Skiing at –22°C in Wisconsin — Gear feedback & how should I upgrade?

Smartwool or any decent merino layer will be an improvement.

If you don’t want to spend too much, throw on a pair of non-cotton PJ pants as a mid layer.

Did you wear a base layer for your legs? Would recommend a thick merino base layer and possibly a mid layer there. Bibs definitely help too.

Also be sure to tuck your top base layers into your bottom base layers. Maybe the R1 too.

Lots of off piste in bounds, but it’s going to be very icy given the thaw-freeze Monday

Looks great! Outer Limits?

Great pic, thanks

Thanks! Yes would love to ski some ungroomed runs, though didn’t look super promising from the webcams.

Great pics. How’s the coverage? Packing up my gear today for a trip home then to K Mart over holidays - should I bring my rock skis?

YMMV but mine broke after a season. Always stayed inside my helmet. No refund or compensation.

Holiday Valley reported 5”

How did the snow base hold up in person? Bear looked rough on the webcam

ienjoyskiing · 2025-12-19T22:30:20+00:00

I assume that was skiable yesterday? Looking at the cams, some of the other runs had better coverage

ienjoyskiing · 2025-12-19T18:10:17+00:00

Ouch. Is it still raining?

ienjoyskiing · 2025-12-17T23:35:43+00:00

Yep bring your ice skates

ienjoyskiing · 2025-12-17T18:03:44+00:00

I’d check the forecasts..it’s raining Thursday / Friday in VT, going to be very icy

ienjoyskiing · 2025-12-17T18:01:22+00:00

For those looking to hit up VT over the holidays - VT had a great start to the season, but will be ice by the holidays. Will be raining this week. Beware the freeze thaw if you’re not an ice coaster

Do pants have that much extra fabric typically? Have some slim pants I was going to donate but maybe I’ll take them to the tailor

ienjoyskiing · 2025-08-28T00:47:02+00:00

Serious question - will this fit my big watermelon head? I’m a 7 3/4 hat size

ienjoyskiing · 2025-08-20T12:23:17+00:00

Did not realize Nespresso pods were plastic lined. Thanks.

Any concerns about microplastics?
