The 15 Best Gifts to Give Skiers This Holiday Season

Field magazine

The start of ski season coincides naturally with the holidays, and while making snowfall predictions is dicey work, it’s a sure bet that any skiers you know will love a new addition to their always evolving kit.

The best gifts for skiers pull double duty, be it for on and off mountain wear, or use inbounds and the backcountry. This might be something as simple (but essential) like a pair of ski-specific socks or a new beanie. Or more involved like a pair of custom-fit snow goggles, or boots for après ski. (Or a new pair of swallowtail skis, if you’re seeking eternal devotion in return.)

With the most picky, design-driven skiers in mind, I’ve compiled the following list of the best gifts for skiers, according to a lifelong skier (yours truly). Anything on this shredder-approved list of ski gift ideas is sure to be adored and, when that winter-making storm finally does roll through, used well. Read on and dig in.
