Where to BuyMore Ideas
Beyond the game itself, here are a handful of gifts we’d happily unwrap — the chairlift saviours, cold-day comforts and stocking fillers that earn their place in a ski bag. We’ve picked things we actually rate to take the guesswork out of your shortlist, so pick one to round out your present or work your way down the list.
- Retractable phone leashView on Amazon →
Clips your phone to a jacket so it never takes the long way down from the chairlift. Cheap insurance against an expensive splash in the snow.
- Hand warmers for inside glovesView on Amazon →
Slim heat packs that tuck inside the gloves and keep fingers working through the coldest first lift. A small gift that rescues a freezing day.
- Ski & snowboard waxing kitView on Amazon →
Everything needed to keep bases fast and protected between trips. For the rider who likes their gear dialled in before the first run.
- Carmex lip balm with keyringView on Amazon →
Mountain sun and wind are brutal on lips. Clips to a bag or pass so it is always to hand on the lift.
- Factor 50 mountain suncreamView on Amazon →
Altitude and snow glare double the sun’s bite. High-factor cover is the gift every rider forgets to buy themselves.
- JBL clip-on speakerView on Amazon →
Clips to a jacket or bag for a soundtrack on the piste and at après. Pocket-sized, properly loud and splash-proof for snowy days.
- Mountain walkie talkie twin packView on Amazon →
Keeps the group together across a big resort when phone signal drops out. A twin pack, so two of you can stay in touch top to bottom.
- POV 4K Pro action cameraView on Amazon →
Captures every run in crisp 4K, hands-free, so the best line of the day never goes unrecorded. The gift for the rider who wants the footage to match the memory.
