If you know someone who just can’t be separated from his or her smartphone on the slopes, then the eGlove SPORT Touchscreen Gloves with their amazing touch response for accurate typing and easy swiping on all touch screen devices are THE Christmas present solution for you. Lightweight, slim fitting and comfortable with 10 finger-functionality and anti-slip grip on the palms, no more frustrating moments trying to pick up an important telephone call on the slopes – and no frozen fingers while sending a text message either! That's if you can get a network in your ski area!
Zeal Optics Transcend goggles combine up-to-date design, style and technological innovation. They were one of the world’s first GPS-integrated snow sport goggles to be released last winter season. With a built-in display showing information such as speed, temperature and altitude, skiers and snowboarders can see live data up on the slopes. Once back at your chalet or apartment in your ski resort, you can connect with Google maps and your data is superimposed on the local map showing you exactly where you have been, allowing you to analyze your performance up on the slopes.
For those who just seem to never get their hands warm, the Addheat rechargeable heated gloves are the answer to your dreams. Say goodbye to uncomfortable hand warmers as these rechargeable heated gloves are powered by two tiny lithium-ion batteries that you don’t even notice. They are lightweight, flexible and comfortable and there are 4 different settings to choose from so you can keep your hands at just the right temperature in any weather conditions.
This glamorous ski helmet, designed by Petria Kwon for Crystograph Bogner, is an absolute must for ladies who like to be noticed on the slopes. This luxury helmet is adorned with no less than 20,000 Swarowski crystals! The perfect gift for the skier or snowboarder who has everything!

Being lucky enough to have parents who were crazy about skiing, my love for the mountains started when I was 4 years old on our first family ski holiday to Austrian ski resort of Obergurl. One ski holiday a year was never enough and tears rolled down my face as I looked out the back window of the car on the drive down the valley on the way home!
