapidly due to sustained winds of 20 miles per hour, with gusts reaching up to 40 miles per hour. As of July 27th, 2025, the fire was still active, and the National Park Service reports that somewhere between 50 and 80 structures have been lost, including many administrative buildings and visitor facilities. Fortunately, they also report that no one has been injured, and no loss of life has been reported. Unfortunately, this devastating fire has closed the North Rim for the remainder of the season, and possibly longer.

Torsus Praetorian Liberra is a luxe motorhome disguised as a rugged, off-road RV

Go-anywhere capability meets high-end studio apartment luxury in an impossibly over-the-top design.

A Torsus Praetorian Liberra off-road RV parked in a desolate landscape.

In the world of driveable RVs, the largest rigs (think over-the-top, Taylor Swift tour-worthy motorhomes with all the fixin's) typically trade off-road capability for luxury. Of course, longer wheelbases, high-clearance roofs, and insanely heavy curb weights just aren't conducive to off-roading because, well, physics. But for those who refuse to compromise, there's the all-new, all-absurd Torsus Praetorian Liberra.
Everything we know about the Torsus Praetorian Liberra off-road RV

On the outside, the Torsus Praetorian Liberra exudes "Martian tour shuttle bus" vibes with the sort of straightforward, all-business silhouette found on personnel-carrying trucks and transport vans. But the upgraded ground clearance, chunky, oversized tires, and high-intensity light arrays hint at something more at play. German builder Dämmler bills the original Torsus Praetorian as "a vehicle that deliberately finds its territory off the beaten track. Whether it's transporting miners through open-cast mines, tourists to volcanoes, or military operations, the Praetorian knows its job." In its base trim, it's not designed as a chariot for uber-wealthy overlanders. But Dämmler sought to expand the vehicle's initial intent with the all-new Liberra model: "A perfect companion for discovering the world, the Liberra combines it into a new type of motorhome." This is a go-anywhere rig designed to take you from A to B ... to Z, and everywhere in between in style.
The Liberra shares the same underpinnings as the OG Torsus Praetorian, including a MAN TGM chassis and a beefy, six-cylinder diesel that pushes power to all four tires. With a 27.5-inch (70 cm) ground clearance, it's more than capable of fording rivers and driving over just about anything you need it to. Rounding out its off-road-centric design are three differential locks and an integrated cable winch, in case your off-roading goes a little more "off" than you were expecting. It's all wrapped in an ultra-durable GRP skin with a mil-spec external finish.
But what separates the Liberra model from its predecessor is the interior. Every last fixture, feature, and piece of furniture has been swapped out to create a rolling luxury studio apartment. The rear sleeping quarters are available in one of two configurations: A pair of beds designed to sleep up to four adults or a single, larger bed that's perfect for couples sans children. Beyond that, both configurations include a generous, full-featured wet bath, tons of storage, and a kitchenette. Extensive wood detailing, tasteful accent lighting, and a high-end fit and finish throughout elevates the interior well above what we've come to expect from "ordinary" RVs.

This Yosemite campground is finally open after a 3-year, $11M renovation

Yosemite National Park, California

Tuolumne Meadows Campground, originally constructed in the 1930s, has been a staple for Yosemite visitors, accommodating up to 2,200 guests nightly and serving over 141,000 overnight stays annually. However, the campground closed in 2022 to undergo a huge rehabilitation project funded by the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA). This closure was necessary to address more than $11 million in overdue repairs to Yosemite, including Tuolumne, since most of this campground's infrastructure dates back to the Civilian Conservation Corps era or Mission 66, and it wasn't designed for today's surge in visitation.

The campground was completely off-limits to the public due to extended construction on key areas, including updating utilities and repairing environmental degradation along the Tuolumne River. But finally, it is open and ready for the 2025 season. Here's what you can expect:
