Crazy, an Italian performance ski touring apparel company, launched in 1989 by Valeria Colturi, a cross-country athlete, debuted its Fall 2022 line in the U.S. focused on its core “Fast and Light” philosophy.
The collection builds on Crazy’s first year in the U.S., including opening a brand store in partnership with Cripple Creek Backcountry in Carbondale, CO, last December.
“Thanks to the collaboration with our athletes, the features necessary for mountain pursuits are clear and can be incorporated into designs,” said Colturi. “These components easily translate to everyday outdoor activities enabling our line to resonate with not only core backcountry devotees but also general snowsport enthusiasts looking for something unique in today’s crowded market. Crazy features best-in-class technology with a fun, bold, colorful approach that you don’t normally see in snowsports apparel. We use materials that limit bulk while enabling freedom of movement and supporting maximum comfort. The colors and patterns are inspired by Italian fashion, and the atypical prints complete Crazy’s signature style,” continued Colture.
