Amazing but true!spring is also a ski season!The snow is good, the days are longer and the temperatures increase. And to adapt the best to this change of temperature, our advice on the ideal outfit in spring will be very useful to you.
To avoid the « sauna » effect of your ski oufit, we've already mentioned the 3-layer system:
LAYER 1: THE SKI BASELAYER
A first layer "second skin" breathable.
LAYER 2: THE SKI JUMPER
A second layer provides warmth and also breathability.
LAYER 3: THE SKI JACKET
A waterproof and breathable third layer to protect you from outdoor conditions.
Warmer temperatures don't mean warmth, so don't forget to cover up in the spring. The mornings are very cool but the afternoons can be relatively mild, so you will need to find the balance to feel comfortable all day long.
The simplest advice: keep a three-layer system but with lighter materials.
Both the first and second layers come in different thicknesses or materials, which will be more or less warm. And for the third layer, swap your down or padded jacket for a simple, unlined jacket that will simply protect you from the high altitude wind or showers, frequent at this time.
The gloves are also thinner and cooler for this season, and the helmet liner as well as the ear pads can be removed.So comfort gained to enjoy those magnificent spring skiing days!
Open the air vents!
On your pants, your jacket and even your helmet, as soon as the temperature starts to rise, do not hesitate to take advantage of these openings as they not only provide freshness they also help to evacuate moisture.
A last piece of advice and not the least: in spring, in the mountains, be careful of the sun! With a good total sunblock in your pocket and especially on your face, you are at your best to hit the slopes and enjoy the terraces with those magnificent panoramas.Ready to go?
