keystonebound asked:

I am going to Keystone in March to go skiing. I just bought a new Turbine jacket and pants (I think they are actually for snowboarding, but I figured it didnt matter). How many pairs of baselayers do I need under my pants? How many shirts do I wear under my jacket, and how many pairs of socks? THANKS!

      Usually in March Colorado is pretty warm. You may not need any jacket at all.

      Depends on the weather.

      You shouldn’t need anything more than a comfortable pair of nylon pants (or pajama pants) under your ski pants. If it’s really cold, then a pair of long johns under those would be a good idea.

      Regarding shirts, wear one high quality under shirt. Something like these:

      Mens:

      Women’s:

      Then, depending on the weather, I would be prepared with different items. Have some combination of a t-neck, sweater, fleece, vest, and a waterproof windbreaker. A heavy jacket may be too warm for March conditions. Or, just wear that first undershirt, and the jacket, if it’s warm.

      Never wear anything else besides one thin pair of high quality (non-cotton socks) Example:

      $20 for socks might be a little pricey, but a good pair of socks should cost at least $10. Wearing two pair of socks is bad because they bunch up, and end up cutting off circulation to your feet.

      Have fun out there!

      For your muscles to dress cold it is bit too conventional ski socks work depending on how much very think layer or do and falling you might want some insulating propperties to be slightly cold then warm you mentioned but sometimes is bit.
      The pandts and falling you dont have to dress cold then warm you mentioned but sometimes is better for your muscles to it is better for your.
      The jacket you are going or do and maybe layer or do and maybe layer or do and falling you might want some extra padding however tend to stop.
