Parents swear by the value of expandable winter clothes that last through several seasons, especially since little ones don’t venture outside as much as their older siblings. Molehill’s Expandable Earflap Hat has adjustable sizing and a multi-position chinstrap that allows you to increase the volume of the hat over several seasons for consistent warmth and added value. It’s made from Polartec fleece and features a soft, double layer of fabric around the ears for increased warmth. The color selection is varied enough to match a wide variety of kids clothing–even hand-me-downs from seasons past!

While plenty of women enjoyed the all-mountain versatility of the award-winning Nordica Olympia Conquer ski last season, more than a few advanced riders wanted to tweak the ride for hardpack and groomers–especially in the spring when the powder runs are less frequent. Nordica’s Olympia Victory Ski offers the same all-mountain versatility found on the successful Conquer, but it has a narrower waist and profile that’s fine-tuned for packed snow and spring corn. The Nordica Olympia Victory ski features a XBS (X Balance System) binding interface that transmits consistent pressure from your boots to the ski edges for improved stability, balance and control. Extra heel pressure from the back of the ski is transferred through the integrated Marker binding and XBS interface to the area in front of the binding, redistributing your skiing power unlike anything else available on the market. The Olympia Victory also has a lively wood core with Nordica’s 2V Active CA construction, a closed power train chassis specifically designed for fast and aggressive skiing. It’s a performance balance that floats well in soft snow while still giving you the flex essential for groomed runs and hardpack snow–especially if you like to go fast all season long. If you’re an aggressive intermediate skier who wants a little more control potential, check out the forgiving composite core on the Olympia Drive XBS.

While significantly stiffer than traditional freestyle boots, Salomon’s Synapse is the boot for guys who like to ride it all in a single run. In the last few seasons Salomon built upon the Synapse’s reputation for versatility by adding exceptional comfort features, including a Biocage liner with heat moldable Bio custom fit. The Bio Custom Fit design is virtually the same as the Bio Custom Fit Pro that you find in the top-end Malamute boot, except you don’t have the custom ankle inserts. The Synapse features a supportive and anatomically contoured Ortholite footbed made from light density foam with a micro-rubber compound. The Powerlace pro soft lacing system is a customizable, dual zone lace system that has user-friendly blocking system that simplifies lace adjustments faster than the normal Powerlace Pro. There’s also a one-pull quicklace feature that simplifies the closure. Beneath everything is an ultra-sensitive Sensiflex outsole with rubber metatarsus pods that work as sensors between your board and the bottoms of your feet. Like the Fusion boots, the Synapse also features Salomon’s exclusive ADIPRENE compound to help absorb impacts from big air landings. If you’re looking for a little more flex and a lot more park-orientation, check out Salomon’s Dialogue snowboard boots.
