We live in a Golden Age of garment technology where there is “body mapping” and “sonic welding of seams”. Sewing machines are so 2004! Experienced mountaineers and skiers know that good winter clothing makes winter outings all the more pleasurable and safer. In the end, your clothing is your primary shelter.

Top right: Dressing in layers makes clothing more flexible when conditions turn warm or when you get heated from climbing. Enroute to the Jackal Hut, 10th Mountain Hut System, near Leadville, Colorado. Vivesphoto.
Middle left: See,randonnee skiers and telemarkers do get along after all! Both have wind/waterproof clothing and are ready for exercise on a great powder day. Jackal Hut, Leadville, Colorado. Vivesphoto.
Middle right: Jean skinning up in comfort! The base layer thermal wear can double as lounge wear around the hut. Add some down booties for maximum comfort! The Skinner Hut, Day Two of the Colorado Haute Route (CHR). Charlie Gray photo.
Bottom left: It is important to have clothing that can easily be adjusted for extreme heat as well as extreme cold. Ventilate your clothing before you get too hot. Heat can increase energy demand by a significant degree. Spring skiing on a closed trail, Loveland Ski Area, Colorado. Vivesphoto.
