Today's Report
The Highlands Snow Globe was back in action yesterday. In the morning it was hardly snow expect for a few flakes at the lights in Duntroon by the time I got to Highlands it was snowing so heavily I could barely see where Iwas driving into the driveway! That continued the whole day! Tim has regroomed everything with the Husky. It will be soft but conditions are in excellent shape. You will likely see some drifting in the open areas and the trails snow covered today. Classic skiing will be the technique of choice.
Everything is open.
What would I be wearing while on the trails in the cold?
Top, 3 to 4 layers: my warmer base layer, merino baselayer that I use for a mid layer, maybe a light fleece (for me I find a fleece too much for a solo ski, although would have keep it if I was skiing with others) and jacket on top.
Bottom, 2 layers (I never wear more than 2 just change the weight): my warmer base layer, and heavier outer pants. Proper underwear makes a difference too! The no cotton holds true to underwear just as much as your base layer.
Accessories: warm hat (Sauce Chill Toque), regular weight buff, warmest mitts (Auclair Gigatex, again I find these too much for a solo ski but good if I was skiing with someone), and my Lorpen socks. I usually put on some vaseline on my cheeks and lips to help cut the wind and add a layer of protection. It won’t specifically help with frostbite but it helps with wind burn.
Bottom line don’t let the cold scare you off! You may discover you can enjoy being outside even when it is cold.
