Peak Presents: 13 Gifts to Elevate the Ski Season

Colorado Ski Country USA Brings the Magic of the Mountains to Skiers & Snowboarders

It’s the holiday season, and you know what that means here in Colorado Ski Country USA: fresh snow and days on the slopes!

As you’re scouting for stocking stuffers or spinning up Hanukkah gift ideas, here are some snowy suggestions to give the chill chasers on your list the present of powder days and magical mountain memories.

Stocking Stuffers

• Our Ski Passport is perfect for students in grades 3–6. Give ’em four days each at 20 CSCUSA member resorts for just $67—that’s 80 days on the slopes for just $67! (Do we repeat ourself? We do! What a deal, snow lovers!) As if that’s not enough, every Ski Passport includes two free junior gear rentals, courtesy of presenting sponsor Christy Sports.
• Our Gems Teen Pass gives 12 to 17-year-olds access to the slopes at Colorado’s best-kept ski-crets—the Gems resorts! For $199, teens can enjoy up to 22 days of skiing or riding.
• “Fully compostable” probably doesn’t scream “tech accessories” to you, but Pela is here to flip the script. Pela’s phone cases are plastic-free, made from plants, and ethically manufactured on top of being incredibly chic. Check out their Ski & Snowboard Collection for the perfect stocking stuffer.
• Anything that makes hauling gear less of a hassle earns a spot at the top of our wish lists, and that’s where the Stevie Strap comes in. This clever accessory lets you carry your skis and poles with ease, taking the struggle out of schlepping to the slopes.
• You can never go wrong with a classic pair of socks, especially when they’re warm enough to make your toes do a happy dance. Smartwool delivers an impressive lineup of ski socks in every style, thickness, and colorway imaginable. Functional, fashionable, and downright cozy? That’s a win-win-win, people!
• Give the shredders on your list a little extra grip and a whole lotta Colorado pride. A snowboard stomp pad with a Centennial State twist adds style and function to your favorite snowboarder’s set up.

After the Party, It’s the Après Party

• For all the après aficionados in your life, a portable camp stove is an absolute must-have. Tuck it away while you conquer the slopes, then fire it up for a cozy lunch or a post-lift parking lot party.
• Level up your après game with a pair of cozy slippers. The Rossignol Winter Slippers from our partner Christy Sports are the ultimate gift for snow lovers who value comfort. Stash them in the car for that glorious moment when the boots come off.
• Keep those tootsies toasty and dry with a trusty rubber mat. Lay down an Adventure Mat while swapping out your boots and use it to keep your gear clean as you load the car. It’s the perfect defense against snow and mud.

Prezzies for Powder Hounds

• Got ski and snowboard sistahs? These clinics offer expert instruction tailored just for women, whether they’re out to master moguls, learn to carve perfect turns, or just meet new friends and make memories.
• Powder hounds, meet your match: the Head Radar Helmet. This clever combo fuses the perks of goggles with the sleek functionality of a visor helmet. With the Radar line, Head has nailed the trifecta—fit, style, and performance—all while keeping comfort on lock.
• Thanks to the collaboration between Christy Sports, SOS Outreach, and Nordica, there’s a ski that’s truly in a class of its own. The Nordica SOS Outreach Enforcer 94 features a limited-edition graphic, with 100% of profits going straight to SOS Outreach. Talk about a gift that gives back! But don’t wait—only 70 pairs will hit the slopes, so act fast before they’re all spoken for.
• Searching for the ultimate gift for the snow lover who has it all? Look no further than the Colorado Ski Country USA Gold Pass membership. This luxury pass offers unlimited skiing all season long at 20 CSCUSA member resorts with no blackout dates and direct-to-lift simplicity. Plus, it’s fully transferable, making it the perfect gift to share with clients, colleagues, family, or friends. Gold Pass membership applications are reviewed in the order they are received, and a limited number are available each season. It’s a golden opportunity to give the gift of endless powder days!

Last but definitely not least, consider the gift of a FREE subscription to the Colorado Ski Country USA Snow Report! Customize your delivery days and get up-to-the-morning snow totals, resort conditions, and more, delivered straight to your inbox at 7:00 am.

Happy holidays, snow lovers!
