Why We Like The Black Alder 2L GORE-TEX Snow Jacket

Trees are what make backcountry skiing interesting. They twist, blow in the wind, and fall to create exceptional features. When we are navigating skin tracks and slashing powder amongst these trees, we rely on the Quiksilver Black Alder 2L GORE-TEX Snow Jacket. This jacket keeps us protected like an old growth tree, thanks to its GORE-TEX laminate that blocks out driving snow and wind found on ridges. We can also regulate our body temperature by unzipping the underarm vents while gliding up the skin track.
