Northern Rockies Regional Overview
When people talk about cold smoke, they are probably referring to Montana, Wyoming, or Idaho, home to some of the gnarliest terrain and greatest snow conditions in the world. With their great mix of cowboy influence and dedicated ski-bum culture, it’s easy to see why these states epitomize the heart and soul of American snow sports. Experience new heights and awe-inspiring lines with evo’s picks for the Northern Rockies winter.
The Northern Rockies have it all - from heavy carves to speeding through the trees to big mountain alpine lines, we chose a board that'll handle it all in the Arbor Bryan Iguchi Pro Rocker. This rockered directional twin was designed for playful yet powerful riding just about anywhere you point it. And just because you're in cowboy country doesn’t mean you can't rock a little city style on the mountain. With the Dakine Smyth Pure 2L GORE-TEX Jacket and Pants, combine streetwear style with pure technical mountain performance.
When you and your crew hit the hill, you’re not coming back in until dinner time. Snag a goggle that’s made for the constantly-changing light of the Rockies with the Smith Squad XL Goggles. Made with ChromaPop™ lenses for outstanding definition and clarity, with two lenses included for white out mornings to blue bird afternoon capability.
From Bridger Bowl to Jackson Hole, take on legendary terrain and gnarly winter storms with the Dakine Beretta 3L GORE-TEX kit. This jacket and bib combo pairs aweseome waterproofing and breathability with a comfortable flannel backer and streamlined, low-key style that'll do you right from the steep and deep to the skin track. Combine the look with the wider, tapered design of the Coalition Snow La Nieve Skis and enjoy everything these mountains have to offer, from epic cold smoke to chalky wind buff and everything in between.
When the storm sets in and your top to bottom runs transition from alpine whiteout to trees, you need to be able to see what’s coming next. Be ready at every turn with the Giro Eave Goggles. Made with an Expansion View (EXV) frame, these goggles offer up great peripheral vision and a quality VIVID lens by Zeiss for enhanced contrast in challenging light. Pair them with the Terra MIPS Helmet for perfect integration, a great fit and most importantly, excellent impact protection.
