Snowsport: A UX-First Refresh
A UX-first Shopify rebuild for Snowsport, built for smarter product discovery and peak performance.
Snowsport partnered with Moustache Republic to elevate their digital presence and better reflect their standing as a premium alpine destination.

With a wide range of technical products, sizing variations and seasonal collections across multiple brands, Snowsport needed a website that could do more than just sell jackets. The new site creates an education-first shopping experience where alpine-specific needs like warmth, waterproofing, fit and layering are simplified into intuitive flows. From in-depth product filtering to dynamic size guidance and contextual destination edits, every element is designed to build customer confidence and drive conversion.
The modular theme architecture ensures content and commerce can evolve with minimal effort, while backend systems like Cin7, Kiwi Sizing, and Klaviyo work together to deliver a unified, scalable and performance-driven ecosystem.
