What to Wear
Dress in layers so you will be prepared for changing weather conditions. Cover your skin, even during warm, spring weather conditions.
Ideal Base Layers
- Long underwear, preferably polypropylene, polyester, or wool/polyester blend
- Avoid wearing base layers made of cotton; it retains moisture and will not keep you as warm
- A turtleneck or long sleeve shirt, then a sweater or fleece
- Ski or snowboarding socks that are thin and made of wool or polyester
Ideal Outer Layers
- Jacket and pants that are warm, water resistant and comfortable
- Gloves or mittens (mittens are warmer)
- A hat or helmet that covers your ears
- Sunglasses or goggles
Always remember to put sunscreen on all areas of exposed skin. Don’t forget your ears and neck!
