Inspired by one of the most talented skiers we’ve ever known, The Billy Poole Beanie is as bold and unique as the man himself. Each hat is a one-of-a-kind piece hand-knitted from homespun wool.

Always a member of the Discrete family . Billy brings us motivation every single day. We’re sure he’d approve.

Only 50 Discrete Billy Poole Beanies were made:

Ahh, Facebook. Doer of deeds done great, yet always toying with my tender ski bum heart. Why do you throw those little curve-balls which present a snafu of a situation to a wandering rubbertramp? You have been so kind and generous to me, casting me in that familiar bluish glow from the little pixels neatly arranged on my laptop monitor. To a weary traveler found alone in the cold, snowy night, you have helped me find lost friends only to be lost again amongst the many other trials proffered on the open Winter roads. Yet still you present me with circumstances to which I cannot comprehend; circumstances that are most unfortunate.

Due to Facebook’s privacy settings, I am finding myself incapable of leaving a comment on a photo someone posted of my good friend. So, Casey, I just wanted to say this to you: "Great job, my friend. Let’s get ready for more!"

The following is a Facebook status ‘party’ tracking the frustrations and wit of a group of such freeskiers. Enjoy!
