We're going for a week to Levi in half term. We'll be hiring those hideous all in one suits for going on husky rides and hanging about in the snow but need to buy some ski wear too as we are planning to do a little skiing for the first time.
I've already bought base layers, fleece tops and trousers, silk glove and sock liners, merino socks, ski tube socks and heat holder socks, fleece gloves to wear between liners and mittens, balaclavas and hats but I'm wondering about ski jackets and trousers. If we've got enough base and mid layers on can we buy regular ski jackets, would down be better? Are there any particular brands to go for or avoid - I don't want to spend more than necessary but don't want anyone to be cold.
Also any recommendations for really warm mittens for adults & kids?
