For the adventurous women hitting the slopes in 2024, here's a roundup of my favorite women's ski wear that seamlessly combines performance, comfort, and, of course, style:
Head KORE Jacket: Built for the demands of free-ride skiing, this ski jacket is waterproof and breathable with a sporty, slightly loose and comfortable fit. I abslutely love this deep green color!
TREW Unisex Popover Jacket: My favorite piece of the 2024 winter season! Pop on the Popover Jacket once, and you might never opt for a center zip again! I am so excited and so in love with this pullover. I love the bright orange exterior color with the yellow accents and zippers! I feel like sunshine on the cloudy days and my friends can easily find me on the mountain. I also love the side zipper. This makes it easy to take on and off and I can unzip for more ventilation or while sitting on the lift. Swipe to see the epic logo placement on the backside!
