Slope Style
(Lisa Shin)

1. Bern Muse Helmet
This downsized lid has zero bobblehead factor yet still has room for a removable liner (with speakers). $99; bernunlimited.com

2. Marmot Furlong
Like it or not, you will get noticed in the lift line when you're wearing this weather-resistant soft shell, with faux-fur trim around the hood, wrists, and waist. Fit is flatteringly slim. $140; marmot.com

3. Eider Syriam Mittens
Yes, you can have warm hands without wearing gloves the size of catcher's mitts, thanks to the snug cuffs and synthetic insulation of these buttery mittens. $89; eider-world.com

4. Snow Angel Cybersilk Long Underwear
No more lumpy long johns: This featherweight ensemble wicks and fits, and the top's cute pattern makes it après appropriate. $42 and up; snow-angel.com

5. Salomon Thruster
Can pants say, "The girl who wears these rips"? Apparently so. The low rise, horizontal front pockets, and slightly flared leg (for better over-boot fit) take their cue from your favorite pair of Sevens. $200; salomon-sports.com

6. SmartWool Skiing Light Socks
These merino knee-highs have a touch of spandex so they won't bunch up in your boots. $19; smartwool.com

7. Shred Alert Helen
The microfleece liner will keep you warm, but the style's pure street. $24; shredalert.com

8. Zeal Aspect
Petite proportions + fog-free lenses = perfect women's goggles. $80; zealoptics.com
