Cold chairlift rides, cocoa at the lodge and that first run they'll talk about all winter. Merino base layers, warm ski jackets and bibs, mittens, balaclavas and cozy ski socks to keep young skiers and riders out until last chair.
Insulated ski jackets and matching bibs from Boulder Gear, The North Face and Patagonia, merino base layers from Smartwool and Polarmax, and the gloves, mitts, balaclavas, beanies and over-the-calf ski socks that keep small hands and toes warm on the hill. Build out the rest of the kit with kids' jackets and snow gear, kids' gloves and socks and snow base layers, or shop everyday cold-weather layers in For the Young Adventurer.
