If you’d rather spend time tweeting about first chair in the lift line, this might not be your boot, but if you prefer to take your time for the perfect fit, these are for you. I found this to be a non-issue—after about 10 wears your lacing skills get pretty speedy.

These feel like a pair of Dickies that you can really put some miles on and keep with you for a few seasons.

When you are presented with the arduous task of looking for a solid all-mountain charger that can take you from blower pow at the top through icy traverses and exhausting chop, the Ride Machete GT raises it’s metaphorical hand and volunteers to help you battle the mountain. Ride talked a big game that they had put a lot of technology into this board and they have really come through.

After taking these bad boys out for about 10 days, you can really tell that they tried to minimize the construction of the binding. There are a few key features of this binding that stand out among similar products. The Slimeback highback is made from a more malleable plastic that really allows you really roll smoothly with those deep turns and give you that extra stretch while you tweak grab. In addition to that, when I find my legs getting tired and I’m weaving through trees and I want to stand up like Lego Man, it doesn’t have that rigid feel in your lower calf that forces you to stand up straight. These allow you to stay relaxed and reduce fatigue.

For the impatient or anxious rider, however you may address yourself, these snowboard bindings are for you. The Cinch system is extremely unique – your strapping-in process is accelerated by its bear-trap like design, where it consumes your foot and then you “clip in” by pulling your highback up and flip the lever attached to the cable.

As a loyal snow pant wearer for some 12 odd years, I was a little skeptical crossing over to what I interpreted as the ‘dark side’ of snow trousers. I associate bibs with uncomfortable straps over my shoulders, overheating due to too much layering, and most importantly, trouble relieving myself in the restroom after a few aprés beverages. However, after years of strapless shredding, the TREWth Bibs have made me reconsider. This pair of bibs has gone ahead and made me forget everything I thought about bibs.

It’s not often that you come across a product that’s design has solved every issue that you can think of before you can address it. The POC Spine VPD Hydration Pack is the Swiss army knife of small-size hydration packs. The Spine VPD has a bunch of conveniently organized pockets for stashing clothes, phones, ipods, snacks, etc. The VPD is an effective feature that provides spinal support and protection in the event of a seriously fall. I would confidently recommend this to any mountain biker, road biker, hiker, skier, or snowboarder.

In a struggling economy we find ourselves trying to look as stylish and as core as possible without breaking the bank, and a fresh pair of Cassette Sunglasses are the perfect affordable accessory to turn heads without going broke.

A great man by the name of Daniel Tosh said, “It’s impossible to frown on a jet ski.” Whether you are jibbing, jumping, hucking, hopping, stomping, sliding, popping or pressing, this same analogy applies to the jet ski as the intelligently designed Slayblade. You seriously would have to try to not have fun on this board.

When living and riding in Jackson Hole, you quickly find out that you need a quality, reliable shell to combat the harsh winter weather and copious amounts of powder. The Powderhorn Corbet Jacket offers that and much more.
