Protect Our Winters' (POW) Alpine Ski Race Suit Highlights the Fight Against Climate Change

In February 2023, Kappa, in partnership with U.S. Ski & Snowboard and Protect Our Winters (POW) unveiled a race suit designed to elevate climate change as a priority for snowsports. The U.S. Alpine Team competed in the suits at the World Championships in Courchevel France.

Climate change is an existential threat to the future of skiing. In the 2022-23 winter alone, teams around the world have seen the devastating effects of a warming climate with canceled races due to lack of snow, tracks made entirely of machine-made snow and athletes racing in 50-degree temperatures in the middle of winter. A warming winter is one of the biggest threats as athletes and fans look at the future of snowsports.

The race suit features large chunks of icebergs sailing in the ocean, based off a satellite photograph of an expanse of ice breaking due to high temperatures. The design draws attention to the importance of taking a global view of the present-day situation.

The suit also bears a POW logo on the neck, showcasing the importance of the organization in U.S. Ski & Snowboard and Kappa’s fight against the warming climate, as well as an illustration of the POW snowflake logo on the leg.
