The 15 Best Ski Gear Deals at Amazon January 2025

Growing up in New Hampshire, skiing was practically a prerequisite for living in the state. I was strapped into my first pair of skis the year I turned six, and the rest is history. With so many years of skiing under my belt, I’ve naturally cycled through my fair share of gear — and in turn, developed a strong sense of exactly what makes something worthy of braving the slopes in.

Since much of my basics are years old by now, I turned my sights to Amazon to see what gear they had on the market and was pleasantly surprised to find that many top-rated outdoor brands now boast significant discounts on items I’d happily add to my collection. Below, I’ve created a list of the 15 ski essentials I’m eyeing at Amazon right now — all of which are on sale and ready to take to the mountain. With brands like Columbia, Carhartt, and Smith in the mix, I feel confident these finds will carry me through the rest of ski season in style, all while keeping me as warm as possible.

Columbia Women’s Whirlibird IV Interchangeable Winter Jacket

Columbia makes some of the best outdoor gear I’ve tried, so when I saw this winter jacket was 20 percent off, I knew I needed to add it to my collection. Making sure to keep as much skin as possible covered when taking on the cold is integral for actually enjoying my time on the slopes, and I love how this jacket has a higher neckline that can even keep my chin covered while riding the chair lift. It’s made with a waterproof exterior that will keep me warm and dry even if it starts to snow, but most importantly, it’s lined with heat-reflecting technology that works overtime to trap body heat without accumulating moisture. Plus, if I get warm, this jacket comes with a removable lining so I can wear that alone or just keep the shell on.

Arctix Women’s Insulated Snow Pants

At just $30, these best-selling snow pants were a no-brainer addition to my cart when I realized it was time to stop wearing my mom’s snow pants from 1997 and actually purchase a pair of my own. While they boast a flattering fit that, I admit, is important to me, they’re also thoughtfully designed with 85 grams of insulation, an adjustable waistband, and a wind-resistant exterior that will help me take on any weather in style. The pants are fitted with boot gaiters that will easily slide over my ski boots, effectively keeping wind and snow from touching my bare skin — and they even come in 34 fun colors and patterns (as well as neutrals, of course).

Savior Heat Rechargeable Heated Gloves

My extremities are the first things to get cold while skiing, so as soon as I realized that heated gloves were an option, I knew I needed a pair. This pair from Savior Heat is made from a combination of lambskin and polyester to trap warmth, even outside of its heating capabilities. However, the built-in lithium-ion batteries are the star of the show, allowing the gloves to have three temperature settings that provide instant heat. They’re easy to control thanks to a small panel built into the top of the glove, and at the lowest setting, they can even be used for up to seven hours on a single charge. Right now they even have a $20 on-site coupon that brings the price down to $110

HotHands Hand Warmer Value Pack

If you’re not ready to spring for heated gloves, my family has relied on HotHands hand warmers since the moment I hit the slopes for the first time, so it’s no wonder they’re a best-seller at Amazon, as well. Simply remove the sachet from the package, and once it’s exposed to air it will instantly begin to heat up, providing up to 10 hours of warmth. I usually tuck them into my gloves and boots for a comforting barrier against the cold air outside, and you don’t have to worry about them burning your skin either. If you find the packet is losing its warmth, simply give it a shake and it will reignite for longer use. You’ll never catch me heading to the chair lift without them.

Koolaburra by Ugg Koola Short Boots

Well-fitting ski boots are the most important pair of shoes to have at the ready when embarking on your ski trip, but it’s equally important to have a cozy pair of boots to slip into after you’re done on the mountain. I’ve been wearing my Uggs to and from the lodge for years, and at $65, this top-rated pair at Amazon is primed to become your new aprés ski go-to. They’re lined with cozy faux fur that will help to warm up your frigid toes after a long day of skiing, plus they’re easy to slip on and off amidst the chaos of the ski lodge. They come in 10 beautiful colors and have even earned more than 10,500 five-star ratings at Amazon.

Outdoor Master Kelvin Ski Helmet

Safety should always be your main priority when preparing to hit the slopes as a skier or snowboarder, and that starts with investing in a high-quality helmet. A best-seller at Amazon, this shock-absorbing helmet from Outdoor Master is an excellent, budget-friendly option if you’re just getting into the sport, and you can trust it’ll keep you safe from falls. It’s made with a reinforced ABS shell that protects your head if you hit it on the ground (or happen to ski into the exterior of the lodge, as I’ve done before), and its adjustable size ensures you can achieve a snug and secure fit. It has multiple points of ventilation to stave off overheating if you’re wearing a beanie or hat beneath your helmet, plus it comes fitted with an interior cushion for maximum comfort.

Smith 4D Mag Ski Goggles

You’d be surprised how blinding the sun reflecting off the snow can be, so for the sake of your vision I would not recommend hitting the slopes without a good pair of goggles affixed to your helmet. This stunning pair from Smith is well worth the investment as one of the top brands in ski gear, and right now, it’s on sale for 17 percent off in select colors. The smudge-resistant lenses are fitted into a medium frame that covers a wide swath of your view so you can clearly see the trail and the other skiers around you. Plus, they’re designed with ventilation to halt lens fogging. A silicone lining along the strap will keep them firmly in place on your helmet, and there are even so many cool lens colors to choose from.

Kgc 2-pack Winter Neck Gaiters

In a bid to keep as much of my skin protected from whipping winds as possible, I always have a neck gaiter tucked into my ski bag to slip on during particularly chilly days. This two-pack from Kgc is currently on sale for just $14, making it a no-brainer addition to your shopping cart. The gaiters are ultra-stretchy and lined with fleece for incredible comfort that’s gentle against the skin, and they can be pulled up to cover as much (or as little) of your face as you’d like. It’s safe to say you’ll be happy to have this in your pocket both on and off the slopes.

Outdoor Master Ski Boot Backpack

Skiing is one sport that requires a fair amount of equipment, none of which is particularly light. So, I suggest grabbing a bag specifically designed for holding everything from your boots to your helmet — since I got one several years ago, I’ve noticed I’m far less grumpy by the time I make it across the parking lot to the lodge. This spacious Outdoor Master backpack has ample room for boots, a helmet, and even smaller accessories like hand warmers, gloves, and a hat, leaving your hands free to carry your skis and poles. It has a waterproof bottom that won’t soak through after packing up your gear at the end of the day — plus it’s on sale for just $46 right now.

32 Degrees Women’s Thermal Lightweight Baselayer Pants

The layers you wear beneath your coat and snow pants are some of the most essential components for actually staying warm while skiing, which is why I recommend snagging a thermal base for trapping in heat no matter the temperature outside. These comfy, high-rise leggings are a great choice since they’re quick-drying, anti-odor, and super breathable, so you don’t have to be concerned with frozen sweat causing your body temperature to drop even further. Best of all, they’re now on sale for a mere $16, so you can snatch up several pairs to make your times on the slopes all the more comfortable.

Viceplus Heated Ski Socks

The moment I began skiing with heated socks was the day I could finally spend longer hours on the slopes without losing feeling in my toes. I highly recommend anyone with poor circulation invest in a pair. This option from Viceplus comes with an accompanying app to manually alter the temperature to maximize your comfort from the tips of your toes to your heels. They can heat your feet for up to nine hours of continuous use, and they’re also lightweight, super soft, and easy to wash. These socks are the best-kept secret for locking in warmth on the most frigid winter days, and it certainly doesn’t hurt that they’re just $50 right now thanks to a special double-discount at Amazon.

Tsla Women’s Thermal Long-sleeve Top 2-pack

Get the most bang for your buck this winter with this two-pack of long-sleeved thermal tops that will act as the perfect compressive and insulated base for full days on the mountain. There’s nothing I hate more than my clothes bunching up beneath my jacket, but the form-fitting nature of these shirts ensures they’ll sit smoothly against my skin. I’m especially drawn to this duo thanks to their thermal fleece lining complete with two-way circulation, keeping me warm without overheating. When I’m not wearing them skiing, they’ll excel at trapping heat during winter runs. At $15, you may want to go ahead and add two sets to your cart.

Carhartt Men’s Knit Cuffed Beanie

Since ski helmets are generally built for safety and not warmth, I love layering a beanie beneath mine to add an extra dose of coziness to my outfit (and keep my hair from looking wacky once I remove my helmet). Luckily, this timeless Carhartt beanie just went on sale for a whopping 52 percent off at Amazon, and with so many colors to choose from, I may have to snatch up more than one. It’s machine-washable so I don’t have to worry about sweat getting trapped within the fibers, and I like that I can adjust the foldable ribbing to be as thick or thin as I’d like. In my opinion, this is an aprés essential — and it’s just $19.

Hikeen Ski Carrier Straps

Carrying my skis and poles from the car to the lodge is one of the banes of my existence, so when I came across this workaround, I was instantly intrigued. The handy straps are simply hooked onto the gear with velcro, making it possible to sling my skis and poles over my shoulder, leaving my hands free. Anti-slip padding on the straps ensures nothing will dig into my skin or slide off my coat while I’m walking, and they can be used on boots, too. Plus, they’re a great storage mechanism for keeping your gear together when it’s not in use.

Simari Winter Glove Liners

It’s inevitable that at some point during the day — whether it’s while you’re on the ski lift or atop the mountain — you’ll want to take your phone out and snap a picture or respond to a text. But if you don’t want to expose your skin to the elements during this time, wearing a pair of touchscreen-friendly glove liners beneath your mittens will make a huge difference in maintaining the warmth you have. This thermal pair from Simari is a best-seller at Amazon, so grab it while it’s marked down to just $17. The interiors are lined with cozy flannel, while a fitted cuff effectively keeps wind and other elements off your skin. They even have small silicone attachments on the fingers so you won’t have to worry about dropping your phone in the snow.
