Ideal Bite

Until recently, I never really invested in high-quality snow gear - I just patched and pieced together unfashionable hand-me-down ski sweaters and jackets, layered on plain cotton socks (lots), and threw a few mismatched hat-glove-scarf combinations over the top.

And although I now have a great, ventilated ski jacket, a pair of ultrainsulating socks, and waterproof gloves - all of which make spending time outside that much more comfortable - at the end of the day, as long as you're warm enough, don't worry about what you wear, just get outside and play.

There's no better way to celebrate the fight against global warming than taking a snow day.
