Obermeyer Performance outerwear designed and tested in Aspen, Colorado.

There's a moment every year when you open the door and the season's finally here. Hanging Valley is made for that stretch of fall and early winter when you're headed to the hill one day and running errands in town the next. It has ski-ready features, room for everything you carry, and the Obermeyer quality that lasts for years. It's the jacket that doesn't leave the front hook.

When does the first snow usually show up where you live?

The 90s are having a moment. We never left. Head-to-toe color, patchwork mittens, orange boots that showed up in every single photo, and cold air that made you lean a little closer to whoever was sitting next to you on the chairlift.

This is what a good day on the mountain feels like, no matter the year.

What's your version of this memory?

Fall into something warmer 🍂

The Willow Down Shirt is the piece we keep reaching for this time of year, not quite a shirt, not quite a jacket, just enough insulation (550 fill power Allied Feather & Down) to get through a cold morning without overheating by noon. Snap front, easy to throw over a tee now, easy to layer under something heavier once the real cold shows up.

It's the kind of piece that ends up doing more work than you'd expect from something this light.

What's the one piece in your closet that pulls double duty all season, the thing you didn't realize you needed until you actually needed it?

There's a specific kind of gold that shows up around Aspen this time of year, and every local knows exactly what it means. The leaves turn, the lifts get their fall inspection, and somewhere a lift op is already digging out last season's beanie.

Happy first day of fall. What's the first sign for you that ski season's close?

He's said it plenty of times over the years, in different words, but it always comes back to the same thing: the trees, the cold air, the quiet. That's the medicine. Not a gym membership, not a supplement. Just get outside and stay there a while.

It's easy to forget that's the whole foundation of this company. Not performance fabric or technical specs first. A guy who loved the mountains enough to figure out how to keep people warm on them, so more people could stay out there longer.

Who taught you to love being outside? A parent, a grandparent, a coach who wouldn't let you skip a cold practice? Tell us about them in the comments.

Nothing ruins a powder day like a bad base layer.

You know the one. Riding up under your jacket, bunching at the elbows, soaked through by the second run. It's a small thing until it's the only thing you can think about on the chairlift.

The Oly Baselayer Zip Top wicks moisture, moves with you, and skips the seams that dig in after a few hours on the hill. Flat seam construction, real stretch, none of the fuss. Built to sit under whatever you're layering over it and just do its job all day.

What's your go-to layering system on a cold day? We want your best tips.

The light does something different this time of year. Ninety-some days out from first chair and we're already replaying runs in our heads, and yeah, we know it's still September.

There's a particular kind of quiet on a dusk run. The mountain empties out, the light goes gold, and it's just you and the last few turns before the lift closes. Some of you know exactly the run we mean.

What's your last-run-of-the-day spot?

Heart says winter. Weather says fall. Sound familiar? The Tuscany lite was built for exactly that in-between stretch, when you're ready for the mountain before the mountain's ready for you. Ski-ready details when the first storm rolls in, everyday comfort and storage for the weeks before that. Built the way Obermeyer builds everything: to actually earn its spot in your closet.

What's your go-to jacket for the fall-to-winter switch over?

Klaus has never needed a metaphor. He just talks about skiing, and somehow it comes out sounding like the whole plan for a life.

Aim at the mountain you mean to hit, not the one next to it, and you'll get there. That's the short version of what he told us when we asked if he ever doubted himself starting out.

His full answer: "You always get to where you aim to." He was talking about 1947, working out skis and poles and clothing that didn't exist yet, whenever he wasn't in a class or teaching. No hesitation, no what was I thinking. Just the aim, and the work.

Almost eighty years later, he's still out there, and the math hasn't changed.

What's the best piece of advice a parent or mentor ever gave you, the kind that ended up mattering for more than they meant it to?

Long before Aspen, Klaus was already living this. Somewhere in the Bavarian Alps, sometime in the 1930s or 40s: no lift line, no trail map, just skis, a rope, an ice axe, and enough wool and leather to get through whatever the day handed him.

There was no company yet. No Obermeyer. Just a young man who already understood something that would end up mattering for the next eighty years: the gear has to actually work, because nobody's coming to get you if it doesn't.

That's the same idea behind Off Grid Layering today. Different fabrics, same math.

Anyone else grow up hearing stories like this, from a parent or grandparent who skied before it looked anything like it does now? We'd love to hear them.
