Skier

For my favorite new-schooler

For my well-dressed old–schooler

I have a special place in my heart for an old-school powder-chaser who loves classic style and uncompromised performance. I want to suit him or her up in something no-nonsense and definitely not new-fangled.

Climber

I need to make up for all the lame presents I've given this climber

I have a climber in my circle who doesn't quit when the snow falls. I want to reward this person's determination with something he or she will say is, “too much” as they clench it in a death-like grip.

I want my climber to use this, but I'd like to be able to eat tomorrow

I'm dying to get that perfect present for an ice or alpine climber I know, but I don't want to freak them out by going overboard. I need some middle-ground goodies that won't disappoint.

I wish this climber was into knitting instead, but I'll support them in my small way

The thought of my climber scaling a glittering ice fall or maneuvering a gaping crevasse makes my head go spinny-wee, but nevertheless, I'd like to give that ice-monkey I know some safe little stocking stuffers.

This grown-up needs to have as much fun as possible
