Michigan winters are unpredictable — snow one moment, wind and ice the next. Dressing correctly makes all the difference in staying warm and comfortable on the slopes.
1. Start with Moisture-Wicking Base Layers
Avoid cotton. Choose synthetic or merino wool to stay dry and warm.
2. Add an Insulating Mid Layer
A fleece or lightweight down jacket provides essential warmth without bulk.
3. Choose a Waterproof, Breathable Outer Shell
Your ski jacket and pants should protect against wind, snow, and moisture. Look for Gore-Tex or similar performance fabrics.
4. Don’t Forget Ski Socks and Gloves
Wool or synthetic socks keep feet warm without overheating. Waterproof gloves or mittens are essential.
5. Helmets and Goggles
Visibility changes fast in Michigan. Goggles with interchangeable lenses help with sunny, cloudy, or snowy conditions.
