The best ski days are the ones where the mountains, the snow, and the friends you’re with are the only things on your mind. A great pair of ski pants or bibs eliminates distractions, like a wet butt or a cold one, so that every day you ski can be memorable for the right reasons. This year’s ski pants and bibs are lighter and softer overall, making it easier to move freely down the slopes. And bibs? They’re nearly universally better designed to make dropping the seat for a bio break a stress-free event. Whether you’re looking for insulated pants for sub-zero days skiing Stowe’s Front Four or you want bibs that can bounce between JHMR and Teton Pass, read on for our favorites.
