Winter Travel Tips

You'll need plenty of high-energy foods because you burn more calories in the cold. Drink plenty of fluids, but avoid caffeine.

Tip from the modelling world to prevent your hands from chapping, ALWAYS wear gloves when you're going out in the cold, even if it's just for a short time.

You'll want a layer that wicks moisture away from your body. Wear layers to stay warm. Loose clothing assists in circulation. Wear a neck gaiter to keep your neck and lower face warm. Pack a couple of 100% cotton T-shirts. They're breathable, warm and flexible - great for layering - and they can double as nightshirts.

It will be warmer if you do a few exercises before you get on the lift, and right after you get off. Go inside frequently to warm up.

Your face should be protected. Use moisturizer to provide protection from the wind. Don't forget the sunblock. Use a face mask or neck gaiter up over your mouth and/or nose.
Thermal socks are warm and help absorb moisture. Be sure you can move your toes in your boots to keep circulation moving. Toe warmers are great.

Your hands may be better protected by mittens than gloves. Glove liners help. Remove metal rings and bracelets. Hand warmers are a good idea.

Your head is an escape route for more than 50% of your body heat. Keep your head and ears covered. Remove metal earrings.
