The ridge run is treasured by skiers for the incredible views it affords, but it is often extra chilly as the wind crests the mountain top. An ear warmer and cowl are the perfect accessories to keep the chill at bay. Short rows combined with tuck ridges in a contrasting color create interest while emphasizing the flow of the fabric. Not a skier? Knit them in your favorite team colors to show your support while staying warm in the stadium.
