Likes: I've got a pair of snowpants that are AMAZING. They are comfortable, warm, and have lots of room in the pockets (which can be rare in women's clothing). I work in a kid's ski school, and even being on my knees out in the snow, I always stay warm and dry. They are amazingly waterproof, and the material stands up to the kids edges.

Likes: I have a pair of Nordica boots that I have had for about 8-9 years now and outside of minor wear and tear, they are in optimum condition. All of the buckles still work and they still keep my feet nice and toasty warm.

Likes: Nordica has been one of the mainstay boot manufacturers thought it's long history in the sport. With success in all facets of the boot market from racing to recreational, they are one of the few that covers the entire lineup of products well from top to bottom. A few years ago, Nordica got into the ski market in a big way. With a model called the "Hot Rod" they made a major splash in the notoriously hard to crack high end ski market. I think Nordica does an exceptional job of balancing performance on a very high end ski line.
