Kids Ski Wear

What should kids wear skiing?

When kids go skiing, it's important for them to stay warm, dry, and protected. Here’s a comprehensive list of what kids should wear:

1. Base Layers:
Thermal Top and Bottoms: Moisture-wicking and breathable materials like merino wool or synthetic fabrics to keep them dry and warm.

2. Mid Layers:
Fleece Jacket or Top: Insulating layer to retain body heat.

3. Outer Layers:
Ski Jacket: Waterproof and windproof with good insulation.
Ski Pants: Waterproof and insulated to keep legs warm and dry.

4. Ski Accessories:
Ski Gloves or Mittens: Waterproof and insulated to keep hands warm.
Ski Socks: High-quality, moisture-wicking socks to keep feet dry and warm. Avoid cotton.
Neck Warmer or Balaclava: Protects neck and face from wind and cold.
Ski Helmet: Properly fitted and certified for skiing to protect the head.
Ski Goggles: UV-protected and anti-fog to protect eyes from snow glare and improve visibility.

5. Snow Boots
In and around the resort you will need waterproof boots with good traction on icy areas.

6. Additional Items:
Hat or Beanie: Worn under the helmet if extra warmth is needed.
Sunscreen and Lip Balm: To protect skin from sunburn and chapping.
Hand Warmers: Optional but useful for extra cold days.

Proper layering and choosing the right materials are key to keeping children comfortable and safe while skiing.
