Gear of the Year 2023/2024

As the year draws to a close there is no better time to announce our Gear of the Year Award Winners for the 2023/2024 Ski season.

Below you will find a list of gear that we consider the best of all the gear we have reviewed over the year. These are items that every backcountry skier should consider for their touring kit. It was a difficult process to narrow it down to just these seven products but they are all worthy of our coveted Gear of the Year Award.
