Our  snow tubing trip is just over a week away. Now is the time to buy your snow clothes, if you don’t already have some.  If you wait too late in the snow season, it can be hard to find some of these items.

Below is a list of the basic outerwear you want to have to stay dry and warm.  You could probably find some of these things in your host family’s closet 🙂 —

For Skiing/Snowboarding/Snow tubing

• Waterproof Snow Pants
• Gloves, hat, scarf and jacket (which you should already have)
• Waterproof Boots (for snow tubing)

Snow pants can be found at places like Sports Authority, Dick’s, Modell’s and REI; as well as online retailers.  You can usually find an adult pair for $25-$40.  Many of you (au pairs in my cluster) are small enough that you could buy a pair of XL snow pants in the boy’s department.  Those will cost you less and can sometimes be found at places like Target, KMart and WalMart for $15-$25.
