If you’ve got friends or family that love the snow, check out these great gifts for Christmas.

 

Experienced snow fans know base layers are incredibly important when it comes to maintaining comfort on the slopes. One of the best on the market is this no-itch merino wool layer from Icebreaker, slim-fitting and durable.

 

Buying a good pair of socks is all-important for skiing and snowboarding. Purchase well and you’ll be rewarded with comfort and durability, and the Stance Range Fusion Snow receive rave reviews at a bargain price.

 

Everyone has their favorite on-slope rituals, and for some that means taking a break for a hot coffee. Keep your drinks hot (or cold) with the extra-insulated flasks from Hydro Flask. There are various sizes and colors available at Snow and Rock.

 

It can be hard to think of what to buy skiers that have everything they need, but what about upgrading? The Black Diamond Helio ski poles are the lightest model on Earth, and are made from a single piece of carbon fiber. Guaranteed to impress.

 

Keeping warm on the slopes isn’t just a question of layering. Your face and neck are oft-overlooked areas when it comes to ski and snowboarding protection, and are even more important in colder climes. Invest in an Airhole Balaclava Ski Mask to stay toasty and protect your face from sun or precipitation.
