During an average ski day you partake in a ton of different events.

You get out of your hot house, to a cold car.

Your car warms up, then you get out of it at a cold mountain covered in snow.

Your heart rate increases, you get warmer.

Then you get on the chairlift again sitting there and your heart slows down and you cool off.

The cycle continues for your whole ski day.

The only way to stay comfortable is to layer up.

Here is how I (and lots of other people who know whats up) do it.

Typically i wear a lycra spandex on my top and polyester spandex bottoms.

I have lighter base layers like a polypro or a steezy golf shirt for warmer days.

Natural fibers tend to be more comfortable (think Seinfeld and Yankees uniforms) .

There are wool thermals, fleece, down and polypropylene.

Depending on my activity for the day i must choose what layers I will need.

I wear gym shorts on my legs, I find that does the trick.

OUTSIDE LAYER: Waterproof, windproof, breathable.
