What Dan Packs
Winter changes everything. These make the difference between suffering and enjoying:
Smith Ski Goggles
EssentialUtah powder means flat light. Good goggles are the difference between seeing terrain and guessing.
Hand Warmers
For lift rides. Cheap insurance against frozen fingers.
Helmet with MIPS
EssentialTrees are unforgiving. MIPS technology reduces rotational impact.
