Rossignol Arcade W 88

 

An early favorite out of the 2026-’27 ski test, the Rossignol Arcade is on track to be a very popular ski (it’s already sold out on several websites). This woman’s ski was praised for its balance and ease of maneuverability, which is bound to make mom smile all winter long.

Treat Mom’s hardworking hands to some luxurious gloves. Made with a cowhide exterior and a removable wool inner liner, these gloves are perfect to grip everything from ski poles to tiny hands. Best of all, they come with the signature Hestra wrist strap, so Mom never needs to worry about losing her glove.

Aviator Nation Sweats

An expensive sweatshirt is probably not on a busy mom’s mind, which is why treating her to Aviator Nation’s 100 percent cotton loungewear is the ultimate gift. The female-owned, California-born brand is fun, colorful, and makes for the perfect après ski look. Plus, it’s soft, like really, really soft.

Women’s Solstice Lightweight Wool Hoodie

 

With sunny days on the horizon, a UPF shirt is a must. Help keep Mom safe from harmful rays all summer long with Ridge Merino’s lightweight hoodie. With a drawstring hood, this shirt is sure to be a new favorite.

Vuarnet Belvedere 14 Sunglasses

Speaking of sun protection, gifting Mom a new pair of sunglasses is a surefire way to make her day. Vuarnet has plenty of styles that will satisfy every type of Mom, and we found the Belvedere 14 to be a stylish jack of all trades. These polarized sunnies will protect sensitive eyes from harmful rays without sacrificing style or depth of view. Perfect for summer hikes and winter ski tours, a new pair of glasses will definitely make Mom’s day.

Bag Balm

 

You don’t need to spend a lot for a thoughtful gift, and Bag Balm is the perfect example. This local Vermont company has been keeping hands, lips, and anywhere else that needs some TLC hydrated since 1899. The vaseline-like formula is long-lasting and fragrance-free—and it works wonders on needy skin.

Dagne Dover Landon Neoprene Carryall Bag

 

A stylish bag that can fit ski boots in winter, hiking gear in summer, and is carry-on sized all year round? Yes please! The Landon Carryall bag from Dagne Dover is about to be Mom’s new favorite accessory. With endless pockets and built-in organization, she can use it every time she leaves the house. The neoprene material is easy to clean, and it comes in eight colors, so there’s bound to be a shade that’s right for her. There are four sizes (small through XL), but if you’re looking to haul ski gear, we recommend the XL.

If she’s looking for something a bit more compact, the brand recently launched a shoulder bag, which is the perfect size for hauling the essentials (hats, extra socks, snacks, etc. to and from the slopes, park, and everywhere in between.
