Canadian Holiday Powder Gift Ideas 2025
We’re excited to share PowderCanada’s Canadian Holiday Powder Gift Ideas — our annual guide to the most trusted, field-tested gear for powder lovers and backcountry explorers.
This year, we’re putting the spotlight firmly on Canadian brands that are leading innovation in skis, outer wear, base layers, fat bikes, and winter lifestyle essentials. These products are built for real Canadian conditions: deep powder, frozen mornings, big temperature swings, and everyday mountain-town life.
Every item below has earned its place through real-world testing across the Rockies, Selkirks, Monashees, and Coast Mountains.
2025 Canadian Powder Gift Picks
7mesh Guardian Apex — Squamish — $750
The Guardian Apex is the pinnacle of 7mesh’s outerwear design — a full-featured yet remarkably lightweight GORE-TEX ePE shell built for harsh Canadian winter conditions. Stormproof, breathable, and engineered for high-output mountain travel, it delivers reliable protection whether you’re ski touring, fat biking, or chasing deep days in volatile weather.
Devinci Minus Fat Bike — Chicoutimi — $1,999
One of the only major bike manufacturers welding frames in Canada. The Minus is designed for true Canadian winters — stable, fast, and fun on snow-packed singletrack and winter trails. A serious gift for the powder rider.
Ferreol Surfeur 112 Skis — Québec — $1,195
A playful, modern freeride ski handcrafted in Québec using cutting-edge bio-based materials and known for its eco-responsible approach to ski manufacturing. Lightweight for touring, stable in powder, and sustainably built. One of the most exciting new Canadian ski brands.
Foon Skis Tantalus — Pemberton — $1,200
Handmade wood-core skis crafted in small batches in Pemberton and shaped for deep Coast Mountains snow. The Tantalus is a fat ski that feels surprisingly playful and versatile — it floats effortlessly through powder, carves with confidence, and pops off everything from backcountry cliffs to last-run side hits. A true “buy Canadian” standout built for big winter terrain and bottomless days.
Intuition Mid Booties — Vancouver — $135
Warm, durable, and designed for daily mountain-town life, the Intuition Mid Booties are everyone’s favourite winter slip-ons.

Lightweight, cozy, and made in Vancouver — an essential winter companion.
Mountain Voices — Calgary — $50
Mountain Voices pairs deeply personal essays with striking “time-lapse” photography — historic survey images re-shot from their original locations to reveal more than a century of change across Western Canada’s high country. Glaciers retreat, treelines shift, and ecosystems evolve before your eyes, creating a powerful visual narrative of transformation. For anyone who loves the alpine world — its vastness, fragility, and stories — this book is both a tribute and a timely reminder of the transformations unfolding across Western Canada’s peaks.
Six Seasons Merino Collection — Vancouver — $32 to $298
