Skiers spend a surprising amount of time thinking about skiing when they are not skiing. The run they want to do again. The conditions that were perfect last February and what it would take to find them again. The gear upgrade they've been considering since the season ended. They have a way of organizing winter around the mountains — the trips planned, the powder days hoped for, the friend group that can actually coordinate schedules to make something happen. Getting a skier a good gift is mostly about understanding that their life has this mountain-shaped piece in it, and the gifts that land are the ones that fit that piece specifically.
