There is a quit group in every mountain town. They move through life under the cover of snow, rock, forest and river. They know all the best ski lines, climbing spot, trail runs and what the special beer is on tap each week at the local brew pub. They explore the backcountry under a veil of secrecy, keeping the private stashes private and sharing hard won experience only amongst themselves.

Becoming a member isn’t any formal situation. There are no initiation rights or secret handshakes. You either have it or you don’t – and in the big mountains this becomes obvious in a hurry. These are the people in mountain towns who are referred to as “the skids” - at Cloudveil, we call them inspiration.

It is from this mountain culture that Cloudveil evolved and still thrives. We know that if our clothes pass the muster with them, they’ll pass the test with anyone. From our home base in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, we strive each and every day to exceed their jaded expectations.

Most of us at Cloudveil have moved on from the physical living on “skid” row. We still visit at times, poaching a fresh new ski lie or working out a technical problem on a first ascent with old friends. We take these experiences in the mountains and convey that same element of risk, desire and adventure into the challenge of building the best outdoor apparel money can buy.
