In low temps and high spirits, ML staff and partners offer up a variety of gear to keep you active in February, including boots, ski socks, bottles, powder skis, hoodies, jackets, roller packs… and a build-your-own ski/snowboard opp.


KEEN Revel IV Polar Waterproof Boot

The KEEN Revel IV Polar Waterproof Boot (for women or men) is built for winter days when warmth and traction matter more than shaving grams. It delivers serious cold-weather protection with 200g of KEEN.WARM recycled insulation (rated to -32°C) while moving with the agility of a hiker. KEEN’s Heat Trapolator technology layers three heat-retaining materials underfoot, paired with a thermal heat-shield insole. On snow and ice, the KEEN.Polar Traction outsole provides reliable grip, using 5mm multi-directional lugs. A compression-moulded foam midsole and lightweight stability shank add cushioning and support without making the boot feel stiff. It’s also available in high-cut and Chelsea styles.

L.L. Bean Cresta Stretch Rain Jacket

The Cresta Stretch Rain Jacket (for men or women) breathes, blocks the elements and moves comfortably across a wide range of activities. Built with a four-way stretch TEK waterproof-breathable shell, it delivers reliable weather protection while maintaining optimum mobility, whether on the trail or navigating city streets. The jacket features a fully taped, 2.5-layer construction that shields against rain, wind and snow. Core vents under each arm help regulate temperature during high-output efforts, while the mesh-lined hand pockets will double as additional ventilation when needed. The three-way adjustable hood, complete with a rear drawcord, allows for a customized fit. Overall, the fit is generous enough to allow for layering underneath, and the stretch fabric means you’re never constrained during dynamic movement.

Farm to Feet Wilson 2.0 Ski Sock

The Wilson 2.0 Ski Sock is designed for skiers who want warmth and performance without compromising boot fit. Made from traceable merino wool, it reflects the brand’s farm-to-factory commitment while delivering the natural temperature regulation, moisture management and odour resistance wool is known for. The Wilson’s ultralight, no-cushion construction is tuned for comfort inside a high-performance boot, avoiding excess bulk while built-in compression helps reduce foot fatigue over long days on snow. A seamless toe closure eliminates bulky seams in the toe box and minimizes friction that can lead to hot spots or blisters. The fabric blend adds nylon for strength and spandex for stretch and shape retention. And if you’re looking for an everyday, light-cushioned sock, look no further than Farm to Feet’s Mount Airy.

Le Bent Featherweight Hooded LS Crew

The Featherweight Hooded LS Crew is designed for year-round comfort, pairing natural fibres with tech performance. Made with Nuyarn, it features an ultralight 125 gsm (grams per square metre) merino blend that combines raw bamboo with twist-free wool, creating a layer that is both exceptionally light and durable. And Nuyarn’s spin technology helps the fabric dry quickly while improving elasticity and breathability. The material is soft against the skin and naturally odour-resistant, while the relaxed fit and four-way stretch will suit trail runs, lower-altitude ski tours, bike rides and hikes. It’s also OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning the fabric has been independently tested for harmful substances and verified as safe.

Prior Snow Build Class

Dreaming of building your own board(s) for the ultimate personalized shredding experience? The Prior Snow Build Class is a two-day customized ski- or snowboard-building workshop at their factory in Whistler (established in 1989). The build days leave the mornings free to shred Whistler and a third buffer day is included for testing your brand-new boards (or finishing them, if road closures or weather affect the first day). Personalized perfection.
