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.

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.

Our favorite option for learning to ride, The Shifty Snowboard Boot is stuffed with an incredible amount of comfort and convenience. Inside the Shifty, ThirtyTwo's microfleece-lined Comfort Fit liner more→provides a cozy-warm feel without irritation. This liner is comprised of Intuition foam for an adaptive, heat-moldable fit that wraps our feet in heavenly comfort and molds to the unique contours of our feet as we ride throughout the season. Its internal lacing system tightens over the liner to eliminate heel lift, and the comfy Evolution Foam sole softly cushions and reliably grips on icy walkways.

Back for another year, this iteration of the Scarpa Maestrale Alpine Touring Boot offers more uphill speed than ever before, yet it maintains the backcountry control it is known for. The uphill speed more→is created by the Pebax Rnew shell with carbon reinforcement in the lower boot and the 61° range of motion provided by the burly walk mode lever. On the downhill, the 110 flex allows us to drive our skis with minimal energy loss, the Pro Flex Touring liner molds to our feet to lock our heels in place, and the 16° of forward lean creates a traditional alpine stance that we can trust in spicy situations.

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.

Union's Juliet Snowboard Binding is a versatile all-mountain binding built to perform in various terrains, from stomping tricks in the park to controlled carving on the fresh groomers. Thermo-formed E more→VA bushings on the Stage 5 Duraflex baseplate dampen vibrations to keep our bodies free of fatigue, while the Stage 11 Duraflex highback maintains consistent flex no matter how cold the mountain gets.

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.
