Claim to Fame: Since we began making hats in 2008, our signature line of colorful hats, headbands, and neckwear has been sewn right here in Vermont. The seamstresses who sew our products work in the Northeast Kingdom, a rural area with a rich history in garment manufacturing. Supporting this cottage industry inspires a unique connection to the area and is just one element of Skida's contribution to the community. 

The Culture

The best thing about working at skida is:

Working with such a passionate, collaborative, team-oriented clan who really love what we do. Oh, and the human to dog ratio.

When we’re not working, we’re:

Outside! Our team loves to get outside whether it be skiing, hiking, biking, gardening, walking the dogs, or just enjoying the beauty our little state of VT has to offer. 

What we’re reading:

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Culture Code by Daniel Coyle

What we’re listening to:

Lianne La Havas, How I Built This, Miles Davis, John Prine, Donovan

If they made a movie about our workplace, it would be called:

Hats! the Musical 

Inclusion in the outdoors matters because:

We are all part of one interconnected natural world and everyone should have the ability to access, feel connected to, and feel safe in, our shared home.  We feel strongly about showcasing diverse representation in the outdoors.  

Five years down the line, it’s our hope that:

Our joy-providing products will continue to inspire adventures for folx of all ages and backgrounds, encouraging memorable moments in the outdoor world.
