Skida began with a sewing machine and a love for skiing in Vermont. We’ve grown a lot since our founder, Corinne, started making hats for her nordic skiing teammates at Burke Mountain Academy, but through it all, we’ve remained committed to local, small-scale production of our original Alpine and Nordic product styles.

Our core Vermont Collection has been manufactured in our home state from the start. And while Corinne's sewing machine can no longer keep pace with the growing demand for hats, headbands, and neck gaiters, the network of local sewists can.

Vermont’s rural character and strong sense of community have nurtured a rich tradition of cottage industry in the state.

We prioritize working with our U.S.-based production network. As we expand our product line and introduce more advanced technical features, we have selectively produced some products outside the U.S. to meet Skida’s high standards.

We’re proud to have developed our assortment to support your needs and favorite activities. In doing so, we’ve expanded our production network to ensure we maintain the best balance of quality, performance, and price.

97% of our product is made in the U.S. and we are proud to continue producing 48% of that right here in Vermont. Only 3% of our manufacturing is overseas, including our Made in Nepal Cashmere Collection that works with family-owned mills.
