Here's what you need to know to get your kiddos ready for a great XC Ski Season
What to WearXC skiing keeps you very warm as you are producing a lot of body heat while you glide along the snow. We recommend everyone wears a hat, gloves, buff, base layers, light jacket, and light windbreaker pants. We also like kids to have sunglasses to avoid snow blindness and a water pack.
