BURTON PROWESS JACKET
Price: £205
Burton make some of the raddest women's outerwear on the market. Forget tight short jackets, these guys are known for making good-looking baggy long-length snowboarding jackets for women. We are fans of this year's Prowess jacket with its premium waterproof/breathable Durashell fabric and sherpa-fleece lined collar. It's also made with 40 per cent recycled insulation. Nice one, Burton.
DC VENEER RIDING SWEATSHIRT
Price: £65
DC make some awesome mid-layers for women who spend a lot of their year in the mountains. With a super soft fleecy lining, the Veneer riding sweatshirt is perfect for layering under your jacket. I love the roll neck which acts as an extra neck warmer on those cold windy days. Come spring, you can wear it on its own, thanks to the durable water repellent finish. I've had so many comments from friends saying how much they love the colour of this sweatshirt.
Dakine Mackenzie Bib Trousers
Price: £203
Bib snowboarding pants are all the rage right now. Dakine have made an awesome pair of women's bib pants that are miles away from those nerdy ones you used to wear as a kid. These Mackenzie Bib trousers are sleek and black with a close-fitted cut, so you won't look like Will Smith circa 1992. They have a two-way access chest pocket plus zips in the legs which double up as vents. Major bib bonus: you won't end up with snow down your pants on a powder day, plus they act as an extra layer to keep you warm.
Mons Royale Rocker Raglan Thermal Top
Price: £74.99
Mons Royale make top quality base layers from merino wool, which will not only keep you warm on cold days but also have natural anti-bacterial properties eliminating any odours. The Raglan Rocker top comes in this nice striped design with an extra long fit, so it will cover your bum.
Stance Socks Kora La V2
Price: £18
Stance are top of their game when it comes to snowboarding socks. The Kongsberg socks were designed by Norwegian pro snowboarder Silje Norendal inspired by the country's traditional dress. They are also made from merino wool, plus each pair has breathable mesh panels built in to improve ventilation.
Salomon Ivy Boots
Price: £180
When it comes to snowboarding boots, I'm a Salomon girl through and through. Different boots suit different feet. The Ivy boots are comfortable with soft flex which makes them great for beginners and intermediates. They have a dual zone lacing system allowing you to change the tightness of your laces around the foot and ankle separately.
DC Seger Gloves
Price: £42
Looking for a pair of good quality gloves that will keep your hands toasty warm? With a rad tribal pattern, warm fleecy lining and sleek faux suede palms, DC's Seger gloves are fast becoming my new favourite pair. I wore them up to Saas Fee in Switzerland on a freezing -15°C day and my hands were in the warmest in our group. Plus I could check my phone without taking them off, thanks to the touchscreen pad on the index finger. Cool, huh? Make sure you take a look at the matching DC Cruiser snow jacket.
Melon Jackson Goggles
Price: £75
Everyone is wearing Melon goggles nowadays. They have an amazing feature when you can design your own customised pair of goggles. Just choose the lens, frame and strap in any colour you want. We're a big fan of the tie-dye strap with these yellow low-light Zeiss lens for overcast snowy days.
Picture Organic Tempo Helmet
Price: £60
Picture are quickly becoming one of my favourite ski/snowboarding brands. Why? Because they are one of the most eco-friendly snowsports companies out there. The Tempo helmet is made with 100 per cent bio-sourced and recycled materials. The shell is made from a polymer derived from corn, the liner is created from recycled polystyrene from the Japanese car industry and the ear pads are created from recycled PET plastic bottles. How cool is that?
