When you’re out on the slopes, the harsh elements are bound to take
a toll on your skin. With the sun reflecting on the snow, the wind
whipping around your face, and the cold, dry mountain air, you may
find yourself leaving the resort with both sunburn and windburn, both
of which can make your next day skiing extremely uncomfortable.
Sunscreen is essential for all skiers to wear. At high altitudes, not
only are you closer to the sun, but the atmosphere is thinner and thus
filters less ultraviolet light, putting you at greater risk for sunburn.
Although the sun is especially strong during everyone's favorite blue
bird days, skiers are at risk even during overcast cloudy days when
the snow is falling. Consider a sweat-proof, sport-appropriate
sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. However, an SPF of 60-75
offers the most protection.
The cold wind and dry air can easily cause chapped lips, and your
lips are also just as susceptible to sunburn as your face, so when
you’re selecting a lip balm, be sure that is formulated with an SPF of
at least 4.
Whenever you have your gloves off, whether you’re unloading your
gear, adjusting your ski boots, or locking up your skis, your hands are
exposed to the cold air, which tends to be especially dry in
mountainous regions. No one wants to end a ski day with dry,
cracked hands, so take the necessary precautions and keep your
hands moisturized with hand cream.
""A New Year of Firsts" by Cheryl Dinwiddie
This New year's Skunk trip was full of "Firsts". The first "first" was
pairing up with the Rockford Ski Club members who were very
friendly and very welcoming to the Skunks. The next "first" was our
use of the Rockford Airport (approx. 1hr. 15min. from Arlington
Heights.) We did not have to pay for parking and there were snacks-
n-stuff for purchase before and after going thru security. The third
"first" came from Frontier Airlines (all leather seats, by the way)
who did not charge for our first two bags and was "on time" coming
and going. The fourth "first" was the weather at Winter Park. It was
freezing! The temperature in the morning when the lifts opened was
about10-15 degrees below zero. Each of the three ski days warmed
up to about 4 or 5 degrees above zero. But the cold of the day was
made up for by the warmth and friendliness of our new-found friends
from Rockford Ski Club. You are number one with us Skunks!
