Ski and snow gear lists
Make skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and winter running more comfortable with this checklist of recommended snow gear for different conditions—for downskill skiers, snowboarders, backcountry skiers, cross country skiers, winter running, and snowshoers of all skill sets and destinations.
We waded through the dozens of beginner and intermediate ski models to find the best all-mountain skis, with picks for best all-around beginner skis, best powder skis, best women’s skis, and more.
We review the best 4-season tents for mountaineering, backcountry ski trips, gusty winds, cold weather, heavy precipitation, and challenging conditions. We looked for 4-season tents with headroom, easy set-up, solid pole structure, good ventilation and that can take heavy snow loads.
Protect your head on the slopes with the best ski and snowboard helmets, reviewed and tested by our Treeline experts. Get ready for your next snow adventure!
