The Gift for the Skier Who Has Everything
Shopping for the skier who has everything? The BeerSki is the funny, genuinely useful gift they do not have yet: a ski pole beer holder that straps a can to the pole just below the grip, so their beer rides along on display instead of getting dented, shaken, or exploded in a pocket. It is the stocking stuffer, the Secret Santa win, and the ski-trip gift they will actually use every weekend.
BeerSki Original is $10. BeerSki PRO is $22. US orders over $45 ship free, and quantity savings apply automatically in the cart.

The Chairlift “What Is That?!” Moment
It happens on every lift. A stranger spots the can riding on your pole and asks, “What is that?!” That is the gift working: an instant conversation starter, a group-photo prop, and the running joke of the ski trip, all in one.
How it works
It straps to a ski pole just below the grip with dual hook-and-loop straps. No tools, no fuss. Undo the straps, slide in your can, and cinch it tight to the pole just below the handle. Loop the top strap under the grip or through your pole strap so it stays put.
- Undo the straps.
- Slide in your can.
- Cinch it to your pole just below the grip.
- Sip right off the pole — or pull it out with the sleeve still on so your hand stays off the cold can.
Pocket beers come out dented, foamy, or exploded. BeerSki puts the beer where a skier’s hand already is: on the pole, just below the grip, cinched tight with dual hook-and-loop straps.
Original vs PRO — Which Should You Gift?
BeerSki Original — $10
The OG BeerSki that started it all. Lower-profile and more packable: it collapses and folds flat into a jacket pocket when it is not in use. It is sized for the standard 12oz can, with a 12oz Tall Skinny size available too. The stocking-stuffer pick, and the lightest BeerSki we make.
BeerSki PRO — $22
The premium pick. Thicker foam insulation keeps the beer colder and more protected, with webbing-backed straps for the most secure hold — and it fits a standard 12oz can or a 16oz tallboy. For the die-hard skier who likes to party extra hard, and our pick for ski boot buckles.
Want light and packable? Get the Original. Want the most secure, most insulated hold, plus tallboy fit? Get the PRO. Either way, they’ll know you like to party!
Beer Skis are better with buds.
One for the gift, one for yourself, and a few for the crew. Most people grab one for themselves and one for the friend they are skiing with — because once one person on the lift has one, the whole crew wants one.

Gifts for Cross-Country Skiers
Cross-country skiers have poles in hand all day, so that is exactly where the beer goes. Cinch a BeerSki below the grip and bring a cold one out on the trail — whether you are skating fresh corduroy, kick-and-gliding the classic tracks, or touring hut to hut until the glühwein is ready.
Both models use hook-and-loop straps that cinch down around the pole, so they work on cross-country poles for skate or classic. Cinch it snug just below the grip. If your poles have clip-in hand straps you can’t thread through, loop the top strap around the bottom of the grip instead.
For Nordic, we recommend the Original, the lightest BeerSki we make, so your poles stay light.

“My grandpa loved this. He taught me how to ski as a kid and we go skiing every year together. We always bring some beer with us, but we have to walk back to the car usually when we take a break. He already has a flask on him at all times when we go.. So, this is perfect! Hahaha – Thank you!!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your first après-on-the-pole.
What is a BeerSki?
A ski pole beer holder. It cinches a can to your pole just below the grip, so your beer rides along on display instead of getting dented, shaken or exploded in your pocket.
Which cans fit?
The BeerSki PRO fits a standard 12oz can or a 16oz tallboy. The BeerSki Original is sized for the standard 12oz can.
PRO or Original, which should I get?
Get the Original if you want light and packable: it folds flat into your jacket pocket. Get the PRO if you want the most secure, most insulated hold, plus tallboy fit and more puncture protection.
How do I attach it, and can I drink without taking it off?
Undo both straps, slide in your can, and cinch it to your pole just below the handle. Loop the top strap around the bottom of the grip, or through your pole strap, so it stays in place. Then sip right off the pole, or pull it out with the sleeve still on so your hand stays off the cold can.
Does it work on cross-country / Nordic ski poles?
Yes. Both models use hook-and-loop straps that cinch down around the pole, so they work on cross-country poles for skate or classic. Cinch it snug just below the grip. If your poles have clip-in hand straps you can’t thread through, loop the top strap around the bottom of the grip instead. For Nordic we recommend the Original, the lightest BeerSki we make, so your poles stay light. Not sure about your setup? Email us before you order.
Can I put it on my ski boots?
Yes, it straps to your boot buckles. We recommend the PRO for boots: more padding, more protection and a more secure hold.
Does it work on a snowboard?
Yep, it’ll ride along on a binding too. But it was born for ski poles, and that’s where it looks best.
How fast do you ship?
Faster than the tram line. Every order ships from Washington State: most go out the same or next business day, and nearly always within 1–3 business days, even during the holidays. Most US orders ship USPS Ground Advantage with tracking, occasionally UPS or FedEx, and usually arrive 2–8 business days after they ship. Shipping cost is calculated at checkout.
Do you ship internationally?
Yep, for the Alps crew and everyone else. Outside the US, please order from our official Etsy shop: beerbinding.etsy.com. It’s the same product, shipped by us, and Etsy handles VAT and buyer protection. International orders typically arrive in 18–25 days, but from November to February they can take 4–6 weeks or more, and tracking often goes quiet once a package leaves the US. Import duties and taxes are paid by the recipient. Full details are in our Shipping Policy.
What’s your return policy?
We don’t accept returns or exchanges for change of mind, so if you’re torn between the PRO and the Original, email us before you order and we’ll help you pick. But we stand behind every order: if it’s lost in transit, arrives damaged, is defective or isn’t what you ordered, email beerbinding@gmail.com with your order number (and a photo for damaged or wrong items) and we’ll make it right with a replacement or a refund. If the item can be sent back, we’ll email you a prepaid return label. Full details are in our Refund Policy.
Is it a good gift?
It’s the gift for the skier who has everything. Stocking stuffer, secret Santa, birthday on the mountain: if they ski and they like a beer, they’ll use it every weekend.
Do you sell to ski shops?
We do. Ski shops, Nordic centers, lodges and après bars can carry BeerSki with a minimum 40% margin. See our Wholesale page.
