Women’s Patagonia Better Sweater Quarter Zip
This cult-favorite fleece strikes the perfect balance between cozy and technical. The sweater-knit exterior layers seamlessly under a shell, while the soft, fleecy interior feels great against skin or over a base layer—making it ideal for everything from aprés to actual mountain missions. The quarter-zip design makes it easy to regulate temperature on the fly, whether they’re skinning uphill or cruising groomers. Off the mountain, it pairs effortlessly with jeans for that classic ski-town look. Patagonia’s low-impact dyeing process uses significantly less water, energy, and chemicals than conventional methods, so it’s a gift with a lighter environmental footprint. — $94

Built from bombproof 7-series aluminum, these poles are backed by a legendary lifetime guarantee—if you ever bend or break them, just send Yardsale your war story and they’ll replace them free. It’s a warranty that actually encourages you to ski harder. — $179

Sarah Beabout Custom Bolo Tie
Do you ever feel like your outfit is missing, a little flair? Perhaps, some Western flair? But you’re still a skier, so cacti and horses aren’t so much your thing. Good thing our favorite artist Sarah Beabout read your mind. Sarah made us a limited run of her custom, unique winter bolo ties. Handmade with love in Crested Butte, CO, Sarah is a skier and artist at heart. So we weren’t surprised that Each one has its own custom leather necktie and aiguillettes, with a ski-inspired clasp.

FITS Ultra Light OTC Teton Ski Socks
For skiers with dialed-in boot fits, these minimalist Merino wool socks are a revelation. FITS uses super-fine Merino for natural moisture management and temperature regulation without the bulk—perfect for ski boots where extra material creates hot spots and too much volume. The vented foot top keeps things breathable, while graduated compression throughout the leg and calf stimulates blood flow to keep your legs fresh through long days. The understated Pinnacle design adds just a subtle pop of color. — $17 / $20
Perfect for: skiers who have performance fit ski boots and need a low volume sock that’s comfortable for long days on the hill
Powder7 Gnarnia 70L Gear Tote
The single piece of gear you’ll find in all of our cars, the Gnarnia Tote was born out of a desire to make skiing easier. The tote holds all the gear you need and want. A microfiber-lined pocket on the inside and outside gives you safe spots for lenses, goggles, sunnies and driving glasses. Extensive pockets on the exterior deliver tons of places to stash snacks and other gear. My personal favorite feature? The giant tote space leaves room for my boots, Zipfit liners, ski jackets, mid-layers, and apres clothing to change into after a long ski day. What more can a girl want? — $65
Perfect for: Any skier who’s toting a lot of gear, or who needs a little organization in their life
Stocking Stuffers
The Boot Horn
Not every skier needs a boot horn, but most wouldn’t say no if you handed it to them. The Boot Horn (by Boot Horn) is a simple tool. The cyclindrical shape slides in behind the foot or the shell of the boot to help you get into your boots easier. Whether you slide in like normal or “World Cup” your liner into the shell, the slick side of the boot horn reduces friction and saves you energy. This gear writer literally cannot get into her boots without them.
Perfect for: any skier you know who struggles to puts their boots on (so, most of them?)
Apres Ski Jewelry
We love these custom-made jewelry pieces from Apres Ski Jewelry. There are several different options for style and options, so take a loot at the full gallery to see everything from subtle studs to more dramatic dangleys. Every single piece is unique, and made from real recycled skis that we’ve found have reached the end of their life. Beautiful, and sustainable!
Perfect for: skier, or non-skier, who likes one-of-a-kind gifts
Powder7 Hydrapak
Dear skiers. We’ve been telling you (and ourselves, for that matter) to drink more water for years. That’s why multiple shelves in our warehouse are dedicated to custom water bottles. Give someone a fishing pole and they will catch a fish. Give a skier a water bottle and they…will continually forget to drink enough water. Well, if the annoying bulk of water bottles was your complaint, you are now out of excuses. The H2Go Bottle collapses to nothing, weighs 80% less than most vessels out there, and holds enough water to keep you hydrated as you push peaks. We have never made drinkwear like it, and we are pumped. Now…hydrate or die-drate!
Perfect for: any skier that likes water
