Looks for the mountain, in every season.
Technical gear that does its job, paired with pieces that last. Every look is built around one piece worth the money, and the fiber is always named.
Who
Picked by Shannon.
A lifetime on the coast and in the mountains around the world, from sailing to skiing.
Where
Vermont first.
Every ski area from Stratton through the Mad River Valley and Stowe up to Jay, Nordic centers included, and the independent shops in the towns nearby. New England next.
Why
So you never look like a tourist.
Everyone worries about it. Nobody says it. The mountain has rules and so does the room after. Both can be learned.
