Skiing is no joke, considering the onslaught of potential disasters lurking behind every tree, slope, hill, etc. Sure, we could stick to the gentle bunny slopes or just, you know, enjoy the view from indoors. But where’s the fun in that? We like adventure! We like danger! (Except for when danger becomes synonymous with crisis or major bodily injury—we like danger at a distance.)

So when we’re out on the slopes, having the adrenaline rush of our lives, the last thing we want to worry about is catching frostbite or not getting to document a worthy moment. This is the time to enjoy the present moment, people!

From plush gloves to actually durable performance pants, here are seven pieces to help you combat these skiing issues.
