ALASKA STORY :
Several years ago I was attending Guide training in Alaska with Chugach
Powder Guides. I was the only woman with a group of hardy, tobacco
chewing, ski patrollers and heli-ski guides. After a morning of class room
work we headed out on the hill for hands on training. It was pouring rain
at the bottom of the mountain and snowing slush at the top. I showed up in
a beautiful Nils 2 piece, matching outfit. The guys almost lost it they
were laughing so hard at me. They thought there was no way I could look
that good and stay dry. At the end of the session they all went in to dry
off, I stayed out and skied because I was dry. Who says you can’t look
good and get the job done. |

TESTIMONIALS:
On Features
"I love all the features that come with my Nils skiwear. Lots of
pockets in places that don’t make me look fat and over stuffed like the
cargo pocket in the pants and the sleeve pockets in the jackets. The hoods
work perfectly and can be zipped off on warm spring days. The soft fleece
on the inside of my collar keeps my chin from getting chapped and just the
right amount of insulation keeps me warm without being bulky.
The designers at Nils are always open to my ideas on how to make the
product work better. With over 200 days a year on the slopes, skiing all
kinds of conditions I demand a lot from my skiwear. At Nils they want to
make the best product they can at a price we can afford. That's why I've
been skiing in Nils clothing exclusively for over 10 years."
On Comfort
"With so many different collections and several styles in each
it's easy to find a design that works for my body type. From technical to
high ski fashion I’m always comfortable. I don't like tight ski clothing
but I still want a nice silhouette and a flattering look. Nils makes
clothing that accommodates different body types. I can’t ski all day if
I’m not warm, dry and comfortable. Nils takes care of all me needs from
the base layer out."
On Function
"I love the fact that I'm warm, dry and comfortable in Nils clothing.
You don't have to be in stiff fabric to be dry and Nils is breathable so I don't get hot.
Nils has the best pockets, zips, hoods, and collars. I can take my cell phone, notepad,
camera, two way radio, sun screen, lip balm, trail map and money and still have great
shape in my jackets. When I’m on the hill I'm working so I need to be prepared for
everything. Nils does a great job of providing pockets for my gear without taking away
the beautiful lines in the clothing. I also love the fleece in the cuffs and collars.
The hood construction is great for the ever changing weather."
On Pants
"I also really like the pants. People ask me all the time if I'm wearing ski
pants. I ski year round and demand a lot from my ski clothing. I have pants that I washed
20 times last year and they are still waterproof. The lines are clean and slimming. I'm
never in a rush to change out of my ski clothing because my Nils clothing is as comfortable
and stylie as my street cloths."
On Layering
"In Nils I'm dressed from the bottom layer out to perfection. I use to wear
so many more layers. But with Nils Body Zone I'm really warm without all the bulky under
layers. I like that everything is coordinated in style and color. And everything can be
worn on and off the hill. Nils underwear and sweaters are so beautiful you look sexy when
you peel off your jackets at the end of the day."
Lastly...
"The mountains are my office. For me there is not a better ski clothing company
out there. I look good and I'm not making any compromises in warmth, function and comfort." |
