Tips from Our Skiing Professionals

Keep your head warm

A vaste majority of people under-estimate the importance of keeping your head warm. The head, specifically the scalp, is where we loose most of the heat from our body, especially during winter. For your body to retain heat adequately over a period of time, it is imperative that you keep your head appropriately warm. This does not mean hot; we don't need hot-heads on the slopes whichever way they are created. We mean that you wear a covering that is appropriate. Many people today are wearing helmets. Helmets most definitely have the desired effect of keeping the head warm. Whether you choose to wear a helmet or not is an individual choice. None of our professionals wear helmets for recreational skiing - this must say something - either they are crazy or they have their reasons. If you are not going to wear a helmet, then be sure to wear a good quality, wram and comfortable headwear of some description. Wool, cashmere and fur are some of the best materials to look for when purchasing your headwear. Be sure that it is big enough to fit comfortably and cover your ears so as to avoid frost-bite on them.

A special tip for the young females in our skiing world. It may seem cool, cute, sexy and all that to go out skiing in the middle of winetr wearing a headband or even nothing at all but actually it is dangerous. This is a time to leave your vanity in front of the mirror in the lodge and snap in a module of common-sense. You can look really attractive in a ski hat too if you take the time to find the right one. If you have the right gear, you will want to stay on the slopes with your friends; this is why you came to the mountain after all. If you don't, then you will be one of those constantly racing into the lodge with one excuse after another. Believe me, we know the real reason, you are fooling no one but yourself. So get yourself a warm piece of headwear or a helmet to wear during the bulk of the season and save that headband for the spring skiing days.
