How to Stay Warm!

Night skiing can be chilly, but with the right preparation, you can stay warm and comfortable:

  1. Layer Smart:
    • Start with a moisture-wicking base layer.
    • Add an insulating middle layer (like fleece).
    • Finish with a waterproof and windproof outer layer.
  2. Protect Your Extremities:
    • Wear insulated gloves or mittens.
    • Use a thermal neck gaiter and a hat or helmet liner.
    • Opt for thermal socks to keep your feet toasty.
  3. Bring Hand Warmers: Compact and easy to use, they’re a lifesaver for cold fingers.
  4. Hydrate and Snack: Staying hydrated and having a small snack can help maintain your body’s energy and warmth.
