Dressing for mobility and warmth is the first step for an enjoyable day on the snow. The information here applies to skiing and snowboarding and other snow-related or winter outdoor activities. Staying warm and dry means dressing in multiple, lightweight layers.

 Much of what you need already is in your closet. As you improve  consult with a snow sports retailer to help you with more appropriate garments. 

 KIDS: Check out the fun Snow Monsters/Winter Feels Good "HOW TO DRESS" game.
