Eh-yup, I'm cooperating with ya; that's the mantra of The North Face Men's Fargo Cargo Pants during a bitter deep freeze less the psycho killing nature. This tough as nails all-around waterproof breathable shell pant is designed with fully seam sealed HyVent 2 layer fabric to shed wind, snow, and an abundance of moisture, while a Thermoliner in the seat and knees insulate when you're down and resting, but not out. Crafted with a Park fit (loose, but not too loose) that delivers extra room through hips, thighs, knees, and cuff, this rider centric snow pant is adorned with environment controlling inner zip thigh vents, a StretchVent gaiter with gripper, and Chimney Venting system. To block out snow a pant-a-lock system does a one piece hook up with your favorite TNF jacket, snap-cuff gussets seal at the cuffs, and adjustable waist tabs ensure a snug active fit. Reinforced with edge guards at the cuff, The North Face Men's Fargo Cargo Pants also features a Recco rescue reflector for an easier search in the event your feet up in a tree well or an avalanche runs you down from behind. Eh-yup, we're cooperating with ya!
These pants are great, they keep you dry and are light weight. I recently went on a trip to Whistler and these pants were just what I needed, it was wet at the bottom of the mountain and snowy at the top and I was dry all day long. I do like the pull string that keeps the bottom of the pants off the ground at your heels, great idea! They do run a little big, I'm 5'11" 175lbs with a 32 waist and I got a medium and the fit perfect. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
Pros Great design, Build quality, Performance, Great value
Carry just the essentials in the new Dakine Baker Pack, patterned after backcountry adventures and those who want to blur the Inbounds line. Specially designed to carry snow tools, shovel, and when hiking is necessary, your board. The Baker Pack is also equipped with an insulated hydration sleeve so when you get further out than you anticipated, you won't get thirsty.

I went on a trip to CO and used this pack, carried everything i needed, camera, extra pair of gloves, snacks and a sandwich. I also bought a 70oz hydration pack for it and it worked out great. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a light day pack and is not carrying a ton of stuff.
Pros Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, super light
Guaranteed to keep you dry, the Burton Men's Gore Under Mitts will protect your hands even in the foulest of conditions. Waterproof and breathable, these waterproof gloves have a removable insert, giving you options for any type of weather.
I have 3 pairs of these gloves, 1 mitt under glove, 1 mitt over and 1 glove over. I use the mitts for snowboarding and the glove for around the house in the winter, my hands never get wet and they are super durable. I would recommend these gloves anyone.
Pros Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Great value

There's going to be plenty of soggy, wet snow to slash this La Nina year so make sure you're shreddy with the 15k mm waterproofness of the Men's Bonfire Baker Jacket. This Bonfire classic has proven its worth for seasons and with features like fully taped seams, 10k mm breathability, and the powder skirt turn back, the Baker jacket has you covered in all mountain weather conditions. Multiple organization pockets keep you organized when you're on the lift and the built in elbow articulation allows you move freely when you're going large in the Bonfire Men's Baker Jacket.
I really liked this jacket but it seems to run big, was just to bulky for me.
Pros Great design, Build quality
Cons: size runs big

I would def recommend this jacket to people. Im 6 ft and have broad shoulders and this jacket has a great fit. All the pockets are great, and the stye is not too loud either.
Cold wet hands can end a fun day of the ski hill so dont the afternoon nursing frozen digits, slip on the Burton GORE-TEX Gloves for men and spend more time on the slopes hunting untracked powder fields and dropping bottomless pillow lines. Constructed with DRYRIDE Ultrashell these waterproof breathable gloves use a GORE-TEX membrane that lets sweat evaporate while blocking out wind and water for serious all mountain performance. Thermacore insulation adds additional warmth without being overly bulky, and with a Pistol Grip Pre-Curved Fit and Sticky Icky Grip Palm these snowboard gloves allow the dexterity to tweak grabs with confidence and adjust your bindings without exposing your hands to the snow. A removable 4 way stretch liner wicks moisture and gives these gloves the versatility to take on everything from whiteout storms to sunny spring days.
