What do you wear when skiing

Sun, 20 Mar 2011 23:19:13 GMT

I hardly ever wear goggles, the same with a hat, although I usually have them with me

I wear water resistant jogging bottoms, underneath my jacket i have just a shirt, (no thermals) and have discarded my jacket and skied in just my shirt on occasions.

I have seen a couple of guys skiing in their skirts, OK they were Scots so guess they are allowed and on You Tube seen clips of people skiing in swimwear.

Heard rumours of a nudist ski resort in Austria, but never actually located it.

So kind of curious what is your normal ski wear and what is the minimum you have worn or seen being worn.

I seen two naked girls on snowboards in Poland being filmed

You might be surprised to hear that I wear salopettes and a jacket?
Depending on where we go, what time of year, and the weather, I will always wear a base layer and a mscrofleece (lose the fleece if its warm) and my outer shell jacket. If its really cold, I might put a softshell under the outer jacket.
I used to wear glasses all the time, but prefer goggles now, and its against the law to wear goggles without a bobble hat, so the hat is on at all times!
Mind you, if its proper sunny warm weather, I leave the hat and goggles off for much of the day and just ski in sunnies, but have the goggles handy for the ski off at the end of the day when you find yourself in and out of the shade - tres important!

Base layer, fleece and jacket. Though now I've got a shell and won't need a jacket, except for really cold days. Pants obviously. Suncream. Lip balm. Goggles or sunglasses. Helmet and back grinder.
