TAIA LEITUALA
To be a skier, you truly have to be built different. Some people are born into a legacy of skiers, starting out with ski school at the age of one. Others start a little later and learn at their own speed. (Literally!) Wherever your friends and fam fall on that spectrum, you probably know that skiing takes a lot of concentration, grit, and, uh, equipment. That makes for an extensive gift list.
For hardcore fans of the winter sport, sure, you should have some boots, skis, a helmet, a jacket, and some poles. And while you’re at it, why not pick up some fun ski-themed merchandise for the fam and yourself? I’m talking an “It’s All Downhill From Here” beer pint glass for your brother and the 100 Slopes of a Lifetime book for your aunt, the bucket list skier—in addition to the legit ski equipment you’ll need for the trip.
Now, I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right. It is way too early to be buying holiday gifts…but hey, at least it’ll help to get you thinking about what’s on your own wish list this year, too.
Trust me, these gifts will make your next ski-cation exponentially better. (Maybe they’ll even prevent you from getting lost on top of the mountain and having to ski down a double black diamond by yourself—which definitely happened to a friend, not me when I was 16.)
Ahead, find 40 of the best gifts that will make the skiers in your life extremely happy. Shred on!
