CAPiTA The Equalizer By Jess Kimura 142 2022 /2023

The Oakley Flight Tracker S Goggles pulls its inspiration from Oakley's first true oversized snow goggle, the Canopy. This version takes it a step further by featuring the latest technology to ensure more→our field of visibility is optimal while cruising the mountains.

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.

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 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.

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.

You wish you could enjoy the ski resort from the first chair to last, but your toes go numb sometime after lunch every time. Instead of roasting your frozen feet by the fire while all your friends enj more→oy the afternoon, we recommend that you slip them into the Rossignol Women's Pure Pro Heat Ski Boot. This boot combines a Bluetooth-controlled heated liner with a wide last to ensure blood keeps flowing in your toes so that you can stay on hill all day.
