Life-Link 5X Magnifier
The Life Link 5x magnifier is a compact and lightweight magnifier especially handy for identifying new fallen snow crystals or viewing countless items. Folds into a protective plastic case.
$13.90 
5x is good enough
Using the 20x pen is not always great in the backcountry...hard to handle, easily fogs, and the hole is too small for viewing. With the 5X Magnifier, none of these pitfalls exist, however it is not as detailed. This does not make a big difference because it allows for enough identification between snow formations and facet types. Unless your studying snow science, this tool is great for easy identifications of snow types.

Training Tips
If you want to make progess in your training, join a running group. A commitment to meet on a regular basis with a group of like minded individuals will help you keep your focus.
An efficient long distance running stride will have you landing on your heal first and rolling to the front of your toes.
One of the most mentally toughening things you can do as a runner who trains daily is to add a morning run into your routine. This means you are doing two runs a day. The morning run is simply more of a mental challenge then anything else.
Have two pairs of running shoes, especially if you live in a wet climate. Consider replacing your shoes no later than 500 miles into the life of the shoes.
