Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Whether you’re returning to your favourite Alpine resort, venturing onto new snowy pastures for 2023 or hitting the slopes this season for the very first time, a good set of ski gear is a must.
But calculate outerwear, flights, accommodation, lift pass and one too many apres ski parties once you’re out there, and your ski holiday can add up to a costly affair.
Thankfully, Aldi is here to ease some of the load with its new range of affordable ski gear. More than 70 per cent cheaper than most ski wear on the market, the essentials start from just £6.99. Better still, it is kitting out the entire family with kids’, men’s and women’s styles.
From adult ski jackets, trousers, gloves and balaclavas to children’s helmets and hats, the budget supermarket’s slope-ready range is just as affordable as it is stylish.
Currently available to buy from Aldi’s coveted Specialbuys section, sizes are selling out fast. Here, we’ve rounded up the best of the supermarket’s ski gear to tick off your winter escape checklist.
