The many different ways you can layer for a day of skiing depends widely on your activity level, overall temperature of the day, and your general core temperature. We put together some layering ideas based on our experience and various activities below.
When layering for resort skiing, it's crucial to prioritize warmth, breathability, and moisture management. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer made from synthetic or wool fabrics to keep sweat away from your skin—remember, cotton is not your friend as it traps moisture and makes you cold.

If you're a backcountry skier, you probably already know what you're doing, but here are a few layering tips. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, followed by lightweight insulation like fleece or an active-insulated jacket that breathes well during ascents but keeps you warm at rest. Top it off with a waterproof, breathable shell to block out wind and snow. Flexibility is key, as conditions can change quickly!
