Simplicity Hits a Higher Plane
If sliding across the white face of winter makes you think of poetry,
then snowboarding is its haiku. Simple, swift and sensuously
succinct, here’s the gear to streamline your next winter ode:
Pure Snow
Arbor took T.S. Eliot’s ‘environmental’ poem The Waste Land and
printed it in its entirety on the topsheet of a snow-surfi ng vehicle.
Made from 10 sustainably harvested woods, the Waste Land is an
all-terrain board built for parks, pipes and powder pristine.

Dial It
Getting a super-snug fi t for your feet just by
spinning a reel may sound like simplicity
plus, but a better fi t also improves your ride.
The Thirty-Two Focus Boa pro snowboard
boot adds Boa’s ratchet-and-reel-style
lacing (a.k.a., boyfriend-free lacing), for
game improvement.
Ride This
Women’s twintips boost a big season of hot
new Betty boards. Ride’s hot Fever model
boasts a lighter, glossy, scratch-resistant
topsheet and sublimated sidewalls that
pop like a set of pinstriped tires.

Jeans are the universal uniform
of modern life. Now there’s no
need to shed them at the base
of the hill. Dark, distressed,
colored, acid-washed, enzymewashed
and sandblasted —
slopestyle denim mirrors street-
denim fashions. — Jenn Weede
