A Legacy on snow
For more than five decades, SKEA has designed luxury ski apparel for women who refuse to choose between timeless style and technical performance.
From the streets of Vail to the slopes of St. Moritz, every collection is crafted with premium materials, elegant design, and a passion for the mountain lifestyle.
SKEA has always been a family business.
Founded in 1972 by Georges and Jocelyn Boyer, SKEA grew from a lifelong love of skiing, inspired by their childhoods in France and Canada.
The name combines "SKI" and "SEA"—reflecting a lifestyle built around adventure in every season.
Long before performance fashion became the standard, SKEA believed women deserved outerwear that looked beautiful and performed beautifully.
From Fifth Avenue to the Champs-Élysées, from Vail to St. Moritz, SKEA pioneered the idea of City Ski—creating elegant outerwear designed for life both on and off the mountain.
Today, that philosophy continues through premium fabrics, timeless silhouettes, and mountain-tested performance.
Since 1995, Diane Boyer has led SKEA into its next chapter while remaining true to its founding vision.
A lifelong skier and Vail local, Diane designs for women who demand confidence, elegance, and technical performance in every adventure.
As the first female Chairperson of Snowsports Industries America (SIA), she has helped champion skiing as a lifelong pursuit of health, community, and outdoor adventure.
SKEA has always believed that feeling your best allows you to perform your best.
"We need to feel good and look good while we ski and play in the mountains. If health and wellness are the new wealth, then we who enjoy skiing must be the wealthiest and luckiest people in the world."
