LOOK OF THE WEEK: Shred Some Air!

Thank goodness finals are over and the holiday season is upon us! Kick start your holidays by hitting the slopes, and shredding some serious air!

Brace yourself for the cold weather, and gear up from head to toe. Don’t get caught in the cold without the proper equipment and gear.

Essential must-haves:

1. Goggles- nothing hurts more than snow hit your eyes like shards of glass, throw on protective eye wear to prevent wind and debris hitting you in the eyes

2. Helmet- If you’re planning on perfecting jumps, you are going to need protective head gear to break your fall from bailing!

3. Winter Jacket - Make sure its waterproof and super warm! It gets cold on the mountain, so bundle up!

This Look of the Week is dedicated to the skiers and snowboarders gearing up for the upcoming season on the mountain!
