We’re leading off with today’s giveaway item, the Aspen ski or snowboard jacket from Nikita.

Nikita Aspen Jacket with Marble White Pine Pant: Nikita brings a rebellious style and confidence to women’s outerwear, whether on the street or on the mountain.

The longer length and slim fit flatter, while the solid color lets you rock the jacket in any situation. Faux fur on the hood is detachable. Attention to detail includes an interior hand warmer pocket at the lower back to help you stay warm, pit zips to help you cool off and the option to zip the jacket to Nikita snow pants.

Shown here in Hydro Blue, the giveaway jacket actually comes in Fired Brick (show above and at the bottom of this post).

As for the Marble Print White Pine pants, they’ve got the details you want, including leg vents, in one of the best prints of the season.

It’s a look that works well for skiing or snowboarding.

Volcom Mission Jacket with Battle Stretch Pant: With a waterproof rating of 15K, this Volcom jacket is sure to keep you dry.  The subdued pattern of roses and leaves is surprisingly feminine and subtle enough to wear anywhere. The skinny pants have a street-style look but are waterproof and made for the slopes. If you like a looser look, consider solid red or black ski pants.

Snowboard Fashion 2017-2018

While these looks aren’t exclusively  for snowboarding, the longer, boxier shapes and bold prints bring a streetwise sensibility to the mountain.

Burton X LAMB Rareview Parka with LAMB Lion Storm Pant: This is Burton Snowboard’s collaboration with style icon Gwen Stefani and her L.A.M.B. collection. Gwen is known for her eccentric fashion and it shows in her outerwear. This outfit is packed with all of the features necessary for a successful day on the slopes and the pink faux fur is bold and eye-catching, just as you would expect from Gwen Stefani.

Sub in the Burton Gloria pants in true black or faded black if you prefer less pattern.

The One Piece

Nothing neon or 90s about this look from Burton. The slim fit and utilitarian design will keep you warm whether you ride two planks or one board.

Burton One Peace Snow Suit: This one piece suit protects you from the cold winter elements but is stylish and has a modern fit so that you can have functionality without sacrificing style. This suit also has Burton’s Living Lining™ technology which uses the garment’s pores to act as automatic climate control so that you’re never too cold or too hot.

The Everyday Jacket

While many of these looks will do double duty, as comfortable for daily wear as they are riding a chairlift, it’s nice to have a streetwise winter coat. Here’s our pick for this year, from Columbia.

Columbia Barlow Pass 550 Turbodown Jacket:This waterproof, breathable jacket is a must have every day winter jacket. It’s down insulated and has Columbia’s Omni-Heat Thermal Reflective Lining. With the Barlow Pass Jacket you get the benefits of a down jacket without the “puffy” look.
