SKEA is popular for its fashion outerwear, which the company creates to unite technical function with stylish, comfortable fits specifically designed for female bodies. “Just ask our fans who wear our product on the mountain and off!” Boyer said. The SKEA location in Golden, Colorado, stands at the gate to some of the most popular ski territories where many customers try out their new gear. “Our retail partners have easy access to our showroom just off the interstate and can stop on the way to the airport or to visit other vendors in Denver, Golden and Boulder,” Boyer said. “Golden epitomizes our mountain lifestyle. We love watching the weather move in across the foothills.” The company’s current space with St. John Properties is divided in half, with one portion dedicated to warehouse and shipping, and the other half to customer service support, a design studio and a small photo studio. “We have an open office where we collaborate on design
Since 1972, the SKEA team has closely collaborated to offer unique designs for customers across the U.S. and around the world.

and provide phone support and customer service,” Boyer said. “Our showroom is also in our collaborative space. We work with retail partners to set up display and marketing ideas right in the middle of everything!” St. John Properties worked with SKEA to add a firewall, water fountain, sink, bathroom and handicap access. “We try to keep our costs as low as possible by keeping our plan simple and open,” Boyer said. “We like clean white walls and neutral gray flooring …. Our product provides the interest and color at SKEA! We love the natural light provided by skylights in our warehouse area. We also loved our north-facing large windows.” The location being so close to the mountains, the clean, open space that lets products take center stage, and the positive atmosphere and natural light are the reasons SKEA first chose St. John Properties, but St. John Properties’ responsive, professional property management approach is what makes SKEA stay.
