The Story
It was a frigid and snowy day in March 1938, when the race course for the National Slalom was devised on Mount Mansfield, Vermont USA. Taking stock of barren temperatures, 50 mile per hour winds, and limited visibility, Charles “Minnie” Dole, veteran of the storied 10th Mountain Division and organizer of the race at hand, came to recognize that matters of precaution and safety would be required to ensure that the day’s event did not end in injury for participants and spectators alike. Discussing matters with fellow race organizer, Roger Langley, at the top of the famed Nose Dive Trail the gentlemen conceived of the National Ski Patrol on the spot and thus forged a bond between racing and patrolling that has stood for almost 100 years.
In celebration of lives dedicated to mountain service & safety, the Alps & Meters Ski Race Knit Patrol sweater proudly displays the National Ski Patrol's iconic uniform patrol cross packaged in a robust knitwear garment honoring the tradition & legacy of patrolmen worldwide.

Emblazoned with the classic Patrol Cross, the Ski Race Knit "Patrol" honors the unique bond and legacy shared by patrollers and racers.
Forged Performance

Cut in a handsome crew neck silhouette and knitted from 100% lambswool this durable sweater is a performance piece inspired by the rugged Ski Patrollers of the past.

Very nice sweater
I took a chance on this sweater, as I am 6'7" I ordered the L, and it fits well. The arms are long enough for me (I need a 37-38 in dress shirts). My only niggle is I wish the body was a little longer. It is very warm, looks nice, and seems very well made.

Form fitting, sharp sweater.
6'4, 195lbs, bought Large.
Well made, heavy but tightly knit jumper. I love the styling including the elbow detail. Definitely is form fitting so if you like loose, then size up. I find the neck a teeny bit tight but it is loosening up. Sleeves are tight fitting for skiing, almost like a ski racing sweater, so they would easily go inside a jacket.
With dark wool and the white cross, there are areas around the joins from the sleeves to the torso of the sweater where bits of the white wool peek through. It isn't bad and I get nothing but compliments on the jumper. Love the design aesthetic of all the A&M gear but wish was possible to try on in person given the form fitting style.
