Hey, you’re getting a $1,000 pair of skis for Christmas?
As the Violator said in Hot Tub Time Machine, “Good for you!!
So here we go:
SmartWool PhD Ski Sock, $23.95
Socks?
Isn’t that a little cliche?
Yes, yes it is.
But did you see that price tag?
That’s 24 bones that someone could be spending on beers instead of foot warmers.
But are they worth it?
Yeah, they pretty much are.
Today’s ski socks are wicking and padded in all the right places.
And the wrench doubles as a bottle opener.
You know, in case you want to open a bottle of Coke.
REI MTS Polartec Power Dry Midweight Base Layer, $32.50
Long undies.
Odds are your favorite skier or boarder already has some long underwear.
And odds are they have holes in them or they stink.
They’re light, flexible and pretty unfazed by snow.
Wrap the legs of this little guy around a ski pole or tree branch… bam!
instant scenic group photo.
The North Face Denali Thermal Beanie, $30
This one is for the ladies.
You really have to feel this one to believe it.
This is the softest fleece around.
So soft in fact that you might mistake it for unicorn fur.
And don’t worry, no unicorns were harmed in the making of this product.
There are a lot more expensive fleece’s out there, but why?
Simple 1/2 zip fleece’s are pretty close to the same from brand to brand.
This versatile bag will hold your boots and all your other gear.
The boot compartments zip off into small backpacks too.
Hot Tub Time Machine DVD, $15.49
Yes The Hangover is funny.
But Zach Galifianakis is no Violator.
Why did the whole world not go see this movie and fall in love with it?
It’s freaking great and Rob Courdry should win an Emmy for it.
Oh yeah, and there’s a little skiing and boarding in it.
