Skiing is not an affordable sport, especially in the US. From a ski pass to ski gear and accessories, skiing requires a lot. Nonetheless, ski towns are fun even if you don’t ski. Here are our top picks of ski essentials for the seasoned skier to the non-skier who just likes to take in the ambience of a ski town. We’ve got you covered with the must haves this season.

For Both- Sprayground Sky High Seekers Arctic Ski Goggles- $180

Sprayground is known for their one-of-a-kind backpacks and bags. But, let us tell you, they have some one-of-a-kind ski gear. Their Sky High Seekers Arctic Ski Goggles are great for the slopes. When it’s snowing you need a good pair of goggles so you can see, and these are it. With wind, snow, solar radiation, and moisture protection, the three interchangeable lenses in gold, nuclear, and chrome gives you options for what works best for your eyes, and the cylindrical lens reduces eyesight distortion. What’s also nice is that the strap adjustable goggles are 400 UV Protection, anti-scratch, and anti-fog. They also come in a soft case when stored.

For Her- Pat McGrath Labs Lip Fetish Sheer Color Balm- $23

For Her- Mackage GIA Agile-360 fitted ski pants with suspenders- $650

Canadian luxury outerwear brand Mackage is known for their top-quality products for their ski wear. What’s also a godsave is that their built for the cold, able to withstand temps up to -4°F (20°C), and as a nod for body inclusivity, the pants are guaranteed to fit close to the body (but due to winter’s layering, it’s best to order a size or few sizes up). Coming in red, milkshake, ceramic, and black the pants are created from bonded fleece backed techno jersey, giving stretch for easy movement due to the Agile-360 two-way stretch. Windproof and waterproof for the slopes, the pants fit easier due to the ski suspenders.

This new formula with Beta-Glucan-CM repairs the skin’s moisture barrier and accelerates surface cell renewal for those long days on the slopes. Its claim is that after 1 week, signs of skin damage are reversed. “Day after day, the skin is exposed to stressors such as UV, pollution, stress, and other lifestyle factors, which can cause skin barrier disruption and visible skin damage.

The zipper-less trunk style ensures that airport staff- or anyone can’t break into your suitcase, and the tight seal closing keeps your items dry and protected.
