Snowboard Mom Holiday Gift Guide for Mom!

Alright, welcome back to another edition of my Snowboard Mom holiday gift guide. My first guide of the season is all about MOM!
Mom is managing the ski and snowboard classes, she is making sure the family has everything they need before the season starts, mom not only needs gear but she needs things that make her feel as appreciated and special as she truly is!

So mom, go ahead and flip this over to your significant other, your kids, your parents, you in-laws… whomever is looking for something for you this year, this is the list to send them!

Mom’s Gifts

Let’s jump into the ski and snowboard stuff first. OutdoorMaster ELK ski helmet equipped with MIPS is a legend! As it has reinforced pc shell & shock-absorbing eps core with in-mold construction, those mips ski helmets are lightweight and durable, built for both comfort and maximum safety. It also comes is some great colour options! But they do sell out fast, so jump on it!

My go to goggles for the last 3 years: Ultra Goggles

Speaking about Outdoor Master, the Ultra goggles have been my go to goggles for years, and honestly I can’t get enough of them. I love the magnetic clic to change lenses and the rose goggles are great for most ride days! For value, and price, these are great goggles with easy lense change capabilities.

Looking for a style upgrade on the slopes? This Jacket is the one!

When it comes to outerwear, the Burton ak Embark Jacket is THE jacket. Yes it’s an investment, but after getting one last year for myself, I will never look at another snowboard jacket ever again. Adventurous riding and backcountry days demand temperature regulation and full mobility. The women’s Burton [ak] GORE-TEX 2L Embark Jacket mixes time-tested storm-proofing with a fit and feel that lets you ride, climb, and transition without missing a beat. Combine it with your fave mid layer, and you’ve got the one shell you can count on for staying dry, warm, and riding all season long.

Don’t forget to protect your face!

Protect that amazing face and skin from sun, snow and wind wearing a neck warmer! When it comes to winter and keeping warm, you need a neck warmer and I’ve always been attracted to fun ones! Jones Snowboards has a bunch of great neck warmers for the entire family.

Looking for an upgrade on gear? I got you covered!

Nothing says snowboard mom like some Step-On Bindings, and Burton has created some of the best out there!

Step up to Step On®. The women’s Burton Step On® Re:Flex Snowboard Bindings pair an intuitive boot-to-binding connection with all-mountain performance. Three connection points, two at the toe and one at the heel, deliver unmatched simplicity, security, and board control. It’s fast and simple!

Looking for your go to Jacket and Sweatshirt?

As a taller mom, this cropped trend floating around has not been for me. I LOVED the looked of the Lululemon Scuba Half Zip sweater, but in it’s original length it did me no favours. That was until Lululemon dropped the LONG version of the Scuba Half Zip. The colours are always being updated for this sweater, so if you see a colour you like, you have to get it ASAP. (Hint to the people buying it for you!)

Speaking about Lululemon, another go to is the Double Zip 22L Backpack! This has been my daily driver for work and travel for almost 4 years and it looks as good as new.

A Simple Yet Warm Daily Puffer

Off the hill, you need a good down jacket, and the Black Diamond Access Down Hoody should be your go to. It’s highly versatile and a midweight down layer with an ultra-soft hand-feel. Basically, you’ll never want to take it off. Featuring 800-fill goose down, the Access provides reliable warmth that’s shielded with a PFC free DWR for added weather resistance.

New shades she’ll love!

Now let’s look at my new favourite sunnies! Vallon Waylons Sunglasses. I recently got a pare and I love how chic and stylish they are!
The Waylons are an unrivaled combination of style and performance. Handcrafted from acetate, the frame is durable yet lightweight (32g) and delivers a truly premium feel. The polarized V52® performance optics (Cat. 3) and optional headstrap ensure this is the ultimate hybrid of sports and lifestyle sunglasses. Wherever you end up, you’ll never go wrong with the Waylons.

Now for some TLC

I don’t have to go into details too much as to why eye patches, lips gloss and lip mask as well as my current obsession for a water bottles are go to’s for mom. These are great stocking stuffers and also they are just amazing all around products.
