WHAT TO WEAR ON THE SLOPES
Jacket
You will need an insulated jacket -– one that is windproof and water-resistant is best. If it is cold, you can add insulation to your upper body by wearing a long underwear top, turtleneck, and a sweatshirt if necessary.
Gloves & Hat
You will need a pair of insulated gloves, preferably waterproof or water-resistant. Gloves with knit cuffs provide extra warmth. “Toboggan” hats are the most common– something you can pull down over your ears if it gets really cold. If the weather is warmer, a ball cap or headband is adequate.
Face
What you wear on your face depends on the weather. If it’s cold, you’ll need goggles and a face mask; if it’s warmer (say above 30 degrees) sunglasses and sunscreen are usually enough. If the slopes are making snow when you’re skiing, goggles are better. We will keep an eye on the weather and you can check the top of the page for a weather report before we depart.

Pants
Insulated ski bibs or pants are the most commonly used clothing for your lower body. The outer shell of the garment should be water-resistant. If skiing conditions are very cold, you can add insulation with long underwear bottoms, tights, or sweatpants. Blue jeans can be worn, but they absorb water and can get uncomfortable.
Socks
One pair of medium-weight socks is all you need inside your ski boots. More than one pair can bunch up and be uncomfortable. Acrylic or wool socks are better than cotton. Smooth close-fitting socks are better than ribbed hiking socks or ill-fitting athletic socks.
