What clothes do I need to buy for skiing?

Tops: Undershirt, t shirt, thin jacket, jacket(maybe), coat. Bottoms: Leggings, sweats, good snowpants. Gloves: Hand-warmers, thin knit gloves, water proof gloves. Shoes: 2 pairs of socks, thick or medium, no thin ones, and just skiing boots. Also need: Hat, head band thing, scarf, goggles or sunglasses, helmet if your clumsy.

You'll want: -breathable long underwear for your top and bottom (the dri fit kind) -a wool sweater -scarf -hat or ear wrap -gloves or mittens (gortex) -ski coat (waterproof) -ski pants (waterproof with vents) -wool socks -goggles or sunglasess (depending on if it is snowing or not) Gorsuch.com has all the highest quality ski wear you'll need for your trip.

You'll want to start out with a set of long johns or thermal underwear. Layer on a cotton pair of socks with a wool pair over the top. Put on a pair of snow pants and a down jacket. Wear mittens, not gloves (fingers stay warmer in mittens). It's essential to wear a hat, too. I like ski goggles but you could also wear a pair of sunglasses that are made for sports and are shatter proof. If you do that, I'd advise a band to put around your neck so you don't loose them if you fall! Since this is your first ski trip, I'm assuming you don't know how to ski so you will probably spend a lot of time with your butt on the ground! You see a lot of people wearing only a sweater or sweatshirt and ski pants but this isn't a good idea until you know how to ski. You'll work up a sweat when you're skiing but when you're on the chair lift or just learning how to ski you'll be going slow and won't heat up as fast. I would not plan on wearing anything loose like a scarf. A neck warmer is fine but anything loose could catch on the chair when you're getting off the lift. You've got enough to think about. . . you don't need to worry about getting hung up!
