GIRL GIFT GUIDE FOR SKIERS AND SNOWBOARDERS

1)  Union Juliet Bindings

Now I'm not saying that all girls buy things based on looks but these bindings are beautiful AND they perform even better than they look. These are the perfect all round bindings for any all mountain or freestyle setup. The ankle and toe straps are super comfortable and evenly distribute pressure across your foot providing a snug fit all day long. The EVA foam base dampens impact and smooths out any vibrations and bumps, which means they keep your legs charging the mountains and park for hours. £134.99.

4)  Eivy Baselayer Pants 

No snowboarder or skier can be disappointed with a new pair of thermals for Christmas when they are this pretty. Eivy have some really gorgeous prints this winter, I really don't think you could choose a bad set! It's an easy winner if you are unsure of what kind of style the person is into. Soft, stretchy and quick drying fabric means these will keep you warm and comfortable on those extra cold mountain days. The great thing about Eivy base layers is that they also look great worn in the chalet. £46.99.

5)  Celtek Gore-Tex Calypso Mittens

With the addition of Gore-Tex tech this winter you know you're in good hands with Celtek. The Hunter graphics designed by Lisa Frank are sure to be a hit with the ladies, this season because, yet again, it is tech that performs just as well as it looks. The cuff on these mittens stops any snow and cold getting in and the finger inserts inside keep your hands extra warm and snug. Mittens are always the warmer choice when it comes to gloves vs mittens so go for them if the person you're buying for always complains about being too cold! £74.99
