Earlier this year, TWIX announced the release of the new TWIX Cookie Dough and, along with it, a competition to help design the TWIX splitboard. Well, the wait is finally over. The Doughboard is here, and it sure is unique.

This limited edition board, designed in two parts by Olympian Maddie Mastro and a lucky fan, is up for grabs before the end of the season. TWIX is giving away 110 Doughboards, along with a supply of TWIX Cookie Dough bars to power you through those backcountry touring trips.

Much like in TWIX folklore, the two halves of this splitboard are not the same but come together to create something beyond the ordinary.

On one side, you’ve got the retro surf-inspired design from Olympian Maddie Mastro, combining her two favorite pastimes of snowboarding and surfing. On the other, you’ve got the competition-winning entry. This design features colors from the Cookie Dough packaging but clearly takes inspiration from the mountains where the board will find its home.

If you can see yourself crushing the backcountry on one of these, head over to the Twix website to find out more and enter their competition. As well as the chance to get your hands on the Doughboard — in whichever size suits you best — there are also Cookie Dough bars up for grabs. Competition entries close on April 19th, with winners notified shortly after.

With so much of the snowboarding season still to go in 2023 and resorts promising snow until July, you still have plenty of time to get the Doughboard out for a shred. Head over to TWIX now to enter.

Seeing bear poop on the trail? Here’s what you should do

Bear poop: what it looks like and what to do about it

what to do if you see bear poop daniele levis pelusi wxmzt3sie4g unsplash

While hiking in the woods, it's not uncommon to come across a pile of animal waste. It's gross, to be sure, but identifying scat is actually one of the easiest ways to keep yourself safe from dangerous wild animals. These telltale signs can mean the difference between you charging through into a bear's territory or not, so knowing what to look for can help keep you safe. Here is everything you need to know about bear poop and what it means if you come across it in the middle of the woods.
What does bear poop look like?

Bear poop can vary in appearance. This is because bears may have different diets, or they might even be different kinds all together. Generally, bear scat is larger and more cylindrical than human or dog feces. Segments can be several inches long and about 1-2 inches in diameter, but the size of the scat does not always directly correlate to the size of the bear. The contents of the bear’s recent diet play a larger role in determining scat size and appearance. For instance, a bear that recently ate a lot of berries may produce more, but smaller, scat compared to a bear that consumed a large animal or fish.

Camping in the rain? Here’s how to stay dry and comfortable

There's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong gear. Stay camping in all weather with our top tips

Man camping in the fall

Waking up to a rain forecast on the morning of a long-anticipated camping trip fills most campers with a sense of dread. The thought of wet gear, muddy trails, and soggy clothes might be enough to make you second-guess your adventure. But before you cancel your plans, you might be surprised to that camping in the rain doesn't always have to ruin your parade. With the right preparation, you can turn this forecast into a positive and memorable experience. Don't let the rain dampen your trip! Here are our best tips for bad weather.
Know before you go

You should never go into the outdoors feeling unprepared, and the key part of your preparation is checking the weather forecast. The more you know about what you're getting into, the better prepared you can be for your trip. First, ask yourself the question: Does your proposed trip still work? Rain shouldn't stop play, but torrential rain can mean that certain hikes, trails with river crossings, and even some campsites aren't going to be an option. Evaluate carefully, and make the safe decision.
