If you fall into this category, this article is for you. Between all of us at the chalet, we have compiled ourfavourite ski gadgets and accessories to purchase for your next trip to The Chalet at 11º East Obergurgl.

Giro Compass Goggles

Razor sharp, distortion free lenses that are as durable as pricier models. The cost savings comes from two layers of foam instead of three, the no lens change systems and less free hinging in the strap. We think these goggles are some of the best value for 2015.

Warm, waterproof and lightweight. This breathable GORE-TEX shell has Thermatek insulation intended for backcountry descents and rest periods. The best feature of the Stikline is that it is designed to be warm inside and out, with water resistance for snow and sweat. This jacket will protect you from the mountain chill!
