From hitting the slopes to soaking in the jacuzzi, any outdoor native knows to enjoy the icy temps you need to dress for them! While braving it on the mountain you don’t need to worry about whether or not you’re going to miss the last chair due to frost bitten fingers and low circulation. Snowgrrl has been fortunate to test several compression items this winter, as previously mentioned.  During a recent visit to the gorgeous Four Seasons Resort Vail, I tried out the 2xU Elite Compression Alpine Socks.  Honestly, I did not want to take these off at the end of the day!  My legs felt energized throughout a challenging day in deep powder, even when I got stuck at the top of Vail’s scary-looking Challenge Run. . . my confidence may have been shattered, but my legs still felt great! 2XU makes a variety of compression apparel and would be a great gift to make the outdoor sports enthusiast in your life rider ready and snow bunny approved.
