Snowboarding trip!
I'm going snowboarding/skiing next weekend for the first time, and i was wondering if anyone had any tips to help me be more prepared. Like, what should i wear? my main concern is pants. I don't really have any that i think would be good for snowboarding. Jeans don't really seem like a good idea. any suggestions? I'd like to avoid buying a lot of stuff, but if its neccessary, thats okay. i'm only going for 2 days, so it shouldn't be too big a deal. I just want to focus more on having fun than freezing to death. thanks!

Hey there :)
Layering is deffinitley the key
when going snowboarding, trust me.
It helps a ton.
For your top:
Wear a tank top.
Long sleeve shirt. (or shirts)
A t-shirt either over or underneath
the long sleeve shirts.
Light weight jacket (optional)
Hoodie and a ski jacket.
For your pants:
I really really really don't recommend
jeans, I've done that before and I was
miserably wet and cold. I'd buy a pair
of waterproof snow pants if at all possible
they'll totally be worth it. You'll be
so much warmer.
Wear long johns.
Leggings.
Pajama/sweat pants.
Jeans.
Ski pants over them.
Be sure to wear gloves and several
pairs of socks!
Good Luck<3

hi,
i go snowboarding all the time and all you really need is layers. long sleeves first, then a sweat shirt, then a slightly bigger sweatshirt thats heavier, and then your coat. For your pant wear something like long johns, then pajama pants, and if you have to your jeans. but heres a trick i learnes last year while you have all your pants on get a friend to spray them down with hairspray, it keeps the water from soaking in but make sure you do this the night before and the day of the trip, also get waterproof gloves youll need them and put like cloth gloves underneath. and wear lots of socks that are like higher up on your leg like knee highs. and most important make sure you have a snow hat or an ear band cause the snow will sting your ears as you go down the hill. and its highly recommended that you get snowboarding goggles they are a huge help if the resort is making snow or if its really snowing.
i hope this will help i no it seems like a lot but everything is really important i ust told you what i wore but i had to learn the hard way of exactly how much u need and why.

I HIGHLY recommend getting some snow pants, just because they are made to block wind and also keep you warm. whenever i go snow boarding i wear leggings and tall socks, jeans, snowpants....if you're a girl i suggest a sportsbra. lol. and then short sleeve shirt, and long sleeve shirt and a sweat shirt and a jacket.
obviously you're going to want something for your ears, a headband or a hat will do just fine. and gloves of course. Also, depending on how the weather is you might want to get a mask. just because if it's snowing sometimes it gets really hard to see..but if you dont want to buy one, sunglasses might do.
have fun!!
ps. make sure you have tall thick socks, because if you dont the boots will rub against your leg and it will hurt!
