After a thrilling day on the slopes, the apres-ski experience becomes a cherished ritual for ski enthusiasts. Elevate these moments with our curated selection of gifts designed to enhance your post-alpine relaxation. From top-shelf flasks to luxurious house slippers, and cozy sweaters to innovative fire pits, our list combines functionality with style and comfort.
High Camp Torch Flask ($99)
Renowned for its top-shelf drinking experience, this 6oz pocket flask is a stylish companion for spirit enthusiasts. With a funnel-free design for easy filling, a magnetically attached 3oz shot glass, and double-wall insulation to keep ice from melting, the Torch Flask is the go-to accessory for post-alpine adventures or your next hut trip. Please drink responsibly.
Ugg Women’s Scuffette II ($95)
Indulge in post-ski bliss with the UGG Apres House Slipper, an essential for skiers seeking maximum leisure during apres moments. Crafted with a soft suede upper and signature sheepskin collar, this slipper exudes luxury and comfort. Designed with both style and function, the Scuffette II features a plush sheepskin lining and insole, creating a cocoon of softness for your tired feet. The molded rubber outsole ensures a steady and comfortable tread, making it ideal for indoor lounging, hurried runs to the hot tub, and loading the ski rack in the morning. A similar version, The Scuff, is available for men ($90).
Solo Stove Mesa ($89)
We’ve been fans of the traditional Solo Stove for a long time and use it in our backyard year-round, but this tabletop firepit really enhances post-ski gatherings. Perfectly sized for everything from alpine dining tables to chic end tables (outside only!), Mesa adds warmth and style to your apres-ski moments, and it’s easier to tote to the parking lot than the full-size pit. The Mesa has an included stand, ensuring stability on any outdoor surface. Even though it is small, it packs an impressive heat output, creating a cozy atmosphere for you and your fellow skiers. Can you say ambiance, baby?
Krimson Klover Ski Alpaca Blend Pullover ($299)
I already know I’m handing this sweater down to my grandchildren. It’s that iconic. Crafted with a blend of sustainable baby Alpaca fibers, this sweater seamlessly combines sporty style with luxurious comfort, making it a standout piece for your favorite skier. It provides a cozy, eco-friendly option for skiers who value fashion and the environment. Elevate your ski fashion with this must-have piece.
Yeti Tundra 45 Hard Cooler ($325)
If you want your parking lot beers cold at the end of the day this winter (or on that river trip you’re taking in the off-season), the Tundra 45 is your ticket. This cooler boasts a solid all-purpose size, making it the ideal companion for various adventures. It is perfectly sized to accommodate overnight camp provisions for a group of four or to keep drinks chilled for a full day on the mountain. Its robust construction ensures it can handle the demands of a post-ski tailgate.
Paka Unisex Original Crew ($139)
The Alpaca Crewneck is a skier’s delight, offering unmatched comfort and style for your après-ski endeavors. Softer than cashmere, this crew sweater boasts stretch side panels and raglan sleeves, ensuring a relaxed fit and full range of motion. Crafted from 65 percent alpaca fiber and 35 percent recycled nylon, the natural OEKO-TEX-certified dye underscores its eco-conscious design. Hand-signed by the woman who knit it, each piece is a personal touch that adds to its charm. You may gift this to someone else but find yourself stealing it often.
SMMT PowderLoft Tote ($198-$248)
Bid farewell to the limitations of traditional canvas totes and welcome a tote reimagined for alpine living. As lofted as your coziest jacket, this tote offers lightweight protection, comfort, and a touch of insulation, ensuring your gear stays at the perfect temperature on a chilly powder day. With a media pocket, water-resistant stash pocket, two hydration (or après) pockets, a shell water-resistant wristlet, and exterior stow straps for carrying a jacket or towel, it keeps your essentials in order for a seamless day in and around the base lodge. The tote is offered in two sizes (35L and 20L) and the larger one will fit your ski boots.
