For your ski lesson, dress in layers to stay warm, dry, and comfortable. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add an insulating middle layer like fleece, and finish with a waterproof, breathable jacket and snow pants. Don’t forget essentials like gloves, a hat or helmet, goggles or sunglasses, and a single pair of wool or synthetic socks. Adjust layers as needed for warmth, and remember that protecting your hands, head, and eyes is just as important as staying dry.
