A big part of heading into the mountains for a day on the slopes is being surrounded by snow-capped peaks and appreciating the details dotting every run. The SPY+ Legacy SE Goggles allow us to soak in more→the scenery and spot every hazard on the hill thanks to their wide field of view and distortion-free lenses. Happy Lens technology boosts the color and contrast of everything on the mountain for exceptional clarity, so we can seek out side hits while avoiding tree wells and buried logs. Made with a slightly smaller frame than the Legacy model, the Legacy SE fits snugly for maximum comfort in the mountains.

For a great fit and view, we kit up with the Smith Squad S Goggles. We get that made-for-us feel with the soft foam and responsive frame molding to our face. The semi-rimless design and oversized cyli more→ndrical lens give us an unobstructed view of the mountain, while the color- and contrast-enhancing ChromaPop tech ensures we see every variation in the terrain.

The Oakley Target Line L Goggles give plenty of coverage when we're riding the summit chair under heavy snowfall. The winds might be whipping, but our cheeks stay cozy thanks to the larger fit and fac more→e foam lining. When winter's chill turns to spring sun, we appreciate the anti-fog treatment keeping the lens crystal clean when we work up a sweat.

Don't listen to the try-hards that preach about 130 flex boots, many skiers are way better off in a softer boot like the Rossignol Hi-Speed Pro 100 MV Ski Boot. The 100 flex of this boot offers power more→when you need it and forgiveness when things go wrong, while the 100mm mid-volume last keeps your feet in place and pressure-free throughout long days.

The Burton Ritual LTD Step On Snowboard Boots feel especially high-end—because they are. First and foremost, Step On technology secures these boots right to our bindings, no straps required, for a qui more→ck connection that's just as solid as its counterparts. They're made with Burton's lightest materials, so we feel lighter and fly higher when hitting jumps and sending it off side-hits. And the BOA Fit System delivers such a precise fit that each movement feels engineered for our success. Burton's heat-moldable Imprint 3 liner feels excellent right out of the box, and the low-profile sole keeps us closer to our board for even more intuitive riding.

From peak to park to pow, all the zones on the mountain are easier to navigate when we're locked into the thirtytwo Lashed Double BOA Snowboard Boot. With a versatile medium flex and micro-adjustable more→zonal Boa laces, this boot ensures our feet are feeling fine no matter the terrain. Supportive backstays and independent eyestays keep the boot responsive and evenly flexing long beyond opening day, and the thermo-moldable Team Fit liner fits the contours of our feet to eliminate rubbing and sliding within the boot.

The Dakine Low Roller Snowboard Bag is the bag of choice for everything from a weekend trip at a nearby mountain to a week-long dream trip epic. With 360 degree padding, it comfortably holds one board more→or two boards with bindings removed, outerwear, and a removable boot bag in the main compartment. The exterior zippered accessory pocket stows essential items close at hand, keeping your entire kit secure and in one place. It's handle pairs with a rolling luggage bag, for easy one-handed towing, while heavy-duty urethane wheels glide easily through airport terminals and parking lots. The Dakine Low Roller Snowboard Bag makes for smooth travel.
