Outerwear: Saga... Quality and a fair price point

Goggles: Electric - love the EG2 goggles, nice and big and comfortable

Facemasks and shit: outdoor tech. Cheap and they work

yeah, i'll bite.

skis - Moment. Of all the ski companies I've skied on (which is many), they're the only ones that I have yet to break (and one of my pairs of Moment is in their 4th season - very impressive)

outerwear - Arc'Teryx. Never actually owned anything of theirs, but many of my friends own their stuff and I would too if I got the kind of deals they got. Best stuff in the game, hands down.

goggles - Electric. EG2's to be exact. Only goggle worth while, IMO

accessories - I don't understand the question.

boots - Tough one. I've been a Salomon boot guy for pretty much my whole life, but due to the fact that the don't make a touring boot (the quest doesn't count due to it not being compatible with tech bindings) I've switched to Tecnica and so far I'm loving them.

helmets - limited knowledge on this front as well. I currently have a Salomon helmet I like, but Smith seams to be doing a good job with their helmets. I guess I don't really have an answer for this one.

gloves - DaKine. The mitten's with the goggle squegie built into the thumb. Only gloves for this guy.

outerwear- Saga

goggles- Oakley and smith

goggles- smith, oakley

My mountaineering and climbing gear is almost exclusively Arc'teryx. I should have mentioned them as well. It's expensive, but it's the best - might not be the best for some people (baggyness, etc), but it's awesome.
 
As a girl: skis - Armada (ARWs for park/pipe, VJJs Powder/back country) Or the Coreupt Sonars for serious powder

outerwear- Armada long fit
