The snow products we feature in our blogs have been independently selected and reviewed by our Auski team of snow specialists.
We all know that getting out in the snow is one of the nicest things to do in the winter, and snow is only a few hours away if you live in Melbourne or New South Wales so there is no better time than now to browse the best snow gear for a trip to the slopes! We enjoy playing in the snow just as much as you do, which is why we've put together this blog post with a list of 10 best snow products, tried and tested by our ski and snowboard specialists, to ensure that everyone is properly protected from the elements and has the best time on the pow.
In both directions, this snowboard is a powerful predator. Travis combined his Orca knowledge with his top high performance snowboard world freestyle tour ambitions to create the ultimate Orca freestyle progression. The Orca's long, floating nose is suited to pow. A directed C2 contour smashes across the resort, trenching hardpack carves and blasting through mountainous side impacts. On hardpack, this fresh new long floaty switch friendly power kink tail rides short, powerful, and poppy, yet floats like a dream during switch freestyle takeoffs and landings. The beloved Orca joins forces with the mystical T. Rice Pro to become a golden power beast.
When Norwegian party boarder Stale Sandbech (big air and slopestyle Olympian you should probably know) is just out riding with his homies, the 2023 Rome Stale Crewzer is his all-terrain daily vehicle. When Stale isn't executing triple corks or standing on top of podiums, this is the board he'll ride on a daily basis, providing a more joyful, playful, and versatile experience for the rider who doesn't want to be pushed all the time but still wants to go hard when the mood strikes. The majority of the running length of this all-mountain board features positive camber, with a minor bit of rocker immediately before the contact points.
This design produces a versatile all-mountain freestyle feel with the strength and reactivity of the majority positive camber zone, but with a smoother overall feel and more powder rise thanks to the little dosage of early rise. You can also expect Carbon Hotrods for lively riding performance, Flax Impact Plates for next-level durability and impact absorption, and Sinterstrong Base; a Versatile, low-maintenance, ride-it-all sintered base.
The 2022 Union Spring Break Snowboard Bindings is a year-after-year collaboration that keeps on giving. Union has collaborated with Spring Break artist and designer Corey Smith to produce the newest generation of the iconic Atlas binding, which features a lighter design and increased comfort. The updated ankle and toe straps, which include a better, lighter, and more robust ratchet, will allow you to ride in even greater comfort by removing pressure points and unnecessary bulk where you need it most. These upgrades, combined with the Atlas binding's well-known performance, will be a welcome addition to whatever board you ride, especially one of Capita's snowboards. These All Mountain bindings with a stiff flex are a popular choice amongst the Auski crew.
Just when you thought you couldn't desire the Prowler any more than you already do. The Prowler this year is in a league of its own. With an updated high-cut neck and big pockets in a sleek pullover shape, the 2022 L1 Womens Prowler Jacket pays homage to a military-inspired look. The Prowler jacket is the best choice for protecting yourself from the elements this winter, with a full range of technical characteristics such as 20k waterproofing and breathability, as well as 2-layer, critically sealed seams. This is a must-have item for the season.
The Eivy womens base layer, which mixes street fashion with maximum utility, will keep you extra toasty out on the slopes. You'll be prepared for both icy cold days and long journeys with the integrated fleece lined neckwarmer. The Eivy base layers' versatility will appeal to everyone who leads an active lifestyle. These are just as good for snowboarding as they are for yoga or workouts, and their multifunctionality earns them points for sustainability. GRS® Global Recycled Standard fabric is used in all of Eivy's base layers. The fabric is also incredibly elastic, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying, allowing anyone to feel at ease wearing these all day, even if they are working up a sweat.
The 2022 Mammut Albula Hybrid Jacket for men is a flexible, partially insulated jacket that may be used for hiking, climbing, or ski touring. It keeps you warm in the proper places while being breathable throughout heavy exercises. Elastic inserts made of recycled polyester allow you to move freely, making them suitable for layering as insulation. For the Albula Hybrid Jacket, Mammut focused on all-around eco-friendly production; the exterior material was dyed with the resource-conserving dope dye method. Ecodown® recycled synthetic fibre filling has a fantastic heat-to-weight ratio. PFCs aren't employed in the water-repellent treatment. When laundered, synthetic down does not clump, making the jacket very easy to care for. The Albula range is eco-friendly and utilitarian, with a sporty aesthetic and a definite choice for outdoor enthusiasts.
The ideal compromise between performance and comfort. Lange's ground-breaking Dual Core shell technology is combined with new women-specific fit and features in the new RX 110 womens ski boots. The Lange RX 110 LV boots are designed for hard-charging, aggressive female skiers who seek a progressive flex and a performance-enhancing fit. The 97 mm last is designed for a narrower foot and will keep your feet securely in position no matter how hard you charge. The 110 flex rating is on the stiffer end of the scale, making it ideal for higher-level talents and ensuring that it responds to the forceful flex you provide when ripping about on your favourite terrain. For better, longer ski days, the new Shin Control customisable 3D liner conforms to the lower leg for enhanced support while reducing frequent pressure areas and shin pain.
Nordica's SpeedMachine line is only limited by your imagination in terms of terrain and situations it can handle. This renowned boot has been fully revamped for even greater control and comfort, the result of decades of development. For unequalled performance, Nordica's 3 Force technology increases energy transmission from the leg and foot to the liner and shell. It also improves productivity. The boot's lining and shell may also be easily modified for a genuinely tailored fit. Nordica's Speedmachine 3 130 Ski Boots allow you to ski like you've never skied before.
The Mammut Barryvox Package Light is a weight-optimized set of avalanche equipment for freeriding, off-piste runs, and ski touring when every gramme matters.

Simple navigation and straightforward instructions are strong points for the Barryvox®. Even when wearing gloves, the aluminium avalanche Probe 240 short is safe and easy to use. With the Alugator Light avalanche shovel, which has a blade made of hardened, anodized aluminium, packing volume and weight are reduced to a bare minimum. Feel secure when you're out in the snow.
