Jones Ultra Flagship 162W 2023 /2024

When we're flying around the resort, we wanna make sure our cockpit has the best visibility. That's why we'll be wearing the Oakley Flight Deck Prizm Goggles. A large frameless design opens up our fie more→ld of view, and special Prizm lenses boost our sight making sure no knolls are hidden ever again.

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.

As the smaller version of the popular Sniper the Sniper M Nordic REACTIV Goggles is catered to Nordic skiers with slightly smaller faces who demand high performance from all of their gear. 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.

The Burton Ruler BOA Snowboard Boot is the epitome of control, providing a stately platform for new and old shredders looking to step up their skills. Starting from the top, the Dual Zone BOA Fit Syst more→em allows us to find the most optimal fit, thanks to micro-adjustable dials that independently alter the upper and lower zones of the boot. Durable materials and a versatile medium flex keep us confident to traverse off-piste and into the park. For maximum comfort, Burton equipped these boots with heat-trapping features: 3M Thinsulate insulation, soft Man Fur lining, and heat-reflective materials ensure cold toes are never a worry.

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 Vans Hi-Standard OG Snowboard Boot brings the street style we love to the mountain with its classic Vans design and comfortable fit. They feature a medium flex that provides both support and play, more→making it ideal for stomping tricks in the park and ripping down groomers alike. We like the traditional lacing system for providing us with the ability to tighten or loosen certain areas for optimal riding comfort, and we also like the comfort and flex the V1 UltraCush Liner brings.

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.
