Skida sells colorful, patterned headwear, neckwear, and apparel. Founded in 2008, owner Corinne Prevot began by making colorful hats for her ski teammates in Vermont. The demand for her hats quickly spread beyond Vermont, and Corinne expanded her product range. Now, Corinne and the Skida team are committed to the uniqueness of Skida and encouraging happiness and inclusiveness within the ski community.

Since 2014, Coalition Snow owners Jen Gurecki and Lauren Bello Okerman have dedicated themselves to creating an inclusive brand that denies the status quo. They sell performance-driven skis and snowboards, vibrant apparel, and unique artwork. An important aspect of their brand is that for every ski or snowboard sold, trees are planted in Taita-Taveta County in Kenya, supporting the agriculture and economy of the area.
