The Best Gifts for Snowboarders (2025)

​Snowboarding Gifts Over $100

15. Tuning Vises

Just barely over $100, these tuning vices are a great option for those who love tinkering. and taking care of their own boards.

You might even catch them on sale if you’re lucky. I’ve seen them under this price several times in the last couple of years!

A set of tuning vises is a great tool to help get your boards ready for the slopes – whether you’re waxing or holding them in place for other board maintenance.

16. Waterproof Hoody

For those warm spring days on the slopes, a hoody made from waterproof fabric is an awesome idea!

686 Waterproof Hoody – Water & Weather Resistant

We all have multiple hoodies that we wear throughout the season, but John has also had a water-resistant hoodie for several years that is one of his favorites. This waterproof option from 686 comes in a bunch of color options and even has a zipper pocket, adjustable cuffs, inner thumb holes, a pass pocket, and more!

17. Women’s Ninja Suit Baselayer

I know I already mentioned these for the youth, but the adult version is completely worth it, too. Every single one of us has at least two of these. They are hands-down, our favorite baselayer. When you click the links, check around at different sizes and color options, and you may even find a killer deal. We’ve gotten some as low as $30 when we were lucky!

18. Puffy Skirt

After a day of riding, a puffy skirt is a great way to stay warm around town and on the way home on cold winter deals. I have one like this from Skhoop, and it is incredibly toasty.

Skhoop Kari Mini Skirt

I love a warm down skirt over a baselayer, especially on snowboarding days. Once my snowboarding bibs, or pants, come off I love layering on a skirt for the ride home, dinner, or any other activities we have planned for the day. Cute and functional!

19. GoPro

It’s so much fun to take video and pictures of your days on the slopes and the GoPro action camera is pretty much the best option out there. It is built to take a beating, stand up to the weather, and takes incredible footage. Plus, they have several different ways to mount the camera to make it easy to capture video.

GoPro HERO13 Black

The Hero 13 Black is the newest model from GoPro that captures HDR video in 5.3k, improves on battery performance, and includes compatibility with Magnetic Latch Mounting.

20. Snowboards

No one complains about adding another board to their quiver! We are huge fans of Gnu, Jones, LibTech, and Never Summer around here.

21. Snowboarding Boots

A comfortable pair of boots is worth it’s weight in gold. Though, this one can be a bit hard to shop for, unless you already know exactly what your rider likes. That said, most companies have excellent return policies, especially around the holidays, and even if they aren’t perfect, it really is the thought that counts.

For a good starting point, that won’t disappoint, these are the new version of the best boots I’ve ever owned (and still use!) and John has a pair similar to these from a few years ago that he LOVES.

22. Snowboarding Jacket

This is hands down my favorite jacket I’ve ever had (John has one similar to this one that he loves!), but if you want more guidance we have an entire article on choosing the perfect jacket for cold weather.

Regardless, make sure it has thumb loops. Seriously. I know it sounds silly, but it’s a dealbreaker for me now. It makes getting your gloves and layers just right so. much. easier.

23. Backcountry Snowboard Gear

If you know an advanced skier or rider, they may be ready to branch into backcountry skiing or riding. Things like a beacon, probe, and shovel would make a great gift idea to keep them safe in the backcountry.

24. Snow Goggles & Helmet

A good pair of goggles is the best thing for visibility on the slopes. When I upgraded a couple years ago, it was night and day the difference it made. However, a couple things to keep in mind is that typically goggles should be tried on with a helmet to ensure you don’t have a gap and that the safest helmets have MIPS. Thankfully, you can find options that are paired to fit perfectly.

Smith Mirage Helmet for Women w/ MIPS

When shopping for a snowboard helmet, I’m always on the lookout for MIPS technology to potentially reduce damage from rotational motion in the event of a crash.

This option has MIPS, is compatible with audio chips, and has 14 vents that are one-hand adjustable to keep your temp just right.

25. Lift Tickets or Season Passes

One of the biggest investments snowboarders make each year are lift tickets or season passes. Snag your snow loving friendsingle day tickets or season access at their local mountain or a collective pass, such as Indy Pass or Ikon.
