Mode Snow

Suzanne "JZ" Larson, the greatest women's outerwear model of our time, is modeling the '08 B by Burton Beecher Suit in style--previously seen only on the posh ski slopes of Aspen, St. Moritz and Chamonix. B by Burton has given shred chicks the opportunity to strut and lodge pimp, and this girl can work those curves with a supermodel strut. Aspiring to become a MILF or Cougar is encouraged, but fur accessories are not required. Available in black ( as Suzanne rocks it above ), white and olive ( as shown here on the right ), Burton's Beecher suit features Storm-lite 3.0 fabric (10000mm, 10000G) that will handle the toughest weather. ~Heidi

For the '07 season Burton introduced the Ride suit and it was an excellent first try. Minor issues such as super narrow sleeve openings and pockets too small to be useful were fixed by '08 when Burton rolled out the Beecher snow suit. However, gone was the long sleek cut and in its place a was a new 'choke me when I sit down' fit. Great for those into asphyxiation, not great for falling in pow. With B By Burton's '09 United One Piece , they have united all the good bits of each suit and nixed all the bad. Fit is dialed, the functionality is spot on and they've even thrown in some upgrades. The United suit has a convenient retractable pass pocket on the sleeve, suspenders so you can unzip and hike jacket down, and bombproof 20k/20k material to keep you warm any dry under any conditions. Available in bright white (not for chicks who ride hard or go through that muddy parking lot), marigold (you won't get out of anyone's sight on a snowy blizzard...

Woohoo! As the season nears for Northern Hemisphere resorts... we'll have on the spot trend spotting reports! Hey, YOU just might be our next star! Here is Suzanne Larson, Berkeley student and Tahoe local rocking the darn hot AG K14 --is it me or it sounds like a deadly weapon!??! Heck yeah, just check out how fun she looks in the suit! She's definitely going to stand out from the crowd... Thanks for the pose lady! Good to know that the AG K-14 guarantees you to be dry, when there is no way for the outer elements to get down your pants. Yup, Analog stopped making women specific outerwear like 2 or 3 years ago... but who says we chicks can't make this outerwear--and particularly one piece suits--look this hot?! The K-14 also features fleece lined hand warmer pockets, internal goggle and sound pocket with headphone port and mesh lined pit zips and interior thigh vents. This is the 100% guarantee for raddest and most flavorful kicker shredder on the mountain. ~Heidi

How many times have you been out riding and gotten up from a tumble only to shake snow out of your jacket, dig it out of your pants, and flick it from under your belt? It’s a story as old as time. We got snow gaiters on our jackets, and those helped, until you really went flying! Still, though, some of us always wished those one piece ski outfits would come back in style. The fashion gurus at Burton, L1TA, Roxy, DC, and Analog finally listened to our pleas, and decreed that the one piece was IN again! This year, I have my heart absolutely set on the Burton Veil suit in Lime Zebra ( shown on the left ). It’s the loudest, most out-there thing I could ever hope to ride in, and I love it! The fit is a bit shorter this year, so if you are a short girl, you’ll be in heaven. If you’re tall, order a size up for maximum flair. For a really baggy fit, L1TA one piece suits are well-suited for girls who like a lot of room to move around! Here's the L1TA Don't Cry full suit in leaf camo (...
