Ogio Immix $69
[801.619.4100; ogio.com]

Just because you have $3,000 worth of computer and electronics on your back, doesn’t mean you need to look it. The Immix from Ogio houses a 17-inch laptop, cords, mouse, iPod, sunglasses, and an entire volume of Powder in a sleek profile with subtle tattoo-inspired art.

Oakley Small Roller $135
[800.431.1439; oakley.com]

Sending your customized ski boots into checked luggage is like sending your hot girlfriend to Chamonix alone. Keeping them with you is the only sure way to bring the odds back in your favor. Oakley’s Small Roller is big enough to fit boots and outerwear while still fitting overhead on the plane.

Salomon Revenge Jacket $150
[800.225.6850; salomonsports.com]

With an all business outer, flipped around the Revenge Jacket transforms into an all velour party piece worthy of the swankiest Aspen cocktail bar. Light insulation allows for use with après ski patio beers, as well. We all know the “ski town ratio” and the Revenge gives you the upper hand versus Johnny Backcounty in his odor-iffic hard shell.

ARMADA STRIPED HOODIE $70
[949.642.6714, armadaskis.com]

Long days on the road necessitate a good hoodie. The Striped Hoodie from Armada is the definition of comfort. Not only stylish, the Striped provides hours of entertainment. Nothing like playing drunken “Where’s Waldo” in a crowded train station.

APPLE IPOD TOUCH $300-400
[800.692.7753, apple.com]

We know everyone and their goat has an iPod, but Apple’s new iPod Touch is too perfect to ignore. Sure, touch screen interface, 3.5-inch widescreen videos and durable flash memory are impressive. But built-in WiFi with full web brower will keep you connected to email, weather, and Powder.com wherever you manage to poach a signal.
