Aspen Snowmass Holiday Gift Guide
Updated November 2023
Lights glimmering amidst snow-covered streets, warm beverages by a roaring fire after a day on the slopes, nostalgic scents and music in the air—few things compare to the coziness of holiday time. And while giving gifts can be one of the most joyous parts of the season, it can also add some serious unnecessary stress. But fret not—whether you're hoping to help make a lasting memory, outfit your loved ones with the best gear, or support local businesses and organizations—we’ve built a gift list that is sure to be a hit, no matter who you’re shopping for.
Unforgettable Experiences
Private Ski Lesson or Clinic
No matter their skill level, there’s always an opportunity for your friend or family member to take skiing and riding to the next level. This season, purchase a private lesson or a clinic for the skier or snowboarder in your life. The beauty of a private lesson? It’s a guided experience, with a Pro providing not only personalized instruction but also an insider’s perspective on everything from secret powder stashes to the best on-mountain meals, helping to create deeper connections with skiing, riding, and our mountains.

An Unmatched Mountain Meal
The Alpin Room sits at the top of the Alpine Springs lift on Snowmass, and new Head Chef Emily Oyer is offering a fresh take on Alps-inspired cuisine this season. Imagine floor-to-ceiling windows, an incredible wine list, thoughtful shared plates, delicious entrées like Chicken Cordon Bleu or Caramelized Onion Fondue Tartiflette, all experienced in a high-alpine setting. Give the gift of a leisurely lunch or a quick bite between laps. Call 970-923-1227 to purchase a gift card—and hope they bring you with them—or secure a reservation to ensure they do.

Gear That Keeps Giving
A Gold Ski Tune with Ski Phantom Glide Application at Four Mountain Sports
It’s easy to neglect gear, but a ski or board tune can make all the difference while carving down groomers or tackling steeps. Take your giftee’s equipment to any of Aspen Snowmass’ nine Four Mountain Sports locations offering tuning services for a Gold Tune with PHANTOM, a permanent, one-time application base treatment that increases glide with its patent-pending polymer technology. Bonus: It’s also more environmentally friendly than your standard wax, which leaves residue and particles in the snow.
