25 Gifts for Skiers ⛷️

The OCOOPA Hand Warmers are a must-have for anyone whose idea of fun involves hurtling down a mountain in sub-zero temps. These rechargeable beauties offer dual-sided heating, which will come in handy when your giftee realizes their gloves are about as insulating as a sheet of paper. With three heat settings, they’re customizable to your comfort level and have a compact size that will fit in even the tightest pair of ski pant pockets. Bonus: It can also double as a USB-C phone charger.

The Athletico Ski Boot Bag is the perfect gift if your favorite skier’s gear organization resembles the aftermath of an avalanche. This bag has six external pockets and an extra large inner compartment for their boots, helmets, goggles, and other essentials. It’s padded for shoulder comfort, meaning you’re also giving them a more enjoyable trek to the lifts. Ventilated compartments help mitigate that notorious boot odor, so your skier can unzip the bag without becoming the pariah of the chalet.

The Skiing Survival Kit makeup bag is a conversation-starting canvas pouch with dimensions that are 9.2 inches by 6.8 inches. While that’s fun enough, why stop at the bag? Secure your status as gifting royalty by stuffing it with actual ski essentials. Think lip balm for those wind-chapped lips, mini sunscreen for the unavoidable goggle tan, and pocket tissues for the chairlift sniffles.

Consider gifting the Top 50 Ski Resorts in North America Bucket List to the skier whose slope dreams are bigger than their local bunny hill.
