Personally, I’d go for the former.
Fortunately there are lots of options in Colorado.
Woodward at Copper is a year round snowboard and ski training camp dedicated to park and pipe progression.
I’m gonna show those kids how an old man does it.
Some are associated with resorts, and some are more out there on their own.
What a phenomenal experience to give the gift of turns in untouched powder!
Yeah, this would be for that target audience.
Or, maybe you just save up all year for a great experience!
Backcountry Touring – Another more affordable option is heli or cat accessed backcountry tours.
Liftopia has affordable tickets for almost every mountain in Colorado.
Never been to Monarch, Durango, Steamboat, or Wolf Creek?
Great mountains, great gifts.
He could still benefit from a lesson.
Every mountain has lessons with a broad range of packages.
Avalanche Class – Someone you know getting into backcountry?
Get them a class.
They’ll love you for it.
Check out the Colorado Avalanche Information Center Calendar for events in your area.
Weekend in the Mountains – This is a simple one.
Just get someone a hotel night or two.
Now with Groupon Getaways, it’s possible for you to find really cheap deals all over Colorado.
Any of these would be great gifts that would be extremely appreciated by your favorite skier or boarder.
*Note to Mom and Dad, I can still use more ski socks for Christmas…
