      Gear of the Year Awards Winter 2022/2023

      Looking for the best gear of the Winter 2022/2023 to add to your backcountry skiing arsenal? Look no further than our annual Gear of the Year Awards that we bestow on the best gear we’ve reviewed over the past year for the 2022/2023 winter seasons. This time around ski and boots have dominated with Dynafit picking up two wins and Elan and Scarpa also picking up wins for their new skis and boots respectively. Rounding out the list is Mountain Equipment Company’s new ski touring pack that is part of their new and ever-expanding ski touring line. Click below for full reviews of each award-winning product and see which one(s) you need to add to your ski touring kit. 

      You can find all of our Gear of the Year Award winners here, with detailed reviews of each past winner.
