THE SKIER
Sure, skis are a challenge to gift-wrap, but, in Aspen, the perfect present is one that has you scribing lines on Face of Bell with the latest cutting-edge gear.

Dynafit Hoji Pro Tour
Dynafit tapped pro skier Eric “Hoji” Hjorleifson to help design this new touring boot (available in men’s and women’s), which will appeal to a variety of backcountry skiers.

Galena St., utemountaineer.com

Native DropZone
Native frames, designed and tested in Colorado, employ an earth-friendly biodegradable resin made from the castor bean (Ricinus communis). The sustainable material has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than synthetic petroleum-based plastics, the company says.

Fasten the magnetic chin buckle even with mittens on and adjust fit with a turn of a dial. $250, Miller Sports, 408 S. Hunter St., millersportsaspen.com

Rossignol Experience 94 Ti
Technology developed for World Cup racing trickles down into the flagship ski in Rossignol’s Experience line. The 94 Ti is designed for expert skiers who want a powerful ride in any condition. A titanal rail running through the length of the ski’s wood core delivers stability, and a new honeycomb Air Tip filters out shocks. $800, Aspen Sports, 408 E. Cooper Ave., aspensports.com

Vӧlkl M5 Mantra
This all-mountain freeride icon is now in its fifth generation, but it’s been completely retooled this season. Völkl has innovated the construction of the metal layers inside the ski and added a carbon inlay at the tip. The result: The M5 has the stability of a ski with a full sheet of metal, but without the weight. $825, Hamilton Sports, 520 E. Durant Ave., hamiltonsports.‌com
