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.

Large, rimless frames provide unrestricted views of the more→mountain, while Oakley's Prizm lens offers unrivaled clarity and enhanced contrast in flat light. Its oversized design also accommodates eyeglasses, but will still fit seamlessly with your helmet, using moisture-wicking face foam for a comfortable fit against the face.

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.

Catered to backcountry skiers who like to do it all, the Scarpa 4-Quattro XT Alpine Touring Boot has your back on the steepest terrain whether you are accessing it via lift or legs. We like how these more→boots look and feel like a backcountry touring boot when wee need them too, but offer 4 aluminum buckles and a GripWalk sole for when the resort comes calling. The 115 flex drives our ski through resort chop or untouched pow, while the 100mm last delicately balances comfort and warmth with a slop-free powerful fit.

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.
