Conquer frigid slopes without sacrificing dexterity this season with these grippy, insulated cowhide gloves from Hestra. On my coldest ski days last year, my beloved Hestra gloves were always the first things I grabbed to put in my boot bag. They also saved my precious fingers when it dipped to -3 degrees and I had to walk my (very energetic) lab mix. The brand’s Fall Line model has a removable liner so that you can adjust the warmth as you please. And unlike other styles, it also comes with wrist leashes.

My all-time favorite eyewear for skiing, Zeal’s polarized Beacon Goggles, are now on sale. Not only are they compatible with glasses—something my poor vision appreciates—but they’re also designed so that the bottom of the goggles’ frame sits closer to your face, giving a greater vertical periphery for those steep and deep double black diamonds.

We dubbed Gnu’s Barrett C3 the best women’s snowboard of 2025, and you can score last season’s version on sale right now. It’s still designed with the same aggressive C3 camber for high-speed lines and the occasional freestyle romp. It also boasts a medium-firm flex, ideal for pushing your speedy boundaries in intense terrain.
The eye-catching Nitro Alternator was our all-around favorite snowboard last year, designed for riders to hop seamlessly from freestyle terrain to cliff drops and everything in between. As such, it’s a versatile snowboard, with a stiff (but not too stiff) flex rating and standard camber-style rocker. Best of all, if you get the board with bindings, it’s nearly $100 off.
We’ve reviewed Nordica’s ever-popular Enforcer 100 Skis many times and found it’s a top all-mountain ski. In our past tests, it excelled in messy, variable conditions and remained stable at high speeds on ultra-steep slopes. Our ski experts noted that it’s an excellent pick for intermediate slope stars hoping to up their game or expert skiers who love to explore off-piste.

Are you a beginner skier dreaming of moving up from the scuffed edges of rental gear this season? The Phoenix 7.7 from Blizzard can help you do that. A 6mm rocker design makes turns and transitions on hard groomers more manageable, and this model’s binding mount points are placed slightly forward for a female-specific center of gravity. The package includes TLT10 Bindings, which can be set with a DIN of 3-10, so you can easily adjust their clawing grip as you graduate to harder turns and gnarlier steeps.
Fear no powder as you send your favorite double blacks this season with Arc’teryx’s high-rise Sentinel Bib Pants. Made from a waterproof nylon face fabric with Gore-Tex Pro, these pants are designed to keep the wearer dry season after season. Cuffed ankle guards also help keep icy muck out from down below and integrated RECCO reflectors add peace of mind to those committing to back- and side-country expeditions.
