3. Halfdays Lawrence Jacket
Best for: The on-slope style setter
Price: $395
Olympic aerialist Kiley McKinnon co-founded Halfdays to end the “shrink it and pink it” era of women’s skiwear. The Lawrence is the brand’s core insulated jacket, cut for a woman’s frame. We love the underarm vents and the sleeve pass pocket with a hidden goggle wipe.
4. Perfect Moment Polar Flare Jacket
Best for: The skier you want to splurge on

The Polar Flare is Perfect Moment‘s bestselling ski jacket, famous for its cropped, flared silhouette. It turns heads in the lift line and looks just as sharp at the après bar.

Norwegian Olympic mogul champion Kari Traa founded her brand to make technical layers women actually want to wear. The Kaia set uses 100% merino wool in bright colorblocking. It wicks moisture, resists odor and keeps her warm all day.
7. Fubuki Niseko Boots
Best for: The skier who wants something they can wear year round
Price: Starting at $149
Two Swedes founded Fubuki after a trip to Niseko, Japan, where a pair of bright orange work boots caught their eye. The Niseko 3.0 pairs a fully waterproof shell with a cozy wool-blend lining, and it’s surprisingly lightweight. They slip on easily after you kick off your ski boots and go just as well with ski pants as with jeans.
Bonus Stocking Stuffer: Supergoop! Glow Stick SPF 50
Price: About $32
Mountain sun hits harder at altitude, and snow bounces it right back at her face. This twist-up stick from Supergoop! slips into a jacket pocket for quick chairlift touch-ups. It adds a soft glow, too.
Bonus Stocking Stuffer: Skida Alpine Hat
Price: $40
Women-founded Skida sews its fleece-lined hats in Vermont in playful prints. The Alpine Hat is just as cute on the walk to après as on a chilly morning in town. Through its [+1] program, Skida also donates hats to patients undergoing chemotherapy.
