Not only can this handy device warm up some boots before heading out in the snow, but it can also be used to dry them out after a long day on the slopes, which will even help curb the growth of bacteria in your snowboard and/or ski boots, meaning they'll be less stinky, too.

Designed for skiers and snowboarders alike (and with built-in storage for both), this weatherproof pack is spacious, convenient, and even boasts a construction of partially recycled materials.

It's hard to tell but these goggles feature an aggressively angled lens. The innovative design cuts glare, increases vertical peripheral vision and helps you focus on what's important: the way down.

Waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex keeps precipitation out while letting sweat escape. Hip vents allow additional heat dumping, and stretch fabric permits even the most acrobatic ski stunts.
