It’s the middle of April. Which means, among other things... not much snow out there. Also, it’s kinda warm. Don’t panic. Just focus. What’s important is that you look good and stay cool while skiing the season’s last powder stashes. So let’s assess what you’re bringing. To be clear: it’s this stuff.
Crazy thing, this vest. You see, cold water runs through several pipes lining its core to keep your body temperature down while you’re out being all active. Feel free to wear it straight through summer, too. Well, maybe take it off when you go to bed.
Never mind that the applicator sort of looks like a stick of deodorant. This ski wax goes on quick, and you don’t have to wait for it to dry. Plus, it’s designed for all weather situations. And last time we checked, spring counts as a weather situation.
Here’s a dapper piece of shirt science from Ministry of Supply that’s infused with coffee grounds to absorb smells that don’t smell good and replace them with no smells at all. Also, it looks good enough to segue seamlessly into your après dealings. Although we probably had you at coffee shirt.
Goggles. You definitely need goggles. And these ones come equipped with an anti-fog inner lens and a military-level turbofan to keep things from getting too steamy in there. Which is a hell of a lot more than you can say about goggles that don’t do that.
Don’t say that you have no interest in a ski-specific beer growler. That you don’t care about an airtight, stainless-steel vessel with double walls to keep your beer icy cold and carbonated for 24 hours. Because then you’d just be lying.
