The Fortnite Battle Royale Item Shop is offering a treat today! Players can pick up the Winter Ski set with Alpine Ace and Mogul Master outfits. Combined with the Ski Boot harvesting tool you'll be ready to face Apollo island mountains!
Also on offer are the Swift Rare-quality skin, and both the Lucky Axes and Ratty for that Chinese folklore vibe.

General Information
The Item Shop in Fortnite Battle Royale is refreshed daily, and offers new cosmetic items for use in the game.
These purchases are strictly decorative, and do not offer any advantage in game.
There are four types of items in the shop:
- Skins that change the appearance of the character you control.
- Gliders that change the appearance of the parachute you use to descend onto the island,
- Harvesting equipment that changes the appearance of the pickaxe your character uses to destroy objects on the map and collect resources.
- Emotes are animations that your character can perform on command.
- Animations can consist of a simple wave, acrobatics or dances.
- Each animation has its own sound effects, and almost all the dances are accompanied by a melody of their own.
The shop is divided into two parts: the Featured Items section, which contains items that are generally more rare, more expensive and typically remain available in the shop for forty-eight hours.
The second is Daily Items. and always contains two skins, two emotes, a glider and a pickaxe. Items in this category are less rare and less expensive, and only remain available in the shop for 24 hours.
An official tweet from Fortnite enlightens us on the inactivity of the battle royale's competitive scene during the beginning of Chapter 2 Season 2.
