The Holiday Season and Ski Season are coming into full swing. When you aim to surprise your hardcore skiers and ski bums with the right gift, you must remember that skiing is not just a sport; it’s a winter lifestyle. Skiers even have a language all their own. 

Our sports and tech editors aStylelujo.com reviewed numerous ski brands and hand-selected the chosen few to be featured here for our viewers. Just to let you know, ski gear and ski upgrades are expensive. But if you can’t afford to gift such high-ticket items, I suggest you gather a few people to pitch in and surprise the ski bum with a gift to cherish. 

We suggest you understand the performance benefits and how the item performs in the snow, on the mountain, and over time. And even though some of the styles are on-trend, remember that performance always comes first to the skier. 

And creative aesthetics give big rewards for the people on your list who are more après ski culture. 

Here are our favorites – just in time for the holidays.
