Best Clothes To Wear Snow Skiing

How to Dress for Snow Skiing.

Have you ever seen those images of the beautiful skiers standing on the slope in those fashionable ski clothes looking like they just stepped out of a page from a fashion magazine?
It sure seems glamorous, but there is more to dressing for a ski trip than simply getting noticed wearing the latest high dollar ski clothing with a designer label.

When the temperature is hovering around freezing the name of the game is to stay warm. I am not suggesting that great looking ski clothing isn't capable of keeping you warm. It most certainly can. But there are other measures you can take to keep yourself warm and comfortable while roaming about the slopes.

Let's take a look at some tips on dressing for skiing that will protect you from the elements without breaking the bank. I doubt that any of these suggestions will have the paparazzi tripping over themselves to take your picture but at least you'll be warm and comfortable.

Ski and Snowboard Graphics For Sports Fans

College Snowboard

College Logo on Skis - Why Not?

College Logos on Ski Equipment.
People love to show their team pride. Professional and College sports logos can be found on nearly everything that will hold ink or thread.
Team logos can be found on Shirts, Hats, Coffee Mugs and Bumper Stickers.  Heck, here in Virginia Beach there are more Virginia Tech T-Shirts and bumper stickers than folks wearing those cheesy shirts the tourists buy from the Oceanfront shops. 

But how about snow sports equipment. I have never seen a Snow Ski or Snowboard emblazoned with graphics of a Pro or College team. I see it as a potential Mother lode for someone willing to tap into this market.

Difference Between Snow Skiing and Water Skiing

Summer is here so I figured it was time to talk a little about Water Skiing.

I recently I talked about my first experience on snow skis. It involved a trip to Wintergreen Ski Resort with a bunch of my Greek friends who tried to convince me that there was very little difference between snow skiing and it's water counterpart.

My first journey on the slopes proved them otherwise, so I decided to explore if there was indeed any major distinctions between the two sports. My unprofessional study is based on my first snow ski trip versus my years of water skiing on the Warwick River in Newport News.

3 Reasons Snowboarders Have Better Skills Than Skiers

Common Characteristics of Skiers and Snowboarders.

There are different opinions about the relationship between skiing and snowboarding.

Some hardcore fans in these sports maintain that these are distinct and different from each other. Nevertheless, skiing and snowboarding share the same platforms and manner of execution, namely snowy slopes and downward acceleration.

Whether you are a first timer or a veteran skier or snowboarder, you must learn how to prepare physically and mentally before subjecting yourself to the unforgettable adrenaline rush that both sports offer.

This includes defending yourself against both unforeseen and avoidable injuries that can happen while speeding down the slope.
