Helly Hansen Verglas Hooded Down Insulator
Warm, lightweight, durable. For reviewer Julia Van Raalte, those three words pretty much sum up the Verglas Hooded Down Insulator.

Helly Hansen Verglas Jacket
The Verglas is a tough hardshell, well suited for colder weather resort and backcountry skiing.
2014-2015 Nordica Wildfire
If heavy charger skis aren't playful enough for you, and "playful" skis aren't substantial enough, then you should check out the new Nordica Wildfire.
2015-2016 Rossignol Savory 7
The Rossignol Savory 7 is a fun, lightweight, accessible ski that can still be driven fast and predictably in consistent snow.
Black Diamond Shiva
Ultimately, all AT boots are built with one of two priorities: the Up or the Down. For those more focused on the down, the Black Diamond Shiva boot is a very good choice.
2015-2016 Salomon Q-96 Lumen
We recently reviewed the new 178cm Salomon Stella (104mm underfoot), now for the similar but narrower Lumen (96mm underfoot). So what do you give up and what do you gain by going skinnier?
2013-2014 Salomon Stella
The Salomon Stella is an all-mountain women’s ski that was designed to do everything well. So far, it largely succeeds.
SCOTT Explorair Tech Women’s Pant
The Scott Explorair Tech Women's Pant utilizes Gore-Tex Pro Shell for outstanding breathability and water & wind protection. Take a look, especially if you're earning some of your turns.
Smith Allure Helmet
The lightweight and comfortable Smith Allure helmet is a good choice for women looking for a helmet with a minimal feel.
SmartWool Midweight Pattern Top and Bottom
The SmartWool Midweight Pattern top and bottoms offer great cold-weather protection, durability, and a stylish look.
Volkl Nanga Pants
The Volkl Nanga is an extremely comfortable pant with a clean, sleek design that will keep you warm on even the coldest days.
2nd Look: 2013-2014 Volkl Shiro
The Volkl Shiro is a fully rockered, fat powder ski that still handles incredibly well on groomers.
TREW Cosmic Jacket
Unsurprisingly, the Cosmic jacket measures up to the burliness, versatility, and stylishness we've come to expect from Trew. So reviewer Julia Van Raalte talks instead about the functionality of specific features and how well the Cosmic works for women.
2011-2012 Dynafit Gaia
With a good balance of weight and stability, the 2011-2012 Dynafit Gaia AT boot makes touring a breeze without sacrificing downhill performance.
2016-2017 Nordica La Niña
At 185cm, the women's-specific Nordica La Niña is extremely versatile considering its size, and enough fun to make Julia Van Raalte finally use the F-word: "Favorite."
Smith I/OS Goggle
Built for smaller faces, the Smith I/OS goggle still offers impressive peripheral vision, plus an easy-to-change lens system similar to the larger Smith I/O.
2012-2013 Blizzard Dakota, 177cm
The women's version of the Cochise, the 2012-2013 Blizzard Dakota is one of the burliest big-mountain women’s skis yet.
2012-2013 Line Pandora
More than just a really good pow ski, the Line Pandora might actually be one of the most sturdy and fun all-mountain women’s skis available.
2012-2013 Black Diamond Element
The Black Diamond Element is proving in Niseko to be a fantastic pow ski that actually does very well in chopped up snow and crud - assuming you get the mount position right....
2012-2013 MOMENT Bella, 172cm
A new addition to MOMENT's line of women's skis, the Bella is one of the best all-mountain skis on the market.
