Ride Smokescreen 153 2023 /2024

Just as an airline pilot needs a clear view of his landing, so do riders at resorts around the world need a clean sight on their next lift line. Oakley made its Flight Path Goggles with a generously-s more→ized frame, expanding your field-of-view at all angles, and it includes the beloved Prizm lens—making the subtle things in your path stand out even when the light is low. Please note: Oakley updated its sizing nomenclature in the 2021/2022 season. These Oakley Flight Path Goggles will arrive with either L or XL packaging and will have a similar fit.

We rock the Oakley Line Miner Prizm Goggle to make sure we have a full range of vision when we're eyeing up our next line. Its cylindrical shape sits close to the face to provide extensive downward an more→d side visibility, while the Prizm lens separates color for sharp definition.

With fun looks and a wide field of vision, the Giro Buster Goggle is perfect for young skiers and riders in ski school and beyond. This goggle is designed for a comfortable fit with a wide variety of more→helmets, so they’ll be able to focus on progressing their skills on the hill rather than constantly adjusting their goggles.

Setting out for no-frills, straightforward performance, Vans crafted the 2024 Encore OG BOA Snowboard Boot to strike gold on simplicity without cutting out the tech that riders love. These laid-back a more→ll-mountain boots feature a medium flex for versatility, a BOA Fit System with Coiler for a precision fit, and an ultra-comfy liner to prioritize out-of-the-box rideability. We appreciate that they're complete with the Vans-signature Waffle sole and side stripe for classic style and iconic performance that we can trust.

From morning warmups at the Nordic Track to a weekend skiing to a backcountry yurt, the Escape Outpath booth is built to get it done. It combines a warm layer of Thinsulate insulation to keep you warm more→, while SensiFit construction wraps your foot for a supportive fit all day.

Back for another year, this iteration of the Scarpa Maestrale Alpine Touring Boot offers more uphill speed than ever before, yet it maintains the backcountry control it is known for. The uphill speed more→is created by the Pebax Rnew shell with carbon reinforcement in the lower boot and the 61° range of motion provided by the burly walk mode lever. On the downhill, the 110 flex allows us to drive our skis with minimal energy loss, the Pro Flex Touring liner molds to our feet to lock our heels in place, and the 16° of forward lean creates a traditional alpine stance that we can trust in spicy situations.

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.
