There are a lot of businesses created out of a passion for skiing or snowboarding, small brands producing quality technical outer wear and under wear.
Here are some quality brands that will have you looking cool while staying warm and dry on the hill this winter. Brands born out of a love of the mountains and the snow, people following their passion and creating a life doing what they love. These are my favourites.
