W Powder 8 Pant (Pre Order)

First adopted from the high street fashions of the day, the female ski enthusiast of the late 19th and early 20th centuries wore bottoms cut from local fibers which were shaped by the tastes of the day. Often crafted of wool with minimal femininity, women at the advent and forefront of alpine sport wore such daily garb to the mountain in what was considered proper attire attune with skiing’s well-to-do sporting status. Such wardrobes continued to populate the slopes throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s when general conformity drove the social norms of alpine sport. However, such regulation was shattered in the 70’s when backlash arose at the restrictive nature of resort skiing confining the free spirit of skiing’s original mantra. Liberation became the norm in both societal and skiing terms and female skiers joined the movement by ducking ropes in search of higher elevations and untracked powder. Gone was the conservative rule-following male dominated conformity of the first 50-60 years of the 1900’s replaced by the bold, brash, and vibrant female personalities who founded powder skiing and its proper Powder 8 competition. Carving was replaced with floating and once subdued kits exploded with color and attitude reflecting the newfound joy of of snow-filled off-posted adventure.
