Gregory Drift ski and snowboard backpack—the smallest Gregory winter pack, a scaled down Targhee pack
If you are looking for a small, compact and super nimble pack to take with you for a day of backcountry touring or trying to find untouched powder fields in the sidecountry, the Drift pack by Gregory is an ideal choice. While this pack still has many of the important and mainstay features every backcountry pack should have—roo

After making sure you have the best ski jacket, you’ll want to make sure you get a warm and comfy base layer to keep you toasty on the slopes. In fact, what you wear under your ski or snowboard jacket is just as important as your outwear.
It’ll keep you warm on cold days and give you mobility for when you hit the more challenging stuff. (Of course you’ll also wan

To kick off the new year, KEEN Footwear has just launched its Spring 2010 line which includes over 80 new shoes, sandals and bags.
One of the newest additions is the men’s Rockaway line, which has five different styles — shoes, slip-ons, clogs, sandals, and flip flops (pictured). It looks like KEEN is going for more of a sleek, urban look for spring (vs the typical granola look o

You’ve got the ski jacket, the snowpants, the goggles, the gloves, and the helmet, and you’re feeling ready to hit the slopes—but before you get dressed you may have one looming question: What should I wear under my ski pants?
Because what you wear UNDER your ski clothes is often just as important as the outwear (in keeping you warm and comfortable), you’ll want to make sure you’ve got som

Smith Intrigue Women’s Helmet—fully featured, high performance helmet for women who want all of the performance, minus the testosterone
As a female rider, I love gear that has the same high performance features as the stuff for the guys, but are designed for a woman. The Smith Intrigue is styled specifically for women, and it offers superior protection and comfort.
The Intrigue not only has a sleek, low-profile, stylish design, but it also ha

Smith Variant Brim Helmet—top end helmet with maximum protection for aggressive Big Mountain skiers.
I will first have to admit that this helmet was not designed for me. Sure, I’ll ski the steep stuff and sneak in the trees, but I’m not jumping off any cliffs or going down insane couloirs. I leave the crazy stuff for my brother, who has competed in a few Big Mountain freestyle competitions.
This helmet utilizes top-of-the-lin

I will admit that I really don’t like wearing a helmet when I ski. No matter how lightweight or comfortable a helmet is, a hat is still more comfortable. But, a hat won’t protect your noggin in a bad crash and a helmet will, so responsibility (and I desire to keep my brains and skull in tact) means that I wear a helmet anyways.
Because I don’t really like wearing a helmet al

Da Kine Heli-Pro Women’s Pack—a great, streamlines women specific pack for those hard riding and powder loving ladies
As a female rider, I am always all about ski and snowboard gear that is designed for women who like to hit the slopes just as hard as their male counterparts. While we are certainly able to use most of the male designed gear and products out there, gear designed specifically for women, b

K2 Moxie Snow Sports Helmet—a made for women’s helmet that’s lightweight and comfortable
As a female rider, I am often grappled with the decision of going with a male designed product or opting for an often inferiror, but women’s designed product. So, when I can find kick ass gear that also happens to be designed with us ladies who love the powder in mind, I get pretty excited. Also, while I certainly lik

K2 Edge Women’s Snow Sports Helmet—“Lightweight performance without breaking the bank”
According to the K2 Web site: “As with all K2 helmets, the Edge fits comfortably while meeting the highest test standards for ski and snowboard helmets. If that isn’t enough, the clean lines and at a minimal weight make purchasing this helmet a “no brainer”.”
I recently purchased this helmet for a screaming deal at ski gear sale, and I seemed to hav
