I normally wear thermals and salos (which are a decent thickness) but even then, it doesn’t do any good. I’ve even tried the more expensive thermals with marino wool, but to no avail.

Does anyone else have this problem and any ideas how to solve it? I thought about cycle shorts or maybe there are some even more ‘extreme’ thermals on the market that I could try? :D

Thanks

Lyn get some heavier fleece thermals for under your snow pants,they work wonderful.I dont wear wool.

ya you need some good thermals...I never ski without them under my ski pants. ) I have 3 different pairs,for different degrees of coldness.... and it can get cold here! :lol: - 28! (without the wind chill)
Never have had cold knees.

I started skiing when I was about 6 or 7. My dad and brother skied.
I still have horror memories about a bright orange ski suit my parents first bought me ha ha ha ...it was ugly!!!!!you could see me for miles. Would probably be in fashion now though :lol:

Going skiing today and it is gorgeous outside! Spring skiing!! :-)

Happy mothers day to all UK J2ski moms!

However, whilst we still have a choice, I choose not to wear one. I am sure in time to come, it will become obligatory.

I totally agree. I am caving to pressure however.

Yes... The BBC in their usual 1984 propeganda style already have a "Should Skiers be Forced to Wear Helmets?" item on the front page.

It's a personal choice and I hope it stays that way.

we are getting that here too,big time! top story on the news.

On the news tonight in Canada on all channels, every first story is about skiing and helmets. How they should be the law to have to wear one.....just like when riding motorcycles .
