What to Pack For a Cold but Cozy Ski Trip in Jackson Hole

K2 Cortex 125 W Zonal Boa® Women's Ski Boots ($900)

Every resort in Jackson Hole offers boot rentals, but if you plan to take up skiing, investing in your own pair is the way to go. These boots were by far the coolest part of my ski outfit and they made me feel unstoppable on the mountain. As a beginner, I wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and secure in the snow. The Boa® Fit System made it easy to adjust the fit and ensured equal pressure across the entire boot. Three hours into skiing, I didn't feel any pressure points or pinching. And in the afternoon, when I did get a little fatigued, I loosened the zonal control wrap to have a looser grip on my toe cap.
