Skiing with Castelli Cycling Apparel

As a dedicated cyclist, I've always been impressed by Castelli's commitment to quality and performance. But what I love even more is their versatility. For years, I've secretly been using their cycling gear on the slopes, putting it through the ringer on ski trips across the country including Sugarbush, Aspen, Alta, and Jackson Hole.

I’m here to tell you that you could get more sleep if you shimmed your rotors.
