Blizzard Rustler 9
The nimblest of the Rustler series, the Rustler 9 doesn’t necessarily need a powder day to make yours. Whether you’re ripping through the trees or laying trenches back to the lift for another go, these babies are built for fun. At the heart of the redesigned Rustler 9 is a lightweight, energetic Freeride Trueblend woodcore and an all-new FluxForm technology. Trueblend and FluxForm are designed to work together to provide stability and strength underfoot, yet retain playfulness in the tip and tail. So feel free to Press Send, the Rustler 9 is specifically engineered to make you hoot and holler all over the hill.
Atomic Hawx Prime 120 S GW
Offering the same high performance as the Hawx Prime 130 with a slightly softer flex, the Atomic Hawx Prime 120 S GW is a precision all-mountain boot with Legendary Hawx Feel and a medium width. With a 100mm last and a comfort level that may surprise you, these boots offer more stability than ever thanks to Prolite – a revolutionary light shell construction with added reinforcements in key zones. The Mimic Platinum liner can be molded to the precise shape of your foot, and Power Shift allows for finetuning of forward lean and flex. Cantable GripWalk Grip Pads offer more traction for walking, while delivering the power transfer of a standard alpine sole. For the strong all-mountain skier seeking go-all-day comfort, this the boot to push your limits.
Smith Level Mips
Like a good day on the mountain, the Smith Level ski and snowboard helmet is at your service for ranging far and wide. It brings the added energy absorption of Zonal KOROYD® and the advanced angled impact protection of Mips® to let you focus on ripping high-speed arcs in the alpine and chasing untracked lines in the trees. The hybrid shell design adds durability without weighing you down for a helmet that you will actually take with you when the backcountry beckons. And because you love to ski all day, the fit and vents are adjustable on the fly, so you never need to slow down.
Smith I/O Mag S
You can only scope your line if you can see where you’re going. Putting on the Smith I/O MAG goggles is like flipping the switch from regular to widescreen. Our ChromaPop™ lens tech boosts color and contrast, so every wind lip, landing, and tree glade is as sharp as possible. It gets our highest level of anti-fog treatment and integrates with our helmets for airflow that keeps them fog-free through all weather conditions. Whether the day dawns clear or stormy, lens swaps are a snap thanks to our quick-swap MAG lens system. Because no two faces are the same, the I/O MAG S is scaled down to fit smaller faces.
Flylow Roswell
There’s no need to sacrifice functionality for looks. With the Roswell Jacket, you get it all: A long, freeride fit in a modern resort jacket, plus all the stormproof features you could want, like a helmet-compatible hood, powder skirt, wrist gaskets, and supreme waterproofing and breathability. Made with Stark 2-layer hardshell, this jacket is made to fight the chill, thanks to a layer of synthetic down insulation.
Flylow Baker Bibs
Many bibs are created purely for ski mountaineering. And yeah, our bibs can handle alpine ascents, but they also fit loose and are comfortable enough to rock the resort or the après-ski scene. They’ve got waterproof Surface 3-layer fabric, ample pocket storage for maps and essential gear, cuff reinforcements to deflect rips, and big inner and outer thigh vents for heart-pumping climbs. A DWR coating means your gear will stay drier longer.
