  • Tweet

Sure you could hunker down all winter under warm flannel blankets but what fun would that be? I am all about getting outside and embracing all the fun fitness activities winter has to offer. Last winter, I fell in love with snowshoeing and found it to be a great workout.

Holiday Gift Guide for the outdoor enthusiast

Of course you have to dress the part! I found all the winter essentials I need to stay warm & comfy on Sierra Trading Post where all the gear is always reduced significantly from retail. I couldn’t believe all the great bargains I found for the whole family.

I Have loved these SmartWool zip neck tops ($59.99 reduced from $110) and patterned bottoms ($49.99 compare at $100) for years. Tons of colors to choose from.

These Boulder Gear Skinny flare snow pants ($59.99 compare at $130) are super stylish & perfect for all the snow sports

I have had this North Face Thermo Ball Jacket ($99 compare at $199) for a few years. It’s lightweight and warm.

SmartWool PhD Snowboard Socks ($12.99 compare at $25.95) Blister free and very warm long time favorite of mine

PWDR Room slimline waterproof gloves ($19.99 compare at $54.99) now that’s a sale!

Have to keep hydrated with this Camelback mini ($29.99 compare at $50)

Grab up these Yukon Charlie Snow Shoes and get out and play. I found these last year and love them!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/02/2016 at 8:36 am

  6. Montana @ Pretty Lil Mudder says

    12/02/2016 at 8:53 am

    I don’t really get to do outdoor winter sports as florida doesn’t get snow! I do like being outside more this time of year because the weather is much better. It was cool and breezy for last night’s run!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/02/2016 at 1:11 pm

      The colder weather is really more enjoyable to run in for sure.

  7. Chaitali says

  9. Ana says

    12/02/2016 at 12:12 pm

    snow shoeing? What is that ? It sounds like fun! and I am not a big fan of snow.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/02/2016 at 1:15 pm

  12. Kimberly Hatting says

    12/02/2016 at 2:26 pm

    Well…since you’re asking….my favorite outdoor winter sport? Running! (you probably didn’t see that coming, did you?) I love being outside (even when the wind is frigidly smacking me between the eyes). Most of my outdoor runs are less than an hour long, so the cold temps are bearable.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/02/2016 at 4:47 pm

      I love running in the winter as well but last year I trekked around in my snowshoes in the deep snow and it was a great workout

  13. abbey sharp says

    12/02/2016 at 4:29 pm

    When I get a chance I love cross country skiing and snow showshoeing!!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/02/2016 at 4:47 pm

      they are so much fun!

  14. Kerri Olkjer says

    12/02/2016 at 5:58 pm

    Hmm, I need the jacket and the camelback for sure, lol. I just peruse gift guides as shopping lists! But it’s seriously cold here already. 27 was the high the other day.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/02/2016 at 8:13 pm

      It is getting cold! Reading everyone else’s gift guides is the best I get all kinds of ideas

  15. Nicole @ Fitful Focus says

    12/02/2016 at 7:06 pm

    I love your picks! Still debating what I should get!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/02/2016 at 8:13 pm

      It’s a tough choice!

  16. Ilka says

    12/02/2016 at 10:37 pm

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/03/2016 at 8:36 am

      12/03/2016 at 8:42 am

  18. Sarah- A Whisk and Two Wands says

    12/02/2016 at 11:10 pm

    So many great ideas! I might have to add a few to my list. Also some great ideas for others, of course because it is the season of giving! 😉

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/03/2016 at 8:37 am

      Well of course! 🙂

  19. jill conyers says

    12/03/2016 at 6:08 am

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/03/2016 at 8:38 am

      It’s a good one!

  20. Lisa @ Mile by Mile says

    12/03/2016 at 6:32 am

    I definitely need better outdoor gear for this winter. Warmer gloves and jackets will always be appreciated when it gets really cold!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/03/2016 at 8:38 am

      Yes I always have to plan ahead so I have the right gear when the snow comes

    I am not a fan of cold, but running in the cold used to be my thing!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/03/2016 at 5:47 pm

  26. Farrah says

    12/03/2016 at 9:10 pm

    The snow pants I come across are always ginormous and super unflattering–I’m definitely going to have to look into the Boulder Gear ones! *-*

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/04/2016 at 8:37 am

      I think they are much more tapered and stylish

  27. Kristy from Southern In Law says

  28. Kathryn @ Dancing to Running says

    12/05/2016 at 7:36 am

    I really need to invest in a Camelbak before I start marathon training. Maybe Santa will bring me one this year.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/05/2016 at 8:17 pm

      I hope so! 🙂

  29. Janine says
