Check out this snowboard review of a super light board excellent for floating powder! This particular snowboard has a soft flex and is rated about a 7 out of 10 on the stiffness scale.

Looking for the best men's splitboard for the backcountry? Check out our Nitro Doppleganger review for all the details on this top-rated snowboard!

Backcountry riders know that the right splitboard can make or break a tour. You need something lightweight and responsive for the uphill—but also stable, dependable, and capable of handling a wide range of conditions on the way down. The Nitro Doppleganger strikes that balance. With its directional shape, carbon reinforcements, and Nitro’s Cam-Out Camber profile, it delivers confident edge hold on steep climbs and powerful carving performance on descents.

This board is hands down built for adventure—from long tours on the skin track to gliding effortlessly through deep powder. In this review, I’ll break down the specs, share how it rides, and explain what kind of rider will get the most out of the Doppleganger. If you're looking for a touring-focused splitboard that doesn’t sacrifice downhill performance for weight savings, this one deserves a serious look.

The Enchantments in May | Snow Lakes Trail to Core Zone (Spring Backpacking)

Hiking the Enchantments in spring is a completely different experience than visiting in the summer—and honestly, it’s one of the most rewarding backpacking adventures you can have in Washington State.

In this video, I take you along on our early-season backpacking trip in the Enchantments near Leavenworth, Washington. Our hike follows the Snow Lakes Trail to the Core Zone of the Enchantments in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Along the way, we experienced everything from warm spring trail conditions with blooming wildflowers to stunning waterfalls, snow-covered alpine lakes, and rugged granite peaks above. We even spotted several mountain goats along the trail.

This trip took place in mid-May, and conditions changed quickly as we gained elevation. Once above Snow Lakes, the trail transitioned into full snow travel, requiring careful footing, route-finding, and proper gear.

If you’re planning an Enchantments backpacking trip in May or during spring, this video gives you a realistic look at early-season conditions, key highlights along the Snow Lakes route, and what to expect before heading out.
