water in the palm of the hand at the time of use, is pleasant and satisfactory for most skiers. It may also be made up or purchased in alcohol solution. Some skins require opaque protection, such as zinc oxide. Each skier must determine his own requirements. A headband protects the ears in cold weather, particularly when wind-proofed by the parka hood. A light blizzard visor is desirable in severe storm. Two light sweaters of adequate length will furnish emergency protection to 0° F and will serve to insulate an injured person. One or two extra large bandannas may be carried for general use and for emergency triangle bandages—or vice versa. Climbers for the skis will ordinarily be on the skis during climbs, but must otherwise be in the pack, so the weight is listed. |
