Clothing
A few tips on clothing for the snow:
The best idea for staying warm in the snow is to dress in layers. This simply means to dress using
layers of clothing (long sleeve top, then a vest and jumper, etc.) rather than one or two bulky
jackets. This not only keeps you warm but will allow you to regulate your temperature more easily
by having the option to remove or add layers.
If you do not have appropriate waterproof clothing for the snow, including gloves and goggles and
can’t borrow them from a friend, then you can hire them from Perisher Snowsports at the
Jindabyne Sport and Recreation Centre at your own cost. Mittens are recommended for those who
cannot easily straighten out their fingers to fit into gloves.
Bring a small backpack or sports bag to carry your
extra layers and a change of clothes in case you get
wet and cold. Spare gloves or mittens are also
good to bring if you have some.
Sunscreen is essential.
Please make sure you have your DWA membership
card with you on snow as it includes your medical
and emergency contact information. This
information is helpful for Ski Patrol in case their
assistance is required.
