Snow Shepherd Season Proof Gloves – The La Tania connection and 40% off
Back in the day, what seems a long, long time ago there was a chalet chef working in La Tania called Brandon, he made this Guinness Cake for Charity Day that a young lad called Jake made his parents bid for… Not sure where his love for Guinness at that early age came from!
Fast forward to 2025 and Jake is now a Ski and Snowboard Instructor with La Tania ESF and a brand ambassador for Brandon’s Snow Shepherd company who manufacture innovative, leading edge, durable and sustainable ski gear.
Famous for their ski gloves that were originally inspired from the work gloves worn by our local ski patrollers, maintenance staff and lifties they now have a full range with lightweight, park, race, touring, & expedition gloves plus a range of mittens and even a three finger hybrid option.
We at latania.co.uk have used Snow Shepherd gloves since 2017 and they are certainly the most robust bit of kit we own, in fact our gloves are the oldest bit of kit we have – easily outlasting jackets, boots, skis, helmets etc that you struggle to get 3 seasons max out of.
It may feel like the wrong time to be buying new ski gear but Snow Shepherd currently have a 40% off site wide discount sale which includes the complete range of Snow Shepherd Gloves – get in quick, there’s only a few days left!
