❓ What ski goggles lens color should I get?
Yellow/amber: flat light and overcast. Rose: versatile all-condition. Dark smoke: bright sunny days. Clear: night skiing. Interchangeable lens goggles cover all conditions.
❓ Do I need a ski-specific helmet?
Yes. Ski helmets are designed for cold weather impacts, have ventilation adjustments, goggle compatibility, and ear coverage. Bike helmets are not suitable for skiing.
❓ How do I layer for skiing?
Base layer: moisture-wicking merino or synthetic. Mid layer: insulating fleece or down. Outer layer: waterproof and breathable shell. Adjust mid layer for temperature.
❓ How often should ski equipment be tuned?
Tune skis every 5-10 days of skiing. This includes edge sharpening, base repair, and waxing. Season-end tune before summer storage is essential.
