One of the first things we want to know is: "What will the weather be like during the trip?" and, consequently, "What should I wear?"
Good advice can make a vacation easier and more comfortable.
While I hope intermediate skiers have a bit more know-how regarding how to dress for the weather, I still check everything from boots to jackets for comfort—though I do this much more quickly than with beginners or near-beginners.
If it’s cold, dress warmly—nothing surprising there, you might say...
The problem with tights or leggings is that they create a double layer with your socks, making it harder to feel the boot's tongue properly.
Avoid wearing two pairs of socks; your feet need to breathe, and extra layers prevent you from feeling the boot correctly.
For your upper body, technical base layers retain heat while wicking away sweat, ensuring greater comfort.
When trying on a jacket with a sweater underneath, remember that you’ll be outdoors; you need to adjust your clothing based on your skill level...
If you’re an intermediate skier, your speed exposes you to the wind, increasing the likelihood of feeling cold, whereas beginners tend to move around more within a smaller area and are more likely to warm up quickly.
Wearing a helmet is, of course, recommended, but it doesn’t make you invulnerable... and it can sometimes muffle surrounding sounds, so you need to stay extra alert.
Sunglasses are a good choice when it’s sunny or the light is tricky, provided the temperature isn’t too low. Otherwise, opt for fair-weather goggles. Goggles with yellow or red lenses are useful for seeing terrain contours in bad weather.
A neck gaiter or Buff can be very comfortable in cold weather (and at high speeds), protecting everything from your neck up to your nose.
