Massage Gun Gifts for Skiers and Snowboarders

A massage gun gift for skiers and snowboarders fits the best part of a mountain day after the last run: back at the condo, the lodge or home, boots off and feet up. Both of our models cost $49.90 with free US shipping and 30-day returns, or $84.90 for a 2-pack with a Turkish towel set, which suits a couple or two friends who ski together.

Why It Works for a Skier or Snowboarder

  • It fits the ski trip. The carrying case holds the gun and all 6 heads and slides into a duffel or a carry-on, and one charge lasts up to 6 hours, so the charger can stay home for a long weekend.
  • It covers the muscles a day on the mountain uses. Skiing and riding work the thighs, calves, glutes and the muscles of the lower back, and the 6 heads cover big muscle groups and smaller spots.
  • It is quiet in a shared condo. Both models run at 30 to 50 dB, so one person can use it on the couch while the rest of the group watches the game or goes to bed early for first chair.
  • It lasts the whole season, not one trip. It lives in the gear room next to the boots from the first snowfall to spring skiing.

Which Skier Are You Shopping For?

Skier or rider Our pick Why
Weekend day-tripper who drives up before sunrise 30 Speed Massage Gun 30 speeds to start low and go up step by step. Rides in the car next to the boot bag and gets used at home that evening, never on the drive.
Snowboarder 20 Speed Massage Gun Simple controls, a digital display for speed and battery level, and a black finish that sits well next to a board bag.
Flies to the mountains once a year 20 Speed Massage Gun Compact in its case. Pack it in your carry-on, since airlines generally want devices with lithium batteries in the cabin; check your airline's rules before you fly.
A couple who ski together 30 Speed 2-pack One gun each after the last run, so nobody waits. $84.90 with a Turkish towel set.
Friends sharing a ski condo 20 Speed 2-pack Split the cost: $42.45 per massage gun, plus a Turkish towel set for the condo.

The Ski Trip Bag

A ski trip means a lot of gear. Here is what the massage gun travels with, and what we can add to the gift.

Item Why it is in the bag From Pulse and Cotton?
Massage gun in its case For the evening after the last run, at the condo or at home. Yes, $49.90
Turkish towel Thin, light and quick to dry, so it takes little room in a packed duffel. Handy for the condo hot tub or the lodge shower. Yes, see our Turkish towels
Throw blanket For the couch by the fireplace, or the long drive home with tired passengers. Yes, see our Turkish cotton throw blankets
Goggles, gloves, neck gaiter, hand warmers Mountain essentials. Most skiers already have favorites. No
Lift tickets or a season pass The big purchase, usually made months ahead. No

Cold Weather Tips for the Massage Gun

  • Do not leave it in a cold car overnight. Bring it inside with the boots so the battery stays at room temperature.
  • Charge it indoors at room temperature, never in a freezing garage, a ski locker or a parked car.
  • Warm up first. Wait until you are inside, changed and warm before using it, and skip any spot that still feels cold or numb.
  • Keep it away from melting snow. It is not water resistant, so keep it zipped in its case away from wet gloves, boots and jackets.

A Simple Routine After the Last Run

  • Wait until you are back inside, out of your ski or snowboard boots and warmed up.
  • Start on the lowest speed with the ball head.
  • Thighs, front and back: about 1 minute each side, keeping the head moving.
  • Calves: about 1 minute each side, staying off the shin bone.
  • Glutes: about 1 minute each side.
  • The muscles beside the lower back: about 1 minute, staying off the spine itself.
  • Ten minutes or less in total is plenty.

When to Give It

  • Christmas, right as the season opens: order by December 17 for delivery before the holidays with free standard shipping.
  • Before a big ski trip, or a first trip to a new mountain.
  • Opening day, a first season pass, or a first season on a snowboard.
  • A winter birthday, or the end-of-season party after spring skiing.

Safety Note

This is a gift for adults. Use it indoors after skiing or riding, never on the slopes, on a chairlift or while driving. Start on the lowest speed, keep each area to 1 to 2 minutes and keep the head moving. Do not use it on the head, the front of the neck, the spine, bones, joints, or on broken, bruised, windburned or numb skin. If you have a medical condition or an injury, talk to your doctor before using a massage gun. Stop if anything feels uncomfortable.
