Stay: Igloo Village | Kakslauttanen, Finland

I WOULD LOVE TO CHECK THIS OUT It may be -26°F outside, but inside the comfort of your thermal glass igloo, it’s far from rough. With a campus of 20 glass ensconced igloos, Igloo Village in Kakslauttanen, Finland is a star-gazing bonanza. Capture views of the Northern Lights and Arctic stars while you bask in a fully appointed room dome complete with ultra-comfortable beds, hot sauna and even an ice hole for blisteringly cool afternoon refreshers. For braver, warmer-blooded guests, the village even offers up traditional snow igloos that keep the temperature a balmy -20°F. Thankfully, warm down sleeping bags (rated to -30°F) and woolen nightwear are provided. Open between December through April.   Rates: $800+ per night   

Burton Mix Master Gloves

DAMN I NEEDED THESE LAST YEAR ON THE SLOPES  The Burton Mix Master Gloves ($160) represent one of the smartest solutions we’ve seen, integrating controls into the glove that communicate reliably with any iPod or iPhone over an RF connection. Of course, they also need to be good gloves, so they pack a waterproof Dryride Insane Membrane, a Gnar Guard leather exterior, microfiber lining, and a Pistol Grip pre-curved fit that increases dexterity while ensuring warmth.
