With winter in full force, I felt it was time to compile a list of a few of this seasons must-haves. If you're still looking for boards, boots, bindings and outerwear, be sure to check out our Online Buyer's Guide. Here are some useful smaller items great for on and off the hill. —TS

Snowboard DVD's
Still haven't copped the latest and greatest? What better way to get pumped up before you hit the hill, or watch while unwinding by the fire, then popping in a snowboard flick? We recommend Forum's F'It, Teton Gravity Research's Deeper and Pirates Hooked. Priced between $25-$35. F'It and Deeper are also available on iTunes starting at $6.99.

Beanies
Who doesn't want a new beanie? These are simple and the return on investment is a good one. They get their wear and are much appreciated. Vivo is a brand out of Canada beginning to make a name in the US. Check them out online at www.vivoheadwear.com.
