Who doesn’t love spring?
As much as I hate to see winter slide by, spring is a delicious season with longer days, softer snow, warmer temps and some of the best skiing and riding of the year.
Whether you’re off on a family spring break ski trip, or just enjoying this lovely season at your home mountain, here are some of the best jackets and more for springtime on-the-snow, on-the-go fashion and fun!
Let’s Start with a Giveaway
A down sweater is one of my favorite spring skiing essentials. I’ve got the Obermeyer Kassidy Down Sweater and last season, I wore it alone as a jacket on really warm days, and as a layer on colder days.
Less bulk than a standard puffy jacket, it makes a cute layer for après ski, shopping or hanging out on the beach at Lake Tahoe (for example!).
My favorite details? Unique square baffles that give the jacket a fresh look; shiny, durable fabric; and a cute feminine, tapered shape.
To win an Obermeyer Kassidy Down Sweater in white from WinterWomen.com, just leave a comment below.
For additional entries “like” both Brave Ski Mom and WinterWomen on Facebook or follow both of us on Twitter (@braveskimom and @winterwomen).
One lucky winner will be chosen on Wednesday, February 26th!
Good luck!
Best Jackets for Spring Skiing
Fun trends for spring include bright colors and soft shells and 3-in-1 jackets that let you layer up, or strip down, depending on the variable spring weather!
On Mountain:
Skiable Softshells let you layer how you want, or choose to not layer much at all, during spring’s warm days.
3-in-1 Jackets offer season-long versatility, but really shine in spring. Wear the outer shell and inner layer together on colder days, or shed the inner layer – or outer shell – on warmer days to cool dow.
Spyder Core Suite 3-in-1 Jacket:
Columbia Women’s Whirlibird Interchange 3-in-1 Jacket:
The North Face Adele Triclimate Jacket:
Off Mountain:
Insulators, like down sweaters, vests and hoodies are perfect for spring. You can layer them on mountain, and uncover them when you hit the town.
Insulators keep you warm but look great with jeans too!
Patagonia Down Sweater:
Vests offer extra insulation when you need it. Later, pair them with jeans and zip-up over a mid-layer for the perfect après look.
Burton L.A.M.B. Insulator Vest:
Sweaters and Hoodies are another layering option on mountain and off. They are especially fun for cozy evenings after a long day of skiing, even in the spring!
Columbia Pearl Evolution Hoodie:
Under Armour Wintersweet Full-Zip Hoody:

Many thanks to WinterWomen.com for providing an Obermeyer Kassidy Down Sweater for this giveaway.
I already own this product, and did not receive it in exchange for this post.
As always, all opinions are my own and are exactly what I would tell my family and friends.
Cheers!

Thanks! (I like Brave Ski mom and winter women on FB)
Thanks Michelle! You’re in twice and I agree…love the bright colors, and the bright white, too!
LOVE this white down sweater! Being a Colorado native, I love the fact that it’s an Obermeyer! Also, I am so small, that I would look like a marshmallow in anything puffier:).
That’s funny! Good luck!

I have a super cute wife that needs a super cute sweater.

It’s 40 in Minneapolis today and as much as I would love Spring to be here – I know we’ll have more chilly weather. The Obermeyer Kassidy Down Sweater would be perfect for late March in MN!
Yes, while spring is starting to appear, winter won’t go away quite so soon! Always good to be prepared for both seasons!
Wow – I love all the new styles!
Aren’t they great? And it’s fun to see suggestions for Spring skiing!
I love it! looks so cozy and comfy.

So pretty and svelte! Couldn’t ski this year due to knee problems. There’s always next year. Meanwhile this would keep me warm on the deck.
So sorry about your knee! You deserve to stay warm on the deck! Good luck!

Thank you Monica! Thanks for the follow!
Minnesota perfect!
Perfect good luck to you! Thanks!
Will love it if im to win “. thank ya’ll for the chance!
Of course and I see that you’re following on Twitter! Thanks!
I always try to pack a “cute layer for après ski.” Actually, I pretty proud of myself if I find ski socks packed in my luggage.
I’ll pass on the cute layer, since i would rather après ski in a hot tub, but I’m sure my wife would enjoy a layering option.
Any one of those jackets would have been perfect for rooting on the Broncos from the uncovered stands in New Jersey early this month. Oops. Sore subject. Sorry.
Let’s see. A lot in here. First, yes, you were in NJ and got to see the Broncos in their less than glorious state! Still, I don’t think this one would have looked good one you! Best of luck to your wife and keep an eye on your socks! Cheers!
Love the Winter White!
I know, isn’t it cute? I love the brights, but think how cute this will look with them!
