Welcome back to The Roofbox, home of the highlights of Newschoolers' gear review program.
The days everyone prays are going to come and never last long enough when they do.
These are our picks for shredding pow.
hit the read more links to read full reviews of each of our picks.
Skis
Pow skis are a special thing.
They sit in your garage while you wait, hope and pray for a day to take them out.
Of course some of us are lucky enough to live in places where you need them more than others.
To reflect that, our picks are also suitable for different locations and styles.
Atomic Bent Chetler
A great ski for snowy conditions everywhere.
This slices through snow well and is more supportive on landings both forward and switch.
My euro pick of the bunch.
Soft enough to butter but still stiff enough to ski well.
I really was extremely impressed by the Mordecai.
As a wider freeride twin they are one of the best I have tried.

4frnt Hoji
Pick of the bunch for use on the east coast.
Great in tight eastern glades and isn’t overly wide.
Extremely maneuverable on the groomers and especially in the trees.
They float very well, I could’t get the tips to dive.
A lot of people will have bindings which will work with these boots.
Outerwear
Planks Yeti-Hunter Series
Pow-terwear is pretty important.
The last thing you want to spoil the best day of the season is getting wet.
So this it’s in this market sector that the prices tend to get out of hand.
It’s not my normal style of gear but Planks have won me over with this stuff.
These would be our money-no-object bib option and in case you didn’t know, bibs are in.
Overall bibs are great, and Trew makes one of the best.
Watch the beer farts though, they will waft up right into your jacket.
Get on the hype train and get yourself some bibs!-Lemuel
