Ride Agenda 152 2023 /2024

We always pull on the Julbo Sniper L Nordic Zebra Photochromic Goggles for our trips to the trailhead to help maximize our comfort and enjoyment on the trail. These goggles are built specifically for more→cross-country skiing thanks to a quickly ventilating lens that helps eliminate fogging on the uphill and cold air in our eyes on the downhill. The large spherical lenses boost our peripheral vision and provide clear optics that boost contrast on flat light days so that we can see minor imperfections in the trail and beat our own personal best.

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.

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.

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.

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.

From peak to park to pow, all the zones on the mountain are easier to navigate when we're locked into the thirtytwo Lashed Double BOA Snowboard Boot. With a versatile medium flex and micro-adjustable more→zonal Boa laces, this boot ensures our feet are feeling fine no matter the terrain. Supportive backstays and independent eyestays keep the boot responsive and evenly flexing long beyond opening day, and the thermo-moldable Team Fit liner fits the contours of our feet to eliminate rubbing and sliding within the boot.

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.

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.
