Two great looks for the ski and snowboard season in Northern Michigan, including a complete outfit of ski clothing and ski gear, as well as one for snowboard clothing and snowboard gear.

Whether you're hitting the Northern Michigan ski resorts with two skis or one board, you'll look and perform great with these hats, jackets, goggles and gear.
Dress Like A Skier
This season, longer jackets in vibrant colors, patterned shirts and solid pants express the free-ride look, as clothing manufacturers are now designing apparel that can be worn by both the skier and snowboarder. Our model (and Traverse graphic designer Eleanor Krautmann) went shopping—here’s the ski outfit she pulled together.

Dress Like a Boarder
The 2009/2010 snowboard season is all about layers and loud colors. Designers are also moving toward stylish, fashion-influenced cuts. Bright pants, plaid shirts and layering vests show versatility that’s fun and wearable. We turned our other
