What to Wear

DRESS IN LAYERS & BRING FACE PROTECTION

  • Base Layer: Wear synthetic thermals that are tight fitting for your top and bottom pieces. Tuck your top layer into your bottom layer to ensure your midsection stays warm and your shirt does not ride up.
  • Mid Layer: Fleece is a comfortable and affordable midlayer to wear. We recommend fleece pajama bottoms paired with a hoodie. This can be loose fitting.
  • Outer Layer: Snow pants and a PUFF jacket (down or synthetic) are the warmest.
  • Tight is COLD when it comes to dressing your feet and hands.
