Alex and I had the most wonderful time honing our skiing and snowboarding skills at The Little Nell with Elegant Resorts in Aspen a few weeks ago, so much so that I was inspired to book a couples ski trip as our first trip of 2019. I should preface this style post by saying that I am by no means an expert skier, infact I would probably call myself a confident beginner, but every time I get the opportunity to do another run I feel my expertise building a little.

One thing however I do adore about the slopes, is just how incredible you feel both skiing and simply taking in the view before you take the plunge to start your run. There's nothing quite like the vastness of somewhere like Aspen or St. Moritz to bring a little quiet perspective into your life and the immaculate stillness from the top of a run is one you would have a hard time putting down into words.

And of course it wouldn't be a trip to an amazing ski resort for me, without the enjoyment of what I'll be wearing both on and off the slopes. From the much needed accessories, to the super cosy layers, to embracing the wonderfully retro fashion, your ski style is almost as important as your skis.
