Ascent Crew

Mountains have been drawing alpinists to their peaks since the advent of proper skiing in the 19th century. Travel to such peaks, up the steep slopes, and down, often involved a multi-day excursion which included the need for hiking, use of the nordic technique, and downhill skiing prowess. These tours through mountains and villages, first completed out of necessity, have now become recreational elements of alpine sport in which skiing enthusiasts seek snow all year by traveling up and up to snowy elevations or globetrot from one hemisphere to another in search of endless winter.

Assisting such adventure is Alps & Meter’s Touring Crew. Designed for the gentleman skier on tour, this Forged Performance garment is an essential within Alps & Meters Spring Touring Kit providing maximum comfort for travel to, from, and through mountains the world over.
