Kids' Baselayers

Sure, if we adults are a little cold on a ski day, we can grit our teeth and stick it out. But for a kid, uncomfortable temps can spell mutiny. Go big on layering, bring hand warmers, and stock a small backpack with a few extras like spare mittens, an extra buff, or puffy jacket. (Kids are notoriously good at getting things like mittens and buffs wet and sometimes need fresh ones.) They may appreciate the novelty and warmth of a thermos of hot cocoa on the chairlift ride, too.
