SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Looking for the latest gear for AT skiing, telemark skiing or splitboarding? Look no further than Mountain Gear. The national retailer specializes in skis, boards, clothing & gear for backcountry skiing and snowboarding. Mountain Gear is currently highlighting several products, including a GPS-enabled goggle from Zeal Optics. Here are some of our favorite products for this winter:

The Solution Splitboard from Jones Snowboards, $799

The directional rocker flex & expanded Blunt Nose of The Solution Splitboard from Jones Snowboards keeps you floaty in deep conditions. Magne-Traction digs in where most other new-school rocker edges slip-n-slide due to the increased edge contact along the waist. FSC Wood core is sustainably produced & procured, and a recycled base reduces industry waste. Ships with hooks & inserts; no pucks, skins or mountain hardware included.

TLT5 Mountain AT Boot from Dynafit, $749.95

Ski mountaineering just got a little lighter & more extreme. The TLT5 Mountain AT Boot from Dynafit uses a Pebax shell and moldable TF-X liner for unparalleled comfort. The short rockered sole makes this boot compatible with crampons, and the Ultra-Lock system provides exceptional cuff rotation and uphill agility. Downhill Booster Tongue supports your weight on the steepest descents. 5 lb 6 oz / pair (based on size 27.5)

GPS Transcend Goggle from Zeal Optics, $499

Pinpoint your line with the world's first GPS-enabled, in-goggle heads-up data display. The high-tech GPS Transcend Goggle from Zeal Optics have an integrated array that shows your speed & altitude, plus a vertical odometer, temperature & time. Real-time performance statistics are displayed with the touch of a button and can be quickly seen with just a glance. Polarized no-fog lens gives you perfect optical clarity. Control the heads-up display with 3 waterproof buttons and an intuitive mode selection menu. Available with a polarized lens or a polarized & photochromatic lens for variable light conditions.

Alpha SV Glove from Arc'teryx, $275

Dexterity-enhancing design and complete weather protection for very cold conditions and long tours. Each finger of the Alpha SV Glove from ARCTERYX is individually patterned to maximize comfort and grip while minimizing bulk. GORE-TEX Pro Shell packs bomber weatherproofing. Removable Wind Pro High Loft super dense fleece liner wicks moisture, dries quickly and retains its heat-grabbing loft; premium leather on the palm provides an awesome grip.
