Backcountry Magazine The 2023 Gear Guide | #146 Retour à l'édition précédente

After a season away, we were back at Utah’s Powder Mountain for the Gear Test Week we know and love. We flexed our rusty social skills and put hundreds of pieces of gear through the wringer, but we kept in mind the lessons learned from our year of remote testing. In Utah, we identified our favorites then took them to far-flung places like Alaska, the Tetons, Tahoe and Vermont to see how they performed in the untracked. From all that testing, we’ve brought you 122 reviews of skis, boots, splitboards and bindings with 35 Editors’ Choice awards—in-depth, unbiased analysis of the best gear for any type of skier or rider. Plus, top-tier apparel and accessories to round out your kit. Find all this and more in the 2023 Gear Guide.
