My Outfit
What I wear on a ski day!
I have the blue one and they fit perfectly!! These ski pants were definitely made for women's bodies.
Emma Soft Shell Pant - Halfdays
I have the blue! I'm obsessed with all of the pockets, the sleeves covering my hands, and the phone holder.
Lawrence Jacket - Halfdays
I have the light blue and it's so soft.
Merino Beanie in Black - Halfdays
Great quality and much cheaper than others I've seen!
Women's Baselayers - 32 Degrees
I wear a quarter zip over my thermal base layer.
Women's Merino Wool Base Layer Tops & Shirts
I have multiple pairs of these and they keep my feet warm for so long!

These are so nice and comfy.

Equipment
The equipment I use for skiing. You can also rent at the resort if you’re not in the market to buy your own!
I love these skis as someone who’s considered an intermediate skier.
Flair 79 — Women's (2025)
I use this brand of poles and have liked them so far!

My ski boots! I highly recommend trailing in person.

Extras
Additional things I use when skiing.
Definitely need chapstick to prevent chapped lips from the wind and cold.
Balms
Just bought these instead of using the one time use ones and really like them!
OCOOPA Magnetic Rechargeable Hand Warmers 2 Pack
Although I like using the electric ones, having these on hand can be helpful if your electric one dies.
Hand Warmers - Camping & Hiking Gear
Having a leash for your phone is so important - you don’t want to drop it on a lift! My ski suit comes with one built in.
Koala Phone Harness
Ski boot bag that also holds my helmet, googles, gloves, and anything else I need.
