Best Boards for Locavores — Ski

Vanguard by Icelantic

Alpine touring skis were all the rage this season for anyone looking to leave the chairlift lines behind, whether headed for the backcountry, the sidecountry, or just taking uphill-downhill laps at a local resort. Icelantic led the charge with its new Vanguard, a cambered ski with an early rise on the tip and tail, an ultralight core, and stark art by Todd Parr on top to let the local wildlife know you're one of their kind. The ski, a Freeskier magazine 2015 Editor's Pick and Skiing magazine 2015 Official Selection, will be back for 2015-2016 with updated art on the topsheet.

Best Boards for Locavores — Snowboard

Funslinger by Never Summer

In a season when powder dumps were few and far between, Never Summer's playful Funslinger freestyle board hit the sweet spot. The slightly asymmetrical deck is light, spring-loaded and extra-flexible, and features Never Summer's patented "Ripsaw Rocker" rocker-camber hybrid shape. Translation? Perfect for throwing around in the terrain park and ideal for urban jib missions. Not too shabby in powder, either.
