How to Dress for Cross Country Skiing

It is best to wear light layers of moisture wicking clothing such as polypropylene or wool (do not wear cotton). Heavier thermal layers are great for cold days, but avoid wearing bulky items such as coats that inhibit movement and layering of clothing. Windbreakers with hoods are essential on windy or snowy days. Scarves, hats, and neck gators are also highly recommended on cold windy days. Only water resistant gloves should be worn that are not made of cotton. Glove liners, mittens, and hand warmers can be used on colder days. Gloves should be worn at all times even on warm days to avoid frost bite or abrasion from rough snow. Skiers must always wear sunglasses to protect their eyes from intense UV at high elevations. Boot covers specifically made for cross country skiing can also be worn on cold days or toe warmers can be used. Skiiers should bring an extra pair of gloves and a change of clothing to each ski session. Skiers should carry some food and water with them on longer tours. Water bottle carriers or insulated hydration packs are helpful tools. A warm beverage or hot soup is also a wonderful idea! Don't forget the sunscreen.
