Here are some guidelines for how to dress for your trip to Martock. Remember, it is best to LAYER clothing in case of weather changes. Bring a backpack or gym bag to store shoes and extra clothing. Less clothing is probably advisable for cross-country skiing.
- FEET - Socks should fit snugly but not tight - ONE good pair will be fine (not too thick). Bring one extra pair. Remember cotton is cold! Wool or synthetics are best.
- PANTS - Long underwear and ski pants OR sweatpants/tights and rain shell pant. (Please NO JEANS if at all possible as jeans bunch up in ski boots, get cold easily, and are uncomfortable around the legs.)
- BODY – A thin synthetic layer next to the skin with a fleece or wool layer over the first layer. The outer layer should be a jacket with water resistant qualities.
- HAT/HELMET - All alpine skiers and snowboarders are required to use a helmet. The helmets provided by Ski Martock provide the warmth of a good hat. It is recommended that students bring a thin hat to wear under the helmet in case the helmet doesn’t provide enough warmth. If the student/group member intends to brings his or her own helmet it should be certified for snow sports. A hat or headband is recommended for cross-country skiers as long as it covers the ears.
- HANDS - SKI GLOVES / MITTENS (a spare pair is a good idea)
- EYES - GOGGLES or sunglasses (ultra violet rated)
- FACE - SUNSCREEN (Minimum 15 SPF)
- OPTIONAL - Neck gator / Face mask / Change of clothes
