Sometimes it feels just about impossible to keep up with the onslaught of innovations in gear. That’s why Backcountry stays on top of new tech so you don’t have to. Here are 4 products with game-changing technologies worth your attention this winter, from hybrid bindings to carbon neutral gear.

For serious splitboarders, mobile cuff technology is the only way to go. We’ve chosen Salomon’s Trek S/Lab Snowboard Boot for its comfort and performance, thanks to on-the-fly adjustable flex at the cuff. We’re all for more freedom on the uphill, more support on the down!

This ski employs K2’s Titanal Y-Beam technology, a y-shaped layer made of titanal, which is an aluminum alloy that’s mixed with zinc, magnesium, and copper. We’re impressed with how the beam in the MindBender increases precision, power, and stability without sacrificing playful maneuverability.

We’ve long dreamed of a binding that could rip the resort and handle steep climbs in the backcountry without compromise, which is why Salomon’s S/Lab Shift is a winner in our book. It switches from a pin binding for full range-of-motion on the climb to the locked in feel of an alpine binding so you don’t need to hold back on the descent.

We’ve ridden plenty of boards made with recycled materials and without harmful chemicals. But Capita next-levels eco-friendly by building boards like the Birds of a Feather in “The Mothership”—the world’s first 100% clean energy powered snowboard factory. Obviously, we’re into tech that also helps to protect our winters.
