Reviving Mountain Culture with Purpose
The heart of Colorado's outdoor community beats firmly in the collaboration between the National Ski Patrol (NSP) and local lifestyle brand YoColorado, leading to an exciting new winter apparel collection that marries style with significant purpose. Launched on January 24, the Winter 2026 Collection is more than just warm gear; it's a commitment to safety, education, and supporting the heroic individuals who safeguard our mountain experiences.
A Higher Purpose: Dress to Support
Under the theme "A Higher Purpose," this co-branded collection features a variety of stylish yet functional pieces designed for outdoor enthusiasts and everyday wear alike. With 20% of every purchase dedicated to funding ski patrol education and training, this partnership celebrates not only the love of mountain culture but also the vital role patrollers play in keeping our outdoor adventures safe.
Stephanie Cox, CEO of the National Ski Patrol, highlighted the impact of each purchase, stating, "This partnership reflects what the outdoor community does best – showing up for one another with purpose and passion." With over 30,000 ski patrollers in the U.S., the need for quality training and resources has never been greater, and this initiative directly contributes to their ongoing education.
Stylish Gear for Every Adventure
The collection is a blend of the vintage mountain aesthetic YoColorado is known for, infused with retro designs that resonate with outdoor lovers. Items include custom fleece jackets, comfortable flannels, trendy vests, and chic headwear. Notably, the collection features three graphic designs that honor the real-life heroes of the mountains—ski patrol members and rescue dogs who work tirelessly to ensure safety on the slopes.
For instance, the graphic Blizz the Pawtrol Dog pays tribute to canine companions that assist patrollers, while Heroes of the High Country celebrates specific individuals in the patrolling community. This intersection of fashion and homage offers a unique opportunity for wearers to participate in a cause bigger than themselves.
Community Impact and Building Connections
The collaboration between NSP and YoColorado signifies more than just a product line—it is a moment for the community to rally around those who prioritize safety in the mountains. By purchasing from the Winter 2026 Collection, every consumer becomes a part of this ongoing commitment to keeping mountain experiences secure and enjoyable.
Brad Miller, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of YoColorado, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership and its potential impact, stating, "Working with the National Ski Patrol has been an incredible opportunity to turn our love of mountain culture into real impact." Such partnerships not only resonate with local culture but also strengthen the community's ethos of looking out for one another.
