Snow Skiing Checklist

You no longer have to pack away your ski clothing, just take it apart and use each piece as needed. An external shell makes a great rain jacket or wind breaker, and a fleece liner jacket is perfect for those chilly winter evenings. We love the Triclimate line by The North Face - Quality ski jackets with functional separates. These can be viewed in our Snow Skiing Collection!

 DRESSING FOR SKIING

       A wicking thermal underwear transports perspiration to outer layers.  This keeps your skin dry, and half of keeping warm is keeping dry.    - Check out Hot Chilly and Under Armour Thermal Underwear

      Use a polar fleece or sweaters for Insulation. The North Face's Polartec® is hard to beat - greater warmth without the weight. We like the North Face TKA Fleeces for this layer. Turtle necks are another common option.

      A great ski shell blocks moisture and wind.  While skiing, snow will melt on your jacket – so the shell needs to repel water; however, the shell also needs to breathe.  Skiing is hard work, and even the best of us perspire.  A careful balance between “waterproof” and “breathable” makes a great ski shell (and a great windbreaker at home.) The North Face Venture Rain Jackets work well!

      Don’t forget your extremities: head, feet, and hands.  If you can keep these parts warm, your body will be warm.  We recommend waterproof gloves - If you fall, you inevitably drive snow into your gloves!  Wool socks and wicking sock liners will do wonders to keep feet warm and happy. The top of your head expells a lot of heat, and will be one of the first areas to get cold. A hat will allow you to enjoy skiing longer.  We love the Turtle Fur products!
