   • Fitness attire appropriate for cold weather

C. When skiing:

1.  Dress in light layers.

   • Start with a sweat-wicking base-layer (a polypro or similar base layer of long underwear)

   • Depending on the temperature, wear a long-sleeve top and perhaps add second light long sleeve or turtle neck type shirt.

     • You may need a synthetic or merino wool neck gaiter/buff.

2.  Somewhat water-resistant pants (not snow pants).

3.  A jacket that is wind blocking, but not bulky. 

4.  Wool, SmartWool or any off-brand cold weather performance (Merino) or polypro socks that are long enough to go cover legs above the top of ski boot. 

5.  Synthetic skull cap or headband, or if need to stay warmer, use light to moderate weight beanie hat.

6.  Ski gloves – mitten, glove, or lobster glove styles, that will fit in the loops.

For races, coach will hand out early in the season a racing suit to wear (over the other layers).
