WinterWomen.com Giveaway
After looking at all these amazing coats, you may be thinking (as I am) that you need a bigger closet! Well, here’s an item that won’t take up much space, but looks great and will keep your fingers warm: Obermeyer Ladies Alpine Gloves.
These gloves are weatherproof, with an adjustable wrist closure to keep them locked down tight on your wrists, keeping the heat in and snow out. A leather palm helps keep the gloves dry and your hands on your poles and the fingers are contoured to more naturally grip poles. In my opinion, the gloves run slightly small.
WinterWomen.com has graciously donated one pair of Obermeyer Ladies Black Alpine Gloves in S, M or L for a giveaway.
To enter, please leave a comment. One winner will be chosen in a random drawing on October 16th.
Good luck!
Many thanks to WinterWomen.com and Jacqueline Roman for helping keep us on top of ski and snowboard fashion trends for 2013. And, an even bigger thanks for sponsoring the Obermeyer Glove Giveaway!
To facilitate this post and giveaway, I received a pair of Obermeyer Ladies Alpine Gloves to review. As always, all opinions are my own and exactly what I would tell my family and friends.
This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Lil!

Could I ever use those! I’ve never tried Obermeyer gloves but we got kids jackets a few years ago and with the I-Grow, they still fit. Big fan!
Thanks Amber! Good luck and yes, I agree with you on I-Grow! Good stuff for kids!
Hello there Brave Ski Mom!
I’ve just finished looking at your latest post on all the great ski fashions! Now I’m really getting into ski mode!
Aren’t the photos fun? Which coat do you covet?
Enjoy the winter!
Gloves look awesome. I’m always looking for good ski gloves that aren’t bulky but are still really warm.
Oh man – those are the gloves I need!!! Thanks for the recommendation!! Great post too – hmmm I am out of style! 🙂
I’m afraid we’re all out of style when the new jackets come out! But it’s fun to look! Good luck!
These are definitely not bulky! I can’t tell you how super warm they’ll be, but it you win, let me know!
My favorite design is the Salomon women’s brilliant jacket … but I have to admit that I’m a bit practical when it comes to outdoor gear … first function, then fashion for me.
I hear you! Function, especially warmth, is most important to me too! Cheers!
Wow all those jackets make my old plain red one seem boring! The gloves look nice and warm…and I need a pair without holes!
I hear you! Last year, I finally got a pair without duct tape! Good luck!
Thank you Brave Ski Mom for the chance to win some gloves! I need some for those cold days while snowshoeing in beautiful Colorado!
You bet! Thanks for commenting! Have fun snowshoeing!
Ha! Now that I see these, i realize how out of style I really am. Awesome post!
Me, too! But it is always fun to look…and less ads than paging through Vogue! Cheers!
Beautiful ski fashion post! You’ve done a brilliant job outlining the fab ski fashion trends.
Thanks Sonya! Good luck!
My strategy is to kit out myself with some updated gear before my 4yo girl needs it every year. As a former/recovering ski hill employee, my hands and feet are always cold.
Smart mom! It’s always a challenge keeping mom clothed and equipped when kids are growing fast! Good luck!
Noice!!!! Love the Spyder Moxie Jacket…very stylish..just like me! 🙂 Have been on a constant quest to find good ski gloves, so would love to give the Obermeyer brand a go. They would also go with my lovely Obermeyer Jacket and pants.
Have to agree! Love that jacket and yes, you are stylish! Look at your company: http://www.skboot.com
Good luck!
My wife would love these! Please!
No promises! Good luck! Would help with holiday shopping, yes?
I could sure use some winter gloves. These look both warm and comfy. Thanks for the chance to win!
You are most welcome! Thanks for commenting. Cheers!
Looks great! Definitely dig the North Face Freedom Print Jacket.
I know! So nice! Thanks for checking out this post!
