I've lusted after these skis year after year, because not only are they great all-mountain skis, they're darn pretty too. All the cool kids have LINE skis.

CHIP SUPERSHAPE - Ski

First to recommend

Description

I've never skiied with Head, but holy moly, this invention is unbelievable. The new SuperShape line contains a microchip in each ski that senses when the skis begin to chatter as a result of carving too hard. The ski then literally stiffens up to smooth out the carve, resulting in better control and improved ability to go FAST.
I think I'm in love.

SCOTT | Goggles | Snow Blind

First to recommend

Description

I've been wearing SCOTT goggles for as long as I've been skiing, and they have always held up through the elements...blizzards, crashes, faceplants, faceplants resulting in full helmet loss, skiing into trees, off water towers, you know, the usual.
Bottom line: you can easily destroy your pride on the mountain, but these babies will hold up.

Smith Variant Skullcandy Audio Helmet

First to recommend

Description

Because a helmet is an absolute necessity on the slopes, why not make it multi-functional? This one has a Skullcandy headphone insert built into the ear flaps, so no more awkward iPod earbuds getting rather uncomfortable under there. Wish I'd known about this earlier.

Marmot Randonnee Glove

First to recommend

Description

Gloves should always have Gore-Tex in them, unless you want to end up with freezing, soggy hands by the second chair. These ones by Marmot are my favorite because the cuff fits easily over any ski jacket and secures tightly with the drawstring. Snow in your sleeves really sucks.
