Inspired by the rugged outerwear employed on the plains, the Alps & Meters Frontier Jacket will offer the Gentleman Skier a reliable go-to piece for on and off-the-mountain use, constructed from heavy waxed cotton with corduroy details, a subtle nod to the ranchers of the West. British Millerain exterior waxed cotton keeps wind and precipitation at bay. Insulated with Primaloft Silver insulation provides warmth without extra bulk along with 10k/10k windproof/waterproof membrane. This is surely the jacket he should be skiing in on piste; to arriving at apre with by night.

When we reflect on our love for skiing, we often find ourselves coming back to the title of Warren Miller’s autobiography: Freedom Found. The title speaks to the true nature of the sport: a place of carefree adventure where happiness, exhilaration, and camaraderie collide in an explosion of joy - freedom in its purest form.

The Share Winter Foundation embodies this same principle, working with local chapters all over the country to provide access to the sport for under-resourced youth all over the US. Its mission is one that we are proud to support this holiday season so that everyone has the ability to experience the freedom that skiing brings.
