When skiing or snowboarding, it is important to dress in layers to keep warm and dry. Here are some general guidelines for what to wear:

  1. Base layer: This layer should be moisture-wicking and breathable, as it is closest to your skin. Choose materials such as merino wool, synthetic blends or silk. Avoid cotton as it absorbs moisture and can make you feel cold and damp.
  2. Mid-layer: This layer should provide insulation and warmth. A fleece or down jacket can work well as a mid-layer.
  3. Outer layer: This layer should be waterproof and windproof to protect you from the elements. A ski jacket and pants made of waterproof and breathable materials such as Gore-Tex are a good choice.
  4. Accessories: Don’t forget to bring gloves or mittens, a hat, goggles or sunglasses, and a neck warmer or scarf to protect your face from the cold and wind.

It is also important to wear appropriate socks and boots. Choose ski or snowboard boots that fit well and are comfortable to wear all day. Avoid wearing multiple socks as it can lead to discomfort and poor circulation.

By dressing in layers and wearing appropriate gear, you can stay warm and comfortable while enjoying your time on the slopes.
