It used to be that shopping for holiday gifts for skiers meant standing in long lines and browsing for hours in sporting goods stores. Now, thanks to the Web, you can get online 24/7 and find all sorts of gift ideas that you hadn't even thought of. And if you're still stumped, check into gift cards. Talk about easy! Have them sent as an E-card, which is mailed to the recipient's email address or as a paper version, which might take 3 or 4 days. If you like giving an actual gift, shop around and ask your giftee to sign up for a gift registry and then you'll know exactly what to get.

If you're someone who enjoys giving a gift that you selected yourself, you won't go wrong with items that are easily lost or misplaced. Think gloves, neck gators, ski locks. Another great choice is a lift ticket - who wouldn't be thrilled?

If your skier is someone whose work keeps them connected to their computer, consider a computer backpack. These bags put an end to complaints about carrying gear and computers simultaneously. Throw a set of thermal underwear inside the bag as a surprise! You can make their trip even easier by buying them a SporTube Ski Case that can be wheeled through airports or parking lots. Make walking through icy parking lots safer by throwing in a pair of Yaktrax Walkers.

Backpacks and ski bags also make excellent gifts for little folk, since you don't have to worry about them outgrowing them. Winter pajamas are also a excellent choice, because you can buy them baggy enough to last a few years. For kids between the ages of 4-8, keep them excited about the snow by getting them a pair of snow shoes.

Keep the kids in shape for ski season with the Profile Body Ball. Since no adult skier should be without a stability ball, try the Valeo Body Ball, complete with wall chart.
