When the mountains get replenished with fresh powder overnight, we wake up before the sun and zip into the Mountain Hardwear First Tracks Jacket. The Dry. Q membrane allows us to ride through storms and send waves of champagne powder arcing through the air without a drop seeping into our baselayers. We can venture into the heart of the beast with full confidence in our protection with an integrated powder skirt, helmet-compatible hood, and soft wrist gaiters offering complete coverage for our upper body, and if things get warm, the two zippered underarm vents allow us to keep cool air circulating so we can stay on the hill until the last lift runs.
