Santa Cruz Skata Curb 160 2016 /2017

Battling all day is difficult, but it would be even harder if we weren't peering through the Sweet Protection Durden RIG Reflect Goggles. These goggles ensure we can swap lenses on a whim, see in flat more→light thanks to RIG contrast-boosting technology, and stay out longer than ever before with anti-fog treatment and excellent ventilation.

Giro’s Revolt Goggles are built with a combination of style and performance, enhancing our vision and keeping out the elements while attracting the attention of others on the mountain. The newest Vivi more→d Lens Technology with Optics by Zeiss intensifies contrast while also blocking UV rays, while an anti-fog coating and Evak Vent Technology minimize fog to keep distractions to a minimum.

A big part of heading into the mountains for a day on the slopes is being surrounded by snow-capped peaks and appreciating the details dotting every run. The SPY+ Legacy SE Goggles allow us to soak in more→the scenery and spot every hazard on the hill thanks to their wide field of view and distortion-free lenses. Happy Lens technology boosts the color and contrast of everything on the mountain for exceptional clarity, so we can seek out side hits while avoiding tree wells and buried logs. Made with a slightly smaller frame than the Legacy model, the Legacy SE fits snugly for maximum comfort in the mountains.

When we want to attack deep snow and challenging terrain wherever we can find it we buckle up the Rossignol Alltrack Pro 120LT MV GW Ski Boot. These familiar boots combine a 2-piece Grilamid construct more→ion with 4-buckles and a heat-moldable liner to lock our foot and help us drive power to our edges for confidence on steep terrain and in deep snow alike. Toss in the 100mm last that keeps our feet warm on the lift or skin track and the more-than-capable walk mode that encourages us to walk to remote ridges and we have a boot that can really do it all.

thirtytwo brings convenience to riders new and old in the Shifty BOA Snowboard Boot. With a soft flex, comfort-focused liner, and lightning-fast BOA Fit System, learners can progress with ease and exp more→erienced shredders can enjoy the comfort of this easy-going boot.

The X2 is an introductory touring boot with warmth and stability for all-around use. The boot's tall cuff and zip-up lace cover seal out snow, while a Thinsulate lining wraps your foot for warmth. The more→touring-specific sole and lateral heel support provide stability for all-around trail skiing.

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.
