Clothing need be no problem. Over the far hill there are no people to impress and to look pretty for. This is a chance to squeeze the last wear out of older ski clothes, to scrape the last thread bare. Stretch pants will get by, but impede circulation, ventilation, and insulation. The baggier the parka, the better—for the same reason. The main requirement of clothing is that it be adjustable; layers will need to be subtracted or added easily to avoid over- or underheating. A few of the prewar axioms still hold: (1) Two light layers trap more air and insulate better than one heavy layer. (2) It is easier to keep warm than to get warm. (3) If you don't want a chill, don't work up a sweat. |
