Snowboarding
By Jenny Willden
Surf the mountain with this surf-inspired board with a shorter, wider profile that excels on any and all terrain. Size down 5–7 centimeters from your normal board for the best performance, and you’ll experience a smooth ride and fast edge-to-edge turning on ice, through trees, and in deep powder. On sale for $322
Skiing
By Melissa McGibbon
This jacket combines all the things you want on the slopes. Technical performance, luxury, movement, and, my, it’s pretty and stylish too. BioZone technology features a tactile feel for all-day comfort. $260
A smart go-to for the recreational backcountry adventurer, these wildly popular bindings perform really well on backcountry tour ascents AND descents. You can set the DIN setting to release like resort frame bindings. They’re super easy to use and have a smooth glide when ascending. $549
Don’t live with uncomfortable ski boots. Exchange your boot’s stock liners with these to boost your performance and enjoy the slopes a little more. The Godiva liners are specifically tailored to the curves of a woman’s leg, but there are options for men too. $187
Built with the precision characteristics of all-mountain skis teamed with big-mountain construction. They have a dedicated left and right design, with cambered inside edge for grip and stability, and rockered outside edge for quick turn initiation and smooth transitions. The construction makes the skis noticeably lighter by strategically reducing unnecessary weight. $599
