Christmas gift guide for skiers & snowboarders
Christmas is almost upon us, and you might be frantically running around the shops or surfing the web on the hunt for a special gift for a friend, partner, child or colleague.
We’ve got your covered. Check out our festive gift guide, which will give you a few ideas for the skiers/snowboarders in your life.
Classic gifts
Play it safe and buy the skier or snowboarder in your life a practical gift for their holiday. Here are some ideas:
Neck warmers
Hats
Ski boot accessories
Ski socks
Ski boot bags
Ski daypacks
You could also get them a voucher for brands such as The North Face, Rab or Salomon, so they can choose their own gift.
Or, buy them a general travel gift which they can use on their upcoming ski/snowboard holiday and beyond:
AirTag - a tracking device for their luggage
Reusable water bottle - to take in their rucksack on the slopes
Portable charger - for the plane and transfer journey in France
Packing cubes - to keep their suitcases tidy
For the beginner skier/snowboarder
If they are new to the slopes, treat your friend or family member to a ski or snowboard lesson. Look into their nearest dry slope and book them a few sessions with an expert to help them get started.
For the bookworms
If your loved one likes to curl up with a good book and a cup of tea, here are a few book recommendations:
Fifty Things to Do in the Snow, by Richard Skrein, illustrated by Maria Nilsson - your winter survival kit.
Brave Enough, by Jessie Diggins and Todd Smith - gold medalist Jessie Diggins takes us on her journey to international sports history.
To Heaven’s Heights: An Anthology of Skiing in Literature, by Ingrid Christophersen - A collection of ski stories from famous authors including Ernest Hemingway, Ian Fleming, Sylvia Plath and Bill Bryson.
