Never miss a hidden side trail through the trees again with the SPY Legacy Goggle. Whether we're just taking in the view from the top of the chairlift or we're headed down a rocky trail and avoiding h more→idden hazards, the Legacy Goggle's wide field of view ensures that we can take in the full picture whenever we hit the slopes. The low-profile, spherical lenses offer a clear, non-distorted view for optimal visibility all over the mountain. Outfitted with SPY's Happy Lens Technology for boosted color contrast and UV protection, these goggles light our path down the mountain.

Smith took everything we love about the standard 4D MAG Goggles and decreased the size for smaller faces to create the 4D MAG S Goggles. BirdsEye Vision technology opens up our peripherals so that w more→e can drop in with confidence. Smith's coveted ChromoPop lenses and world-class ventilation system deliver sharp optics and a fog-free fit.

The first powder day after a long dry spell can turn to low-viz pretty quickly. Pull the Smith Squad XL ChromaPop Goggles over our eyes and head into the madness with fellow powder-starved comrades. B more→oasting the largest cylindrical lens in Smith's fleet, the Squad XL delivers an expanded field of vision, so we spot those sneaky freeriders trying to snake our line in our peripherals. Smith's signature ChromaPop lens enhances color and detail, even if we spend most of our day in the white room. Anti-fog technology on the inner lens keeps things clear while we're huffing and puffing up the bootpack, and the silicone-backed strap holds our goggles secure if we decide to go big and eat it right …

We like to adventure beyond the beaten path and dip into the unknown whenever possible, but that doesn’t mean we want gear that’s unfamiliar or wavers under pressure, which is why we’re fans of the Ro more→ssignol XC 5. These stable and supportive XC touring boots provide a tall cuff and a 3D reinforced heel for lateral stability while you dip into the deeper snow beyond the track.

When a storm is rolling in our heads start going crazy with ideas, all of which we know we can accomplish in the Rossignol Alltrack Elite 130Lt LV GW Ski Boot. These boots blur the line between old an more→d new by offering a timeless 2-piece, 4-buckle design with GripWalk soles and Tech fittings for control and versatility. No matter where we are riding, the 98mm last and thermo-moldable liner lock our heel in place, while the 130 flex ensures we can get our skis to do what we want, when we want, where we want.

For crushing park laps, dialing in new skills, and deep, surfy carving, we prefer the soft flex of the ThirtyTwo STW Double BOA Snowboard Boot. This boot offers an easy-going and forgiving feel as w more→e maneuver rails and runs, but the dual-zone BOA lacing keeps us locked in and ready for anything. Comfort-focused features around the foot let us ride for hours.

Back for another season, the Lexa X EST Snowboard Binding still offers the most-popular pro-caliber control on the mountain. With upgrades that make this binding lighter and reground materials that ma more→ke the design greener, this year's edition is our favorite yet. Double Take buckles with Insta-Click let us strap in fast so we can keep charging lap after lap, and the supportive Heel Hammock and highback keep us comfortable while maximizing support. Underfoot, the strong, responsive, and shockingly playful baseplate is equipped with shock-absorbing EVA and B3 gel padding.
