Winter isn’t just
a season—it’s a playground. Whether you're carving up deep powder, hitting icy
trails, or just living your best après life, staying warm and dry is key. Layer
right, and you’ll own the cold. Get it wrong, and you’re in for a world of
shivers. Here’s how to dress for winter like a true mountain dweller.
Dressing for
winter is all about layers—because Mother Nature loves surprises. The right
system lets you adapt to changing temps, stay dry, and keep the adventure
going.
Your base layer
is your second skin, the foundation of your winter kit. Go for
moisture-wicking, breathable fabrics like merino wool or high-performance
synthetics. They pull sweat away so you don’t freeze from the inside out. Ditch
cotton—it’s a one-way ticket to Chillsville.
Next up:
insulation. This is what traps heat and keeps you toasty. Think fleece,
synthetic insulation, or down, depending on how cold it gets. If you’re working
hard (touring, climbing, sending it in the park), you’ll want something
breathable. For resort laps or frigid days, down brings the heat.
A bombproof shell
is your best friend in gnarly conditions. Whether it’s dumping snow or howling
wind, a waterproof, windproof jacket and pants keep the elements where they
belong—outside. Look for fully sealed seams, adjustable hoods, and plenty of
ventilation so you can dump heat when you’re charging hard.
Heat escapes fast from your head, so cover it
up. A beanie works for casual days, while a neck tube or balaclava keeps your
face warm and blocks out that icy wind.
Winter fun stops when you’re cold and wet. Make
sure all your layers work together to keep moisture out while letting sweat
escape. Pro tip: Always bring an extra layer. Weather in the mountains can turn
in an instant, and being prepared means you get to keep playing while everyone
else heads inside.
Winter is only brutal if you’re not dressed for
it. The right layering system keeps you warm, dry, and ready for anything—from
backcountry adventures to resort laps or crisp morning hikes. When you’re
geared up properly, cold weather stops being an obstacle and starts being part
of the fun. Focus on performance-driven layers, dial in the details, and
embrace every snowy adventure. Whether you're pushing limits or just soaking in
the season, the right gear makes all the difference.
Gear up, get out, and let winter know who’s
boss. The right layers mean you can chase fresh powder, conquer icy trails, or
simply enjoy the crisp mountain air without freezing. When you're dressed for
the elements, nothing holds you back.
