Skiing guide


You should wear only one pair of socks at a time. Wearing more socks can reduce the blood circulation to your feet and makes them colder. Also avoid blisters by wearing thick ones made of stretchable material. When it comes to underwear, you should choose wool thermals for more protection and warm.

The features of your sunglasses should provide 100% ultra-violet (UV) protection to you. Also your glasses should be shatterproof and should wrap around your head and ears securely. You may wear goggles with your sunglasses whenever you are skiing in snow or rain.

If your budget allows you to do so, you should purchase brand-name ski apparel with better quality and longer-lasting clothing and accessories.
