For me I want a boot that I can walk in comfortably and be able to drive in. I think creating a boot using the material used in Renoun could achieve a boot like that. At slower speeds its soft and flexible but with the increase of vibrations it will stiffen up and perform like a standard boot.

To me a boot that's built to be able to drive in just sounds like itd be a shitty boot performance wise

A foldable pole like those ones Black Diamond makes, but less fragile

This isn't important for many people but I don't always ski with poles, and I like being able to toss them in my pack with ease.

Would love to see some more durable poles and brakes. I would also love to see some pocket Sammie/burrito technology. It would be sweet to have a container for chairlift snacks, that stops your sandwiches from being smashed, but also soft enough that if you land it on it, it wouldn’t hurt. And that’s easy to open with gloves on.

Super futuristic but the idea of being able to change your topsheet just as easy as changing the wallpaper on your phone lock screen.

not really a skiing thing but nothing annoys me more than my phone dying in the cold after filming for a run or two

More long skis in general. It’s hard to find a 190 park ski that I want to ride I feel like most skis could use atleast another size. I am 6’5 and 200pounds though so I’m definitely bigger than most but a man can dream.

-All zippers should pull up to open and pull down to close.
-Someone needs to address the shredding of pant cuffs.
-Thicker edges.

I ski 100 plus days a year normally (not this year) and I’ve had my goggles fog once ever because I left them in my boot bag overnight with my wet gloves and face mask which is fully on me. What are these people doing with their goggles

No it’s cause people with moisture and heat on their face cause condensation on the inside of their lens when exposed to cold weather.
