In fact, those activities were our first loves when it comes to outdoor adventure. But we love to try new things and explore, challenge ourselves and learn new skills. So when we finally moved to the mountains in Utah, we knew it was time to add one more outdoor sport to our repertoire: snowboarding. But being a beginner snowboarder can feel daunting. There's so much to learn and so much specialized gear required! Here's all the snowboard gear you need and why and how to pick out the best beginner gear so you can kick the season off right.

But do the new leggings also impress? We put them to the test to see if they fly or fail.

We love 'em. They allow us to get outside and blaze trails all winter long, no matter how much white powder covers the route. Indeed, we're convinced they're an essential piece of gear every outdoorist should keep in their closet. But with so many options to choose from (and so many price points!), how can one possibly be convinced they're getting the best snowshoes for the money? We recently tested two pairs of snowshoes from MSR and will help you map out the differences, plus answer some of your burning questions, like what snowshoes to buy, if expensive snowshoes are worth it, or which MSR snowshoes are the best of the best. Read on.

(By which I mean it's the holiday season; time to stuff some stockings...) But Outdoorsy folks can be hard to shop for, especially because we definitely don't need ANOTHER spork or pocket-sized multi-tool (please don't get us another spork...). Fortunately, being avid outdoorists ourselves, we know a little something about what hikers, campers, cyclists and kayakers WOULD love to find in a stocking hung by the chimney with care, so we made this handy list of outdoor stocking stuffers for outdoor enthusiasts. You're bound to find something they'll love.

(Yeah, yeah, I know, don't remind us...) 'Tis the season of consumerism! Personally, this time of year isn't our favorite, and we could do without all the obsessive shopping and buying crap just because you think you have to (you totally don't), but there is something to be said about a thoughtful, useful gift passed along to someone you love that shows them how much they mean to you and that you know them well enough to gift them something they'll love. But that's easier said than done! Especially if the people you love are outdoorsy (we tend to be fairly particular about our gear). So if you need some ides to get you started, here are 10 of the best gifts for outdoorsy folks this year. And yes, we've tested all of them and they get the Terradrift stamp of approval. Just shop responsibly, and spend some time outdoors with friends and loved ones this season.

So when that time comes, you want the best camping cookware on hand, ready to rehydrate those backpacking meals. What makes a camp cookware set the best? Well, that depends on you and your style of backpacking, who you're with, and what you plan to eat. So we tested a handful of ultralight cookware options to see which were tops and which are best suited for all different types of backpackers.
