Many thanks to Jessica Herbst for sharing these two informative infographics and for helping prepare this post. 

Smart skiers and snowboarders know that it is important to have the right gear.

While it’s a given that you’ll need skis, poles and boots or a snowboard and boots, you’ll also need proper clothing to stay warm and dry when the weather is cold and variable. We believe that a helmet is an important part of ski and snowboard gear. Choose a helmet that fits securely and comfortably, and one that works with your goggles. If you can, opt for polarized eyewear to stop glare.
