Skida

Skida began as a personal project on a ski team and has since grown into a staple of Vermont's outdoor culture. Founded by Corinne Prevot in 2008 while she was still a student-athlete, the company specializes in headwear and accessories that bridge the gap between high-performance gear and expressive design. Prevot's vision was simple: create something that looks good, feels great, and supports local industry. Today, Skida continues to manufacture a significant portion of its collection in northern Vermont through a network of local seamstresses. This micro-manufacturing model allows them to remain agile and independent, avoiding the pitfalls of overproduction and the loss of quality control that comes with massive overseas manufacturing. The brand is deeply integrated into the local Burlington community and the broader New England ski scene. Their independence is not just a status—it's written into their 'Skida + [Community]' philosophy, which prioritizes partnerships with local organizations and artists over corporate scaling.
