Cute Snowboarding Gear: It Does Exist!



A week in Park City (and just one day on the slopes) opened our eyes to yet another problem with winter—fashionable snowboarding (and skiing!) gear.  Burton’s pop-up tents were filled with brightly colored jackets in florals and polka dots that we’d happily wear around New York City.  But the rest of the mountain?  A sea of faded blue and red.  For those of you who’d rather spend your winter vacation fund on lift tickets than flights south, we’ve rounded up some of the best (OK, cutest) gear.

Salomon’s color-blocked pants come with detachable suspenders for added stylish security {Salomon}
These candy-striped socks contain recycled materials, making them a cute eco-friendly alternative {Mountain Equipment Co-op}
This Middle Eastern-inspired scarf looks light and airy but it’s sure to keep you warm {Altrec}
The groovy floral print on these Bogner pants recall the irreverence of the swinging 60′s {Bogner}
Moncler’s Polka-dotted scarf is a vivid and versatile pick—its square shape can double as headscarf {Moncler}
A bright and twisted knit hat by Spyder is both practical and fashion-forward {Spyder}
These cheery socks by Dakine feature a Missoni-esque zig zag pattern {Dakine}
Spy’s mix-media goggles feature an on-trend Navajo-print strap {BackCountry.com}
Oscar de la Renta’s collaboration with Beats by Dre resulted in this earmuff-headphone hybrid that will keep you both warm and entertained on the slopes {Oscar de la Renta}
These tinsel-tinted pants by Obermeyer are sure to turn heads {Obermeyer}
Columbia’s quilted gloves are both simple and chic {REI}
These swiss-dotted goggles by Roxy are a graphic and feminine take on the oft utilitarian standby {Roxy}
Throw this over a Proenza Schouler dress from two springs ago and we’d think it was a proper look. {Burton}
