Guide to Skiing


Here I would like to present a guide to skiing basically for clothing. Proper and safe skiing is must for everyone. So for that you should be properly and safely outfitted so that you are protected from internal dampness, external humidity and cold temperatures.

Packing the right combination of ski clothing is a tricky matter, but you should be covered with the following items for a one week ski trip: Fleece Tops - 3; Goggles - 1; Hat - 1; Headband - 1; Ski Gloves - 1 pair; Ski Jacket - 1; Ski Pants - 1; Ski Socks - 3 pair; Sunglasses - 1 pair; Sweaters - 3; Thermal Underwear - 2 sets.
You should dress in layers of clothes rather than wearing one thick layer of clothing and stick to the standard three-layer system, which has a base layer, an insulating layer, and a protective layer. The outer layer should be waterproof and windproof which is made of a 'breathable' material to allow perspiration to escape.

You should wear a fleece, that is warm, light-weight and dries quickly, then have a sweater of acrylic or wool and, over it all, wear either eider or goose-down ski pants or jacket to increase protection.

Gloves should be thick enough to protect your fingers and hands. In addition these must also be flexible enough to allow you to hold your ski poles comfortably, and you should have a warm fleece hat to cover your ears, as you always lose a great deal of body heat through the top of your head.

If your budget allows you to do so, you should also go for the travel insurance.
