Clothing
An overview of prudent gear to wear for skiing and information about the team clothing.
​
Outside in the winter
Skiing can be a very chilly sport and we don't want anyone to freeze. We do have a cut-off temperature for going outside, but that doesn't mean that it isn't cold up to that point. We require that the skiers come prepared for winter conditions. This means:
-
Buff
-
a hat
-
a jacket
-
gloves/mittens
-
warm-up pants (like the pants the Service skiers are wearing)
That list is just the minimum! For those single digit days, you will definitely want more. Please invest in a base layer of long underwear. It's important when you are shopping for warm clothes to make sure they are not made of cotton. Wool, a wool blend, or a good synthetic is ideal for keeping your body heat in. The guys on the team will also have a vested interest in acquiring wind briefs.​
​
Inside during practice
Often we will have a bit of practice indoors, be it in the weight room, or just doing a light jog. It's best to be prepared for being inside everyday, so don't forget to bring a pair of tennis shoes!
​
Team Clothing
Via the Service Ski Team Store on the Jakroo website, the Service ski team offers some cool gear. Everyone is encouraged have a team jacket, but don't forget to look at the other clothing options, like the team headbands. They match our awesome uniforms!
​
If you are unable to afford a jacket, please talk to the coaches. We have a limited supply of jackets that we can loan out.
