Three gold gives Frank the incredible distinction of being the only rider on the Top 20 Most Snowboard Gold list who has never actually competed on-site at an X Games event.

If you go to a ski resort this year, you will see a new trend: the goggle sock. Unicorn Picnic managed to get its hands on a big box of goggle covers that were designed for the military, but were just going to be thrown out. They have plenty of padding to protect the lens, but it tucks away in your jacket pocket.
An arm on each side clicks to your goggle straps like a snap bracelet, holding them there securely, and they even have an integrated shammy. The cute koala graphic was designed by pro skier Lynsey Dyer, and proceeds go to nonprofits aimed at teaching women and girls of all backgrounds outdoor skills. This batch is a limited run, but if they sell out I was assured that they would make more.
You still might want to act quickly. Made for helmets that support audio, the Smith x Aleck Wireless Audio Kit is a new product that stands out in a couple of ways. For starters, it actually sounds good! The app is where the other part of the magic lies.

You get up to 7. Jabra now has an Active version: the Elite Active 75t, which adds waterproofing. It used to be that if you were going into the backcountry you really needed three things: a beacon, a shovel, and a probe.
These days, many guide outfits are adding a fourth thing to that list: a two-way radio. The BC Link 2. The radio itself stows in your backpack, while the part with the mic, speaker, and volume controls clips to your backpack strap. You can shoot in degrees, and then play director later on, adjusting the camera angles and zoom, to show your audience what it was really like to be there.
The files can still be a pain to deal with, but for capturing as much as possible of your experience, this is the camera to beat. That being said, if you plan to spend a lot of time filming other people, then the GoPro Hero9 Black would be the better camera because of its 4K capabilities, excellent image stabilization, and ultra smooth slow-motion capabilities. It also has vertical or horizontal carry for snowboards and diagonal carry for skis.
All right. Obviously, a lot of these things are down to personal preference, but my job has afforded me the privilege of testing out some of the highest-rated stuff out there, and this list represents most of my favorites.
