Skiing
Most of my life I have spent on the mountain. I learned to ski when I was two years old, and later became a competitive ski racer. Growing up on the east coast, but then moving Colorado for a few years, I've learned what the best gear is for both typ...
This ski is seriously the best because it is great for any experience level. They are great for big mountain, powder, groomers or moguls… you can do everything. I highly recommend these if you are a newby and looking to buy your first pair, or a savv...
Elan Ripstick 94 Ski - 2025 - Women's
Stylish, no fog, magnetic removable lenses. What more could you want? This goggle is on the pricier side, but it's worth the money. Smith goggles typically come with two lenses as well, one for sun and one for cloudy days.
Smith Goggles
For the more aggressive and experienced female skiier, these boots are perfect. They have the handling like a race boot, but the comfort of a plush snowboard boot. They are also so warm, have walk mode and pins for touring.
Rossignol Alltrack Elite 110 LT GW Ski Boots
This is a pretty inexpensive and well rated helmet that I personally have. I have had my helmet for years and will probably buy the same one! It doesn't have built in speakers or anything like that, but it works in the ways in should (protecting your...
POC Fornix Mips Helmet
I think the ski racer in me just has an affinity for this brand, but I can't part with them! I love leather gloves/mittens because they are so comfortable and warm. They might not be the most waterproof, but they can still withstand some light rain.
Hestra 3-Finger Glove
I cannot recommend this jacket enough. It is the only lightly insulated shell jacket that I could find that was worth buying. It is stylish, very waterproof, has many venting zippers and has room for another puffer underneath if you want to layer up....
Black Diamond Lightly Insulated Shell Jacket
I found this brand while I was living in Colorado. It is a small, but up and coming brand owned by women (a former olympian). I loved the brand because their gear is high quality, super stylish, and very functional. I currently have the lawrence jack...
Halfdays Insulated Jacket
To match my lawrence jacket, I have these insulated pants. They are also so flattering, functional and warm for those colder days!
Halfdays Insulated Ski Pant
I have this baselayer top and it's my favorite ski top that I have! It's pretty warm for a thin layer, very breathable and comfortable. I highly recommend
Women’s Omni-Heat™ Midweight Baselayer Crew
A matching pair of base layer pants to go with the top!
Women's Omni-Heat™ Midweight Baselayer Tights
These are an insanely good deal. They're medium weight under layers for skiing. Ski under layers are usually pretty expensive, and after spending so much money on the rest of the gear, buying expensive under layers feels crazy. I have these myself, a...
Spyder Women's Thermal Underwear Set
My absolute favorite mid layer. I use this under both my shell and my insulated jackets. Its so warm, breathable, and comfortable. It's not thick so it wont feel bulky under your jackets.
Patagonia Women's R1® Air Full-Zip Technical Fleece Hoody
The best ski socks! I only buy smartwool, they are superior to all other ski socks. They are made from merino wool, come in various thicknesses and are very comfortable.
Smartwool Ski Socks
Still thin enough to be comfortable, but added a little extra warmth. Smart wool is great for this kind of thing!
Smartwool Thermal Merino Reversible Neck Gaiter
I use these to protect my face from the cold, wind, and snow. I personally like lighter weight buffs on my face, because when you're all bundled up with your layers, it gets hard to breathe.
Buff Multifunctional Neckwear
The best part of the ski day is when you take off your ski boots and put on a pair of comfy warm snow boots. These boots are the best, especially on super snowy and cold days.
Sorel Tall Waterproof Boot
For the warmer winter days, these are my alternate Apres snow boots. They're just as waterproof so you can trek through the slush, but they feel more like a sneaker.
Sorel Short Waterproof Boot
I know what you're thinking… "these are so expensive!" They are… but they are worth the money. If you are an east coast skier, you know how cold and grueling the winters can be. And if you're a weekly skier, these are worth the investment.
Hotronic Foot Warmer Bluetooth Custom Set
This is my personal favorite, it's geared more towards ski racers because we have a lot of stuff… but even now that I'm a retired athlete, I love using it. I like not having my boots in a pocket, it just stays cleaner and is a personal preference.
Athlete Pack
This is a pretty good and reliable ski boot bag. I used to have one of these and it's a great option as well. It has side pockets for your boots, and then a middle pocket for helmet and other things.
Unisex 43L Water-Resistant Ski/Snowboard Backpack
Paddle Boarding
I just started paddling recently and I fell instantly in love. It is so peaceful, relaxing, and a great workout. An added bonus is, I can take my dog with me!
This was my first inflatable paddle board purchase and i love it! Through my research in paddle boards, this is a pretty versatile board, that is average in size compared to others. I purchased this board because I mostly paddle on lakes, wanted infl...
Isle Inflatable Paddle Board
Protect your phone! Don't just bring your very expensive smartphone on your paddle board without one of these. And a pro-tip: Tie it to your board handle so that it won't fall to the bottom of the lake or ocean.
Waterproof Phone Pouch
Absolutely essential for any water sports. This is a great bag, it keeps everything super dry and can attach to your board so that nothing will fall off.
Dry Bag Waterproof
I know this is a little pricey, but it's worth the money. This cooler is small enough to strap onto your board, and will keep everything cold throughout the entire time your out in the sun.
YETI Hopper Flip 8 Portable Soft Cooler
Cute and functional… we love that here! Get yourself a nice sun hat to protect your beautiful face from the sun.
SunHat - Women's
These just make it so much easier to tie and clip things to your board. I have a big pack of them like this.
Aluminum Carabiner D Ring
This is the pump that I have for my inflatable board. Seriously, do not buy an inflatable paddle board without an electric pump. Manually blowing up your board is exhausting and takes forever. These pumps are worth the money.
Electric Pump
Having water sandals is a must. When you park your board at the side of the lake, and there's a lot of rocks around, you'll want something on your feet. I like these because they stay on, dry fast and are cuter than regular watershoes.
Teva Water Sandal
This option is a little cheaper than the one I have, and it has great reviews!
Electric Paddle Board Pump
Hiking
To be honest, hiking is not my favorite outdoor activity, but I like the exercise. I love doing outdoor activities where I can bring my dog, Beau, as well… so that's the main reason I enjoy it. Here are the items I always bring with me on any hike, b...
This has been my favorite day pack for hiking, skiing, or any other outdoor activity. It has a pouch in the back where you could add your water bladder if needed, or a laptop. It is super lightweight and rolls up small when packing it in another bag.
Cotopaxi Daypack
These are my current hiking boots. They are waterproof, super supportive and very comfortable. I could wear them all day honestly, which I've never said about hiking boots. These boots I've used hiking a 14er in Colorado through rock scramble and mud...
Oboz Bridger Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots
Essential for hot summer days or high elevation hikes. This bladder is the perfect size.
Water Bladder
My favorite shorts for any outdoor activity. Honestly I love everything from Fabletics, but these shorts specifically are my favorite. They dry fast, are comfortable and a long enough so you don't feel over exposed.
Hiking Shorts 5"

Yoga
Gaiam Yoga Mat 6mm Thick Non Slip 68x24
Colorado Threads Winter Native Yoga Pants S Multi
I use these blocks for my yoga sessions. They're nice and affordable!
Gaiam Yoga Block
The best blankets for yoga or any outdoor activity! I bring this blanket everywhere honestly. I leave one in my car so that I always have it on me.
