GEAR GUIDE 2008 : SNOW SPORTS

CLOUDVEIL WISTER JACKET

The Wister was designed as a midlayer, but unless you’re snowshoeing in a blizzard, you don’t want to wear a traditional shell. This four-way stretch soft shell has a plush interior that wicks moisture away and a highly wind-resistant Polartec Hard-Face that works wonders on the exposed trails of our Southern balds. $200.

BULA GRAHAM EARPHONE BOMBER

Just because you’re in the middle of the woods on a snowy day doesn’t mean you can’t listen to Jimi Hendrix. The Bomber has a wool inner and built in earphones for your iPod. $34.99.

ATLAS 9 SERIES SNOWSHOES

Atlas is the leader in snowshoe technology, developing a unique suspension system that makes walking on the snow almost as easy as walking on solid ground. The beginner friendly 9 Series combines that patented suspension system with a lightweight aluminum frame and Nytex decking. $149.
