Bern Macon 2.0 Helmet. Unfortunately you cant take the earpads out on it but I still love the shape. That and I've got a few fleece hoods to wear under my helmet, they are so much better then any other kind of face covering. Mine are all from burton or salmon arms cuz I steel them from my brother who boards. I strongly recommend everyone get one

It's my wides. I genuinely love this ski so much; it's the most fun ski I've ever ridden.


Other than that, an OG Vish polo that has a lot of sentimental value to me.

best,

Never thought I’d like it so much, but a few seasons ago I got a Black Diamond Cirque pack. My favorite backcountry pack I’ve had by a mile. I love plenty of gear - skis, boots, kit, etc - but none have been truly a cut above than others I’ve owned

Black lightly insulated vest from a now defunct company. Wear it pretty much every day of the season. Lightweight so its perfect for spring skiing and hiking rails with all the pockets, and great for layering in colder temperatures too

Haskill base layer - it was out of stock on their website, but I messaged the inbox, and Delorme himself replied saying he had one left and shipped it over to Europe for me. He'll always be my favourite skier, so I'm stoked to have one.
