It’s that time of year again! The snow is falling, the temperatures are dropping, and the ski hills are opening up for business. If you’re anything like us, you’re getting ready to take your kids skiing. It’s endless wholesome fun, but it can be tricky kitting out a whole family.
We get asked all the time “what to wear skiing” and while there are endless combinations of brands, the basics stay the same. Base layer + insulation layer + wind/waterproof layer and then add equipment like boots and skis. Below is what we wear skiing in Fernie, BC to stay warm and safe on the ski hill.
