It's been a fairly warm winter across much of the United States. However, I for one woke up to a foot of snow on the ground this morning. And while the freezing conditions may be diminishing in many areas, the skiing and snowboarding season is still going strong. So is the cozy online shopping season, of course.

Are you hitting the slopes any time soon? Just looking to get a jump on next year's cold-weather wardrobe? I've tracked down some extremely hot outerwear deals and winter closeouts on ski and snowboard gear:
