Stocking Stuffers

1. Ski ties. Gotta have 'em
2. kick waxing cork
3. inexpensive watch with stopwatch feature
4. wool socks
5. another pair of ski gloves
6. sunglasses. polarized are good. I like the photochromic ones that change tint based on light level (in the woods or in a field)
7. chapstick
8. water bottle holder
9. sunscreen
10. wind briefs*

* what are wind briefs? Wind briefs are men's underpants with a wind proof front panel to keep the body parts within from freezing. For those unfamiliar with the science, a body loses heat at a rate relative to its surface area to volume ratio. Smaller bodies have bigger surface area to volume ratios. So the surface area relative to volume of a pea is huge compared to say, the earth. A pea, then loses heat very quickly while the earth is relatively stunning at maintaining heat. Body parts with high surface area to volume ratios include fingers, toes, and the male member. You've probably experienced frost nip regardless of your sex. Believe me, penis-nip is far-far worse. Do your son a favor and throw some wind briefs in his stocking. This is also a good reason why males should wear tights. Tights keep everything tight against a warm body.
