What should I wear under ski pants?
Alright, my chilly thrill-seekers, let's talk about what goes under those ski pants! First off, thermal underwear is your best bet, it's like a secret weapon against the cold. Now, if you're thinking long johns, you're on the right track. But, these aren't your granddad's long johns - go for moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics to stay cozy, dry, and free from the dreaded 'sweat-chill' effect. And remember, proper layering is like an onion - it might make you cry when you're cutting it down, but it's oh-so-necessary for that perfect winter stew of warmth and comfort on the slopes!

Technically, yes, you can, but it's far from being a smart or safe idea! Ski resorts clearly state that it's a big no-no and you could be slapped with hefty fines or even banned for life. Plus, unless you're a stunt double or secret superhero, the risk of injury is sky high. So, let's stick to skiing on the slopes, not off the lifts!

Do you wear anything under ski pants?
On the blog today, we explored the question: "Do you wear anything under ski pants?" The answer is yes, it's recommended to wear a base layer under ski pants for both comfort and warmth. This could be long underwear or a thermal layer, which not only keeps you warm but also wicks away sweat. It's important to avoid cotton as it absorbs moisture and can make you cold. It seems that a good pair of ski pants and the right base layer can make all the difference in your skiing experience.
