How should you dress your child?
Start with a thin layer next to the skin – long johns or thermals. Layer according to the weather with polar fleece tops and pants as insulation on colder days. Outerwear should be both waterproof and windproof. Bring a winter hat, neck warmer and waterproof mittens. Don’t forget ski goggles or sunglasses. Use only one pair of socks, preferably ski socks as they keep feet drier and warmer. It is highly recommended to bring an extra pair of underwear and pants just in case of an accidents (age appropriate). Please bring extra snacks and a water bottle for the day and don’t forget to apply sunscreen! Please make sure to inform one of our supervisors of any allergies or relevant medical information.
