skiing in january
Permalink Closed

My boyfriend is taking me skiing/snowboarding in utah (park city area) in late january, but I've never been before.  Would a jacket like one of these be suitable?

I snowboard and I have an ae coat. They are not the worst coats, but they are not the best coat. If $60.00 is your price range then that is a pretty good coat for your money, but if you can afford more I would. Those coats are great when you are walking into the mall, but if you are spending a whole day outside in the snow it is not the best choice. I would check out Columbia, The North Face, Burton or LL Bean. They have a lot of warm clothes. They have a whole catalog for outside activites- a great place to look.

woo - do you plan on snowboarding/skiing again after this trip? If not, I would strongly recommend against Burton or The North Face just based on that fact that they're damned expensive! Def. not worth the price for one trip - go with the AE if you're not going to ski again. That's my advice, anyway.

columbia is pretty good stuff for the money and lots of times the fleece will unzip out of the shell so you have two coats. Dress in layers--


You will love Utah skiing...it is wonderful!!
