when I was in boston at the jiberish store I had a great conversation with Pete Drago. Eventually, we got on the topic of pretty lights, and he told me that Derek Vincint Smith had been supportive and close to Jiberish from the start, and has rocked their apparel for years. Thats one of the reasons for the collab, I dont know about direct relations to skiing other than that, but I thought i would share my 2 cents.
