In a heavy wind a snow cave is warmest becauseit alone can provide still air, although the snow is usuallyporous enough to allow adequate ventilation. 4) Clothing should consist of a thin, windproof outer shell and as many inner garments as may be required for warmth. This windproof shell usually consists of a parka, a face mask (under extreme conditions), outer mitts of leather or fabric, and windproof trousers, either wool gabardine ski pants or special trousers over usual ski pants. Ski boots complete this shell. Windproof joining of these articles of clothing should be provided: a sewed-on parka hood, adequate parka drawstrings for face and waist, straps on cuffs of outer mitts and the usual tight-bottom ski pants. |
