Bundle Up

When braving cold climates and temperatures, it’s important to keep two things in mind; first, you’ll want to stay as dry as possible, and second—layers are your best friend! As a general rule, when skiing or snowboarding, you should have at least three layers on the body to insulate your heat and stay warm. We suggest starting with an insulating base layer, adding a knit or sweater overtop, and last, a waterproof coat and pants to serve as a final layer of durable protection.

Chalet Beauty Essentials

Although a trip to a Ski-Lodge or Chalet is typically not the time or place for a full-glam beauty look—taking the time to give some extra love to your skin, lips, and hair is 100% necessary. When travelling or staying in a new and unfamiliar climate, our skin can often become sensitive and irritated by the unfamiliar environment, so it is important to give yourself some extra care during this time.
