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.

Arc’teryx x BEAMS: The blend of Alpine tech and Tokyo style

Arc'teryx x Beams

The new Arc’teryx x BEAMS collection celebrates the brands’ 25-year collaboration and the blending of technical function with street-savvy style. The line highlights a re-creation of the 1998 Arc’teryx Theta hardshell, a Gamma softshell jacket, and Jogen bouldering pants. All come in the signature Kōyō color palette, modeled after Japan’s autumn leaves.

I wore the Gamma Jacket and Jogen pants during the fall changeover in Virginia’s picturesque Shenandoah Valley, testing for warmth, wind resistance, and style. Here’s my take.

More than a name: Meet Eddie Bauer, the true-life explorer behind your outdoor brand

Clothing, Hat, Face

From the time I was a little man, I excitedly tugged at the shirt tails of my father and grandfather every time they left the house to do anything relatively outdoorsy. They would leave the house hauling gun cases, fishing poles, camping gear, hiking packs. The men of my life loved everything adventurous, and they would do it every chance they could. When I was big enough, I would be allowed to come with them. I got my own boots. I procured my own active wear that could resist the weather. I opened my own parka for Christmas. Not only was I now in the same boat with them, in the same tent with them, and in the same deer stand with them. I also wore the same brand as them. Eddie Bauer was their go-to, and it had become my go-to.

But what was it about that brand? What was it about the man behind the brand that became the man’s best friend in the wilderness? Well, here is what you need to know about the guy who ditched the work world to open an outdoor brand simply so he could go outdoors all the time. And made it possible for my grandfather, my father, and then me.
