We’re excited to announce the launch of The Inventor’s Corner, a brand-new collection of small-batch Ski Packs designed exclusively by the original inventor of The Ski Pack right here in Colorado. These limited-run styles feature fun, bright colors you won’t find anywhere else—perfect for kids, families, and anyone who loves to stand out on the mountain.  Each batch is produced in very small quantities, giving you a chance to grab something truly unique while supporting the creativity that started it all. These limited editions are created using repurposed remnant materials from our products—high-quality scraps that deserve a second life.  Instead of letting this vibrant, durable fabric go to waste, we’re transforming it into fun, bright, one-of-a-kind Ski Packs. Small batch. Colorado designed. Youth Inventor-approved.Welcome to The Inventor’s Corner—where the fun begins!

While we’re not ready to spill all the snowflakes just yet, we’ve been hard at work designing something new—something rooted in our belief that adventures shouldn’t feel complicated.  They should feel pure, joyful, and simple. The ski industry continues to evolve, and we’re proud to be part of the wave of brands rethinking how families experience mountain days.  From hands-free hauling of equipment to clever solutions invented by kid, everything we create aims to lighten your load so you can focus on the moments that matter. Stay tuned.  Something fun is coming. — The Pure Mountain Fun Team

As the days get shorter and the first signs of snow begin to dust the mountain peaks, families across the country start gearing up for ski season. Whether your family is new to skiing or you're seasoned pros, preparation is key to ensuring a smooth, safe, and fun-filled ski season. Here is a family-friendly guide to preparing for your next adventure on the slopes. Get Your Gear Ready Before you hit the mountain, it's time to dust off—or invest in—your ski gear. It is important to check that everything fits properly and is in good condition. Ski Equipment: For growing kids, ski equipment can be a major investment. Be sure that skis and snowboards are the right length and that boots are snug but comfortable. If you’re renting equipment, check the local ski shop or resort for deals on rentals. Clothing Layers: Layering is the key to staying warm and comfortable. Don’t forget waterproof gloves, socks, and neck gaiters! For kids, make sure the gear is flexible enough for easy movement and layering.  Goggles are equally important for protecting little eyes from the sun’s glare and snow. Plan for the Whole Family Ski trips can be a lot of fun, but with kids in tow, it’s important to plan ahead to ensure everyone has a good time, from the first lift ride to the last run of the day. Accommodations and Ski Passes: Many ski resorts offer family-friendly packages that include ski passes, lessons, and even childcare options. Book your accommodation early, especially during peak times, and be sure to check for discounts for families or multi-day ski passes. Plan Family Breaks: Skiing can be exhausting, especially for younger kids. Take time to recharge so you can make the most of your mountain adventure.  Quick tip, toss in a deck of cards to fill some time while resting legs and warming up in the lodge. Snacks: Build in regular breaks for hot cocoa and snacks.  It’s amazing how a special treat of a gummy bear, or favorite snack, can coax a little one to complete one more run on the slopes. Safety Comes First Safety should always be a priority when skiing as a family. A little preparation can help ensure that your family has a safe, enjoyable ski experience. Teach Safety Rules: Before you get on the slopes, review basic ski safety rules with your kids. A great resource we recommend is found on Raising Little Rippers. First Aid and Emergency Kit: Accidents happen, so be prepared. Pack a small first aid kit with bandaids, sunscreen, chapstick, and any personal medications your family might need. Prepare for the Unexpected Skiing is all about embracing the elements and having fun in the great outdoors. But as with any adventure, things don’t always go as planned. Be ready for the unpredictable by packing extras for the day, such as extra mittens, sunscreen, and snacks for the lift rides.  Wrap up So, gather your gear, hit the slopes, and enjoy making memories with your loved ones this ski season!
