6 / FREERIDE PERFECTION For the first time in its history, Stio has partnered with Gore-Tex. And the results are their most innovative, protective collections to date, whether you’re riding the lifts or touring in the backcountry. For women, it’s the Credential Collection; the men’s version is the Objective Collection. Both include pants and a jacket that feature Gore-Tex 3L, a waterproof/breathable material that has stretch and a soft, brushed, flannel-like interior. There are also large thigh vents positioned at the back of the leg and oversized, zip hand pockets. $529 (pants), $599 (jacket), available at Stio Mountain Studio (10 E. Broadway Ave., Jackson)
PIQUED
7 / PARKING LOT PICNIC Because no one knows what on-mountain dining at ski resorts will look like this winter, we invested in Yeti’s Rambler One Gallon Jug and Lowlands Blanket so we’re prepared for a parking lot picnic if required. Spread the Lowlands Blanket out behind your car—it has a waterproof utility layer and an insulated interior to keep the cold and wet at bay—sit down, and enjoy hot soup or chili from the dishwasher-safe Rambler Jug. Jug: $129.99; blanket: $199.99, available at Teton Ace Hardware (120 S. Main St., Driggs, Idaho)
8 / ULTIMATE FIRE PIT
6
We thought a smokeless portable fire pit that produced minimal ash sounded too good to be true. We’ve never been so happy to learn we were wrong. You won’t take Solo’s Bonfire fire pit backpacking—it weighs twenty pounds—but it’s portable enough for pretty much every other time you might want to enjoy a fire; we’ve brought it to drive-in movies, car camping, and après-ski tailgates. The pit’s design doesn’t just limit smoke but also minimizes the heat transferred from its base to the surface beneath. It’s a fire pit miracle. $349.99, available at solostove.com

9 / LET THERE BE LIGHT If you wanted a headlamp and a flashlight, it used to be you needed two different things. Then 5.11 Tactical introduced the powerful Response XR1 Headlamp, which pushes 1,000 lumens of light and can be used as a headlamp or a right-angle flashlight. We keep it in our car for emergencies, unless we go for an evening hike or fat bike ride—then we put it into headlamp mode and are on our way. $79.99, available at 511tactical.com
10 / JUST A BITE When you’re not really hungry but need an energy boost, dive into a bag of Honey Stinger’s Mini Waffles, which sandwich honey between two bite-sized waffles. When skiing, we’ll share a bag with friends. At home, we’ll enjoy a waffle or two and then put the resealable bag back into the pantry. $7 for a 5.3-ounce bag, available at Jackson Hole Sports (7720 Granite Loop Rd., Teton Village)
11 / A TREAT FOR YOUR FEET

JACKSON HOLE MAGAZINE WINTER 2021
We take our Glerup felted boots off when it’s time to ski and sleep; otherwise, they are the only shoes we’re wearing this winter. Made of 100 percent natural wool—a combination of Gotland wool from Denmark and white wool from New Zealand—these boots come in a variety of colors with rubber or soft leather soles, and are the most comfortable things to ever grace our feet. Also, they don’t smell, even when we wear them without socks (thanks to wool’s natural self-cleaning properties.) Shoes and slip-ons are also available. From $95, available at Mudroom (3275 Village Dr., Teton Village)
