Winds might be whipping snow all along the ridge, but we can see clearly in Oakley's Target Line M Goggles. Even after we're sweating from hiking up the mountain, the Target Line's anti-fog coating en more→sures fog-free vision. We also appreciate the strap's helmet-compatible adjustability mixed with a cushy face foam that feels secure whether we're playing it safe or rocking a beanie.

The REACTIV more→lenses add contrast to snowscapes to add clarity. Meanwhile the anti-fog lenses fight off moisture when we are pushing towards the finish line.

Battling all day is difficult, but it would be even harder if we weren't peering through the Sweet Protection Durden RIG Reflect Goggles.

The Dynafit Hoji Free Ski Boot boasts comfort on the walk up and a stiff performance on the ride down. New to the Dynafit Hoji family, this touring boot rocks a full 55 degrees of motion in walk mode, more→for comfort and freedom on the skin track, and uses the new Interlock system to secure the fit for ninja-like performance on speedy descents. The Hoji Free keeps its toe bail so we can still step into our alpine bindings if we're hitting the resort after a morning in the backcountry, and its shell uses Grilamid blended with fiberglass to maximize power transfer in such a way that we don't even miss our alpine boots.

The Hawx Prime 120 Ski Boot is Atomic's best-selling alpine boot that thrives everywhere we take it at the resort. On steep groomers, the stiff 120 flex enables us to drive power to our edges and dig more→trenches.
