We have had our ear to the ground of those in the know and have put together a nicely styled list to ensure that wherever you venture next season and regardless of technical ability you will be up there when it comes to the fashions stakes!

There are three main themes to the 2011 ski trends:

  1. Technical geek meets style icon – Yes, 2011 sees this partnership as a match made in piste side heaven with a big emphasis on clothing being high in technical ability aswell as style. No longer does one have to miss out to the other with season 2011 seeing a higher emphasis on both the technical ability of the gear as well as the combination of great colours and style

  1. Going green – Now you can express not only your skills but eco conscience on the slopes with a big trend for next season being gear that is sustainable. Therefore, all you eco warriors out there be sure to check out the new ranges for 2011 that use Recycled materials, blue-sign certified textiles, and natural, eco-friendly resources.

  1. Extra Power and Protection in the Powder – Season 2011 sees a number of manufacturers offering ranges designed specifically for powder days! The collections see gear made from high-tech membranes which control the wearers body temperature, the jackets design has a slightly longer cut providing more room and protection with zip in pants and jackets to ensure less chance of powder wet bums and thermals!

With regards to the colour palette for season 2011, there is definitely a theme of there being something for everyone! There has been a star burst of new colours, styles and detailing to ensure that there is something to suit the rainbow of personalities and characters found within the snowboard and ski world.
