What do you guys want in ski gear that doesn't exist?

all zippers should definitly pull up to close so that if you accidently dont zip them all the way you dont lose all your shit

When zippers pull up to close, they inevitably unzip even if you closed them all the way, so you lose all your shit. It's also harder to close them all the way when the zip upward because the loose fabric gets pulled with the zipper, causing waves and wrinkles when you need flat material for the zipper to close.

Jackets zip up and dont come undone? you can pull fabric down too??? I have shorts which zip down and I always end up zipping shit out of the pocket like pens so it sticks out. Also I find I accidently dont zip things all the way up especially when Im skiing with mitts on
 
I have these vintage nevica ski pants that zip all the way down, like completely zip open like a jacket. I'd like that to come back
 
Gear detector. Say you crash in waist deep powder and lose a ski; you pull out your phone and the app helps you find that missing ski with a direction arrow.
 
This would have saved me 45 minutes of trudging and using poles to troll for a ski. I dont know how anyone finds the white bentchetlers

Goggles with a heads up display and showed stuff like mph ,air temp, altitude, a clock, incoming texts/rmails/calls ,were you are on a topo map via GPS, the list goes on . Probably fantasy now but someday the technology might be there.

It was done. I'm guessing it failed hard too.
 
A gopro mount that doesn't rip off my helmet whenever I eat absolute shit. Having to tie the gopro to my helmet sucks

More long skis in general. It’s hard to find a 190 park ski that I want to ride I feel like most skis could use atleast another size. I am 6’5 and 200pounds though so I’m definitely bigger than most but a man can dream.

Although crazy expensive, there are custom ski shops who could make skis to whatever length and specs you could want.

Dainese has something kind of like this, but it's expensive at $1700. There's some debate as to whether it works.

I want a facemask which doesnt get wet/freeze, and gloves which will actually stay over or under my jacket. A cheap simple helmet with a twist to tighten that doesnt come off with the ears would be nice too.

Buy the bike version of helmets. I have the Bern Macon bike. Its the same shell and foam, the twist function is still there, no ear pieces tho.

probably already been said but, a jacket that's actually waterproof enough to handle a full wet snow day like we get on the west coast w/o having to go with the trash bag strategy

Not sure if you’ve seen em, but the Columbia Outdry coats are insanely waterproof. They’re a bit rubbery, but there’s nearly a 0% chance of any water getting in. It’s been such a godsend to own in the PNW
