Burton Ripcord 150 2013 /2014

A staple in the Spy line, the SPY+ Marauder Goggles provide crispy optics for die hard skiers and snowboarders who never shy away from storm riding. The Deadbolt lens system allows us to swap out cyli more→ndrical lenses to provide ourselves with clear optics and defined shadows throughout a day whether it is storming or sunny.

We rock the Oakley Line Miner Prizm Goggle to make sure we have a full range of vision when we're eyeing up our next line. Its cylindrical shape sits close to the face to provide extensive downward an more→d side visibility, while the Prizm lens separates color for sharp definition.

With more than 3 different shades, PROTON goes for color: now that's what I call pleasure! And pleasure that lasts all day as it can even be fitted with a ChromaKids photochromic lens to adapt to any more→changes in the light. Its wide field of vision and perfect helmet compatibility will allow 8 to 12-year-olds to ski comfortably, whatever the weather.

By taking inspiration straight from the skate park, Deeluxe's DNA Snowboard Boots are the ultimate pair for thrashing the streets or the resort's terrain park. The base of the boot features a super-gr more→ippy Skate Flex sole, providing the board feel for freestyle riding on and off the mountain. The Jib Tongue is thin, providing a direct boot-to-binding connection for enhanced power transfer without stiffening the boot. The hybrid lacing system is the icing on top, with a BOA Fit System dial locking our heel in place and traditional laces providing a customizable fit with reliable, old-school tech.

ThirtyTwo's comfortable and convenient Shifty BOA Snowboard Boot is a go-to, thanks to its versatile design. Even if cruddy conditions have us second-guessing, the motley of features in the Shifty wil more→l push us onward and up the lift for a fun day of riding. A soft flex mixed with a plush insole maximizes comfort around the ankles while lending forgiveness for minute errors when turning. And the BOA dial maxes the convenience factor, letting us adjust the fit or fly in and out of the boot in micro-seconds.

The Trilogy Snowboard Binding from Union has proved itself worthy in the biggest battlegrounds of freestyle snowboarding. Beyond nailing a park-worthy design, Union also optimized it to help us ride a more→ny snow type in any weather with superior control. Union's popular Duraflex material, a stiffer flex, comfortably secure straps, and loads of other boot-gripping features make the Trilogy ready to embark on any of our epic riding quests.

It features a reinforced main cargo space with plenty of room for a pair of alpine skis, or two pairs of nordic skis up to 192cm in length, and added protection for poles in dedicated pole compartment.
