Extra tip: When taking off your gloves during a drink or lunch outside, your gloves will cool down fast and you risk cold hands afterwards. In order to prevent this from happening, put your gloves inside your jacket... or just sit on them. That will keep your gloves warm. :-)
After many years I've discovered that, for me, the key to warm feet is having boots that fit REALLY well, so that they don't have to be overly tightened to perform well. It's made an amazing difference.
what about people naurally just have cold feet and cold am I just gonna freeze to death considering glove and socks keep heat in but there's no heat to keep D:
@@hy930807 if you have the opportunity to see an osteopath, the key area of their expertise in Musculoskeletal medicine is to improve blood flow in the circulatory system.
Makes sense because blood is what heats up your extremities, so the tighter your boot the less blood flows through there and the colder your foot is. @@hy930807 with that in mind, maybe try unbuckling your boots before every lift ride and rebuckling your boots at the top once you get off (you'll start getting pretty fast at it to the point where you can do it on the move if you do it enough). Also, changing from cotton socks to merino wool makes a way bigger difference than most people think.
This guy knows what he is talking about. From experience I can usually find fault in videos like this but he really nails it. Shell, insulation, base. Warmth, breathability, permeability. I personally love Kinkos as a warm glove with a generous helping of SnoSeal. Thin poly something gloves, leather gloves, and warm Kinkos. It's not uncommon it's so cold I can hear the gloves tap, but still feel like I have dexterity and am warm.
Great videos, for feet I always wear skinny socks, generally wool but on very cold days I use medical tape to tape hand warmers tp the top of my toes (in my boots there is just enough room). The relative lack of oxygen in the boot causes the handwarmer chemical reaction to slow and they last more tham 12 hours. Whenever my toes start to get chilled I lift them up to the top of the boot squeezing the hand warmer against my toes and the boot and they warm up. There are also toe warmers with sticky patches designed for such a purpose but, being a ski patroller, I have a lot of medical tape and only need to carry one type of warmer.
I've been skiing pretty much since I've learned to walk, but I always like brushing up on extra tips to see if I can learn something new, thanks for posting!! :}
Nice video. One thing I found to work really well is modern mid layers like Black Diamond First Light or Patagonia Nano-air, you can wear it with a shell or without, super light, dries very well, breathes much better then traditional insulation. Does not work for skiing in rain or in REALLY strong wind. For outer shell I often use a soft shell(Patagonia levitation hoody in my case), thing is indestructible, stretchable more breathable but heavier and less waterproof then Gortex Pro.
Very good summary. I tend to have cold feet and hands even though I use glove liners and compression socks. This can be mitigated by keeping the body core temperature up, so using an extra insulation vest and insulating short really helps me on cold days. When planning for the day not only temperatures but also wind need to be considered. And finally a Buff and beanie can give the little extra warmth and be stowed away easily when not needed.
Hey! Random question..... I've been tucking my thermal leggings into my boots lately. Someone told me that's a BAD mistake. Is it? Seems to work ok for me
@@jonathanhalloran8807 just keep the thermal leggings over the height of your bindings / top of your boots, otherwise you'll experience pain and chafing. Stretching your socks higher up or easier yet, long socks, will help with this
I love your videos! These inspired me to film some skiing content myself... tomorrow, I’m filming a beginner’s guide to Keystone (a Colorado ski resort owned by Vail Ski Resort). It has been a long time since I filmed a ski video.
As a freeride skier from north Finland I can assure you as long as you have a good pair of ski socks and clothing that fits the weather conditions, your feet will stay warm. Without the need of any kind of thermo socks etc. Most common reasons for cold feet are too tight socks or too tight boots. Or worst scenario, multiple socks that pressure your feet and toes too much.
I rarely use a mid-layer, even if it’s -5C I get hot after the first run. Last time I went with some new skiiers they all ended up regretting taking their midlayers as they got too warm by just carrying skis to the lift for five minutes
I recently changed over from gloves (I have a few pairs incl leather and gor-tex) to mittens and it was immediately obvious that they are far warmer than gloves. Gloves are the wrong design for keeping your hands warm, and for a number of reasons, which all add up to much colder hands. You lose heat through surface area. Think about the surface area of a glove with an individual compartment for each finger, versus a mitten that is essentially a bag you throw your hand into. A bag in which you are creating and storing warm air. Gloves are pathetic in this regard. Second - the mitten is much easier to just put your hand into. The glove - again with it's surface area - resists being pulled on by friction. So your hands are out in the cold longer. You just plunge your hands into mittens almost effortlessly. Third - on the lift - or even on the side of the trail - you can easily ball up your hands within the mittens. Doing so with gloves is far more difficult. So have cold hands and play with (and possibly drop) your iPhone - I mean, I do it. But with mittens off. You can't really operate your phone with ski gloves on either. Now here's another thing - I have a little "tether" - an elastic strip about 3-4 inches long sort of alligator clips at both ends. One end gets clipped to my jacket. I just leave it like that. When I want to take my gloves off, I clip them into the other alligator clip. If you just leave your gloves/mittens on your lap, they could fall off the lift and then your hands will really freeze. If all that is not enough for you, I find it much easier to get my hands into the pole straps when I wear mittens vs gloves. I know I wrote a lot but it's your hands, folks. Get mittens. I swear by them now. Even for spring skiing the ease of on/off makes them better than gloves.
I bought a mountaineering jacket for€350. Large hood, lots of large pockets and vents. Only down side is no snow skirt. There are very cheap shell jackets in tkmax if you are lucky.
I ski In New Zealand and the most important and useful parts of my gear are my Mons-Royale balaclava and touch screen friendly glove inners. The balaclava covers the neck, can be used with a hood and can cover the face aswell, i always use the thin, warm hood under my helmet because a warm head is crucial. But on the slopes I usually keep my mouth uncovered, but when I get onto the chairlift and I can feel the cold breeze or the snow machines on my face, I can just shimmy the balaclava to cover my face all the way to my goggles within seconds, just by moving my jaw and face a little. And It feels like its not even there, warm but extremely breathable. I also use my inner gloves at lunch so I can use my phone and have good hand movement (because they are well fitting) to eat my lunch without getting cold hands.
An extra tipp regarding the socks is, to wear compression socks (made for skiing) which are usually thinner and enhance blood circulation, hence keeping your feet warm. You don’t get these socks everywhere, since they are trying to sell you the thick, sweaty-feet socks... :)
I have not needed to use a midlayer before negative 20, unless it is very windy. Just a good synthetic base layer, neck gator, gloves and my trusty H/H jacket.
Big tip for warm feet, wash your feet before you head out. Get any and all sweat off your feet. Also don't double sock, just cuts your circulation and causes blisters.
always buy gloves a larger size than your normal gloves, the extra air in the glove will keep you hands warmer....(hey, I grew up in Alaska) so I know a little bit about cold weather
I am a huge advocate of the one-piece Merino baselayer! I have have different weights, I mostly use 200grm but I do have a 330gram for really cold days.
Big tip here for new people, don't tuck your thermals/base layer into your socks or boots. The pressure from latching up your boots can push the cuffs etc into your ankles which is very painful. I did this on my first day on snow and could barely ski because of the pain in my ankles.
I remember when I first start skiing, one of my instructors told me to always wear "executives socks" (I'm not sure if it's the right translation, sorry) so I don't get any troubles putting on/out my boots. After that, next step has been using competition ski socks that are quite thin. Wherever I tried merino socks or similar for cold days, my feet where so sweaty so... in any situation thin sockets work really good for me. Cheers 🤘
I found some thin norrøna merino socks, i have many pairs. Never cold and mans never hot too. Norrøna is known for their quality. The price is a little bit steep but it’s worth it. www.norrona.com/nb-NO/produkter/lofoten/lofoten-mid-weight-merino-sokker-lange/?color=1265&
Hi mr. stomp it. I know this is an older video but I was wondering if snowboarding vs skiing jackets make any difference. Scott has some cool shells but I'm not sure if it they would work for snowboarding. Thoughts ?
Does anyone have a link to video of the guy who strips down while on skis? It’s something like “what to wear in -10 -20 -30” and he is on a mountain on skis. It’s pretty funny and useful. I have shared this video with a lot of friends. Also wanted to share that one. Lmk if anyone knows what I a talking about.
Another thing to keep in mind: Because the mid-layer usually goes over your ski trouser suspenders, you again want it to have a zipper the entire length so you don't have to take the jacket and helmet off and then pulling the pullover over your head when needing to go to the toilet...
You need to test Löffler Transtex. It is a blend of cotton and synthetic. It doesn't smell and it doesn't feel wet. I can wear one set for 3 full days and it is still quite ok. Full synthetic is disgusting after one day.
Specialized gear. A normal hardshell will be horrible at transpiring, causing sweating. In all honesty I disagree with what was said in the video, as in my experience it's the outer layer that makes or breaks skiing (and even more so snowboarding). A proper jacket and pants with ventilation zips, good gloves (no leather!!! Stick to goretex, you'll thank me later), 2 t shirts and a hoody will easily take you through a day at -20 C while skiing (not touring, there I'd don a baselayer). If your "outer shell" has the capability to regulate warmth and humidity you'll never need a baselayer. If it's really warm you'll sweat anyway. I found Burton to produce extremely good pants and solid jackets while da kine has produced some of the best gloves I've ever had on (gore tex). My experience: 28 years of skiing (10 competing and 15 teaching) and 15 snowboarding.
If your fingers are getting cold, don't wear gloves... wear mittens. Keeping your fingers together is much warmer. At least for ski boots (don't know about snowboard) wear only one very thin synthetic sock or just barefoot it. Thick insulating socks, or worse layered socks, can bunch and the seams will cut off circulation which makes your feet cold. The liners have plenty of insulation and it is blood flow that will keep your feet warm.
Hey guys I’m going skiing for the first time pretty soon because my friend skis and he talked me into it. Are there alternatives with like average clothing for this stuff because I don’t want to have to buy all this stuff just in case skiing isn’t for me.
This is probably too late but I recommend long underwear as a base, then a sweatshirt, then the jacket. Sweatshirts aren’t the best but it’s way easy to remove. A thin coat would work too-like one for fall and spring. Honesty if it’s really hot I just open up my coat on the slope.
What about pants? I’m cold blooded so usually go with 20-year-old insulated pants with full side zips over a light or medium base layer. Interested in others’ experience.
Yeah, I will wear snowboarding pants with 100 polar fleece and sports style boxers. Snowboard pants are better in the powder than ski pants. One size to big. Got the 200 on top to 100 on bottom combo working this year and the feet have warmed up too.
For me, Primaloft under Shell is not working because of the horrible smell after half a day. How do you dress if the morning is freezing cold, or you have strong winds so you need something really warm when sitting in a chairlift, but you nearly overheating during riding? What is the benefit of an underarm zipper, when there is a thick windproof midlayer under it? Isn't this an issue for you too?
Anyone please tell me if this Smartwool 250 base layer that he wears, is it an overkill as a first layer?? Can't decide between 150 and 250 merino, I'm getting quite hot while snowboarding tho.
Stomp It Tutorials This is exactly what I did few minutes ago))) I really didn’t expect that fast reply, thank you. By the way you are doing absultely great job with your vids. Props from Georgia
Can you recommend any good ski jackets that don't cost a fortune? Dare2B seem to have good value stuff at the moment on sale. What do you think about hardshell vs softshell? Is goretex fine or is goretex pro that much better? What are the wool and synethetic mid layers you showed us?
I'd also like to see a guide on which ski gloves to get. I can't decide what to get. There are way too many options when each brand seems to have about 20-30 variations. Race gloves, freeride, powder, leather, goretex, dexterity, durability, warmth. I just don't know.
Get yourself a pair of Hestra Fall Line. They are the shit :P Make sure to get it in black I have seen other colors stain other clothing when wet. I have nothing todo with Hestra I just used them for years.
Thanks, I have been looking at those ones. They're very hard to find at this time in the season. Oh that's good to know, I was thinking of trying to get red or cork. Do they offer good protection for slalom? What do you think of the Black Diamond legend with goretex or the spark pro? I was looking for the Armada Harbor I saw you also liked but they seem to be only be produced in a mitt.
T shirt(not poly or cotton, 50/50 wool/cotton is good), flannel shirt (wool) then flak jacket and body armor (jk) for real though, a thinner wind proof and water proof jacket
Rooster Do you wear nothing under the outer pants? Is that not cold? Where I ski it can get as cold as -20˚C wihich is about -5˚ fahrenheight, and I think my legs would have frozen of if I did not av wool underneath.
At 5:25 you mention treating your gloves every month but I can't make out what you say to use. Sounds like 'glove fat' but not seeing that when I google.
I use a fleece as a mid layer & have never had any issues with it. Perhaps if you're in powder a lot & have a few falls it could get a bit soggy, but for intermediate piste skiiers, it should be fine.
The problem is if you wanna use your phone on the lift with the gloves... I mean, it's not so smooth to press the touchscreen with gloves but sometimes it's that cold.
Extra tip: When taking off your gloves during a drink or lunch outside, your gloves will cool down fast and you risk cold hands afterwards. In order to prevent this from happening, put your gloves inside your jacket... or just sit on them. That will keep your gloves warm. :-)
Ahhhhhh! How have I never known this, I've always suffered super cold hands after going inside for beer/potty break. You're amazing
i want em cold :(
Genius
Ruben Boni yes and don’t forget to say the gloves go on when indoors- before they get cold!
Pissing on your hands will quickly warm them up.
yes, a video about off season training/fitness/flexibility would be wonderful. How to prepare body optimally for ski season.
Dude do a video about off snow training- like gym and stuff that gives benefits to skiing
Yes please
Please!!
Yeeeaaahhhh
I'd like that.
Inline freeskating dudes!
If you have cold feet you can also open the buckles of the skiboot when you are in a lift. This results in a better blood circulation
Good advice but then you should get your boots fitted properly if this keeps happening. Cold feet once in a while happens.
Jesus christ get new boots

Nah bro, in AUS just use an underarmour teeshirt and XXL Armada Hoodie

What do you think of protective gear ? Like underarmor hip and topbody protection
What is the Scott Jacket that you have? Would like to know cause I am looking at a couple.
Hi. I have 3 layer pants in gore tex. what to wear underneath more than base layers?

Thoughts ?
Definitely! I got sick for a week cuz I forgot to put my scarf on...
yer, what about the legs, what pants and base layer do you use
Wear pyjamas under your snow pants, you’ll feel like ur sitting on a cloud

How do you feel about a moisture wicking undershirt before my baselayer?
Silk as a base layer? (Especially if even Merino Wool makes you itchy)
Hi, Texas resident moving to Colorado. What do you wear on your legs?
Sweden!!!🇸🇪🇸🇪
So what's about pants? Softshell or better hardshell?
What would you recommend - a "normal" hard shell pants or actually hard shell pants that's more for skiing. I'm an average skiier.
Specialized gear. A normal hardshell will be horrible at transpiring, causing sweating. In all honesty I disagree with what was said in the video, as in my experience it's the outer layer that makes or breaks skiing (and even more so snowboarding).

Yeah, I will wear snowboarding pants with 100 polar fleece and sports style boxers. Snowboard pants are better in the powder than ski pants. One size to big. Got the 200 on top to 100 on bottom combo working this year and the feet have warmed up too.
Try using heat tech thermals from UNIQLO
Try getting Gore-Tex pants. They are extremely warm and fully waterproof!
For me, Primaloft under Shell is not working because of the horrible smell after half a day.
How do you dress if the morning is freezing cold, or you have strong winds so you need something really warm when sitting in a chairlift, but you nearly overheating during riding?
What is the benefit of an underarm zipper, when there is a thick windproof midlayer under it? Isn't this an issue for you too?
I have a problem with wearing leather gloves because they get soaked in snow and they get wet after some hours and then my hands get cold....
Treat the leather with some sort of oil designed for waterproofing leather. Neat's foot oil is one that might help. Leather won't get soaked anymore.
What part of the alps do you live in?
Anyone please tell me if this Smartwool 250 base layer that he wears, is it an overkill as a first layer?? Can't decide between 150 and 250 merino, I'm getting quite hot while snowboarding tho.
If you get too hot easily like I do go for 250 bottom and 150 top. I ride like that quite often.
Stomp It Tutorials This is exactly what I did few minutes ago))) I really didn’t expect that fast reply, thank you. By the way you are doing absultely great job with your vids. Props from Georgia
Can you recommend any good ski jackets that don't cost a fortune? Dare2B seem to have good value stuff at the moment on sale. What do you think about hardshell vs softshell? Is goretex fine or is goretex pro that much better? What are the wool and synethetic mid layers you showed us?
Made In Machines I got my jacket and pants from 6pm they sell good jackets for really cheap, goretex is probably fine
Check out Lightboardcorp
U get quality stuff for less than 200€
Why not snow gloves that kinda waterproof?
I'd also like to see a guide on which ski gloves to get. I can't decide what to get. There are way too many options when each brand seems to have about 20-30 variations. Race gloves, freeride, powder, leather, goretex, dexterity, durability, warmth. I just don't know.
Get yourself a pair of Hestra Fall Line. They are the shit :P Make sure to get it in black I have seen other colors stain other clothing when wet. I have nothing todo with Hestra I just used them for years.
Thanks, I have been looking at those ones. They're very hard to find at this time in the season. Oh that's good to know, I was thinking of trying to get red or cork. Do they offer good protection for slalom? What do you think of the Black Diamond legend with goretex or the spark pro? I was looking for the Armada Harbor I saw you also liked but they seem to be only be produced in a mitt.
track pants and thrifted clothes

T shirt(not poly or cotton, 50/50 wool/cotton is good), flannel shirt (wool) then flak jacket and body armor (jk) for real though, a thinner wind proof and water proof jacket
Arr you from sweden?
What are glove liners?
what about the pants? :) I usually wear merino leggings under the pants (especially if it's too thin) on cold days.
This may be more of an issue for ladies. Men generally have hairy legs which help trap the heat & I've never had cold legs.
Rooster Do you wear nothing under the outer pants? Is that not cold? Where I ski it can get as cold as -20˚C wihich is about -5˚ fahrenheight, and I think my legs would have frozen of if I did not av wool underneath.
But what about wearing an XXXL
At 5:25 you mention treating your gloves every month but I can't make out what you say to use. Sounds like 'glove fat' but not seeing that when I google.
Sno seal is great stuff
Wrist straps on gloves!
How about Fleece? Is it a good choice as a midlayer?
That's usually my choice for a midlayer. Price wise, they are usually cheaper as well
Compared to primaloft type insulation it is heavier, dries slower but is a bit cheaper.
I use a fleece as a mid layer & have never had any issues with it. Perhaps if you're in powder a lot & have a few falls it could get a bit soggy, but for intermediate piste skiiers, it should be fine.
I'm always way too warm when skiing. Usually ski France or Austria.
U should wear mittens. 10x warmer
OregonKid Productions Yes. Even cheap mittens will outperform somewhat nice gloves in my experience.
The problem is if you wanna use your phone on the lift with the gloves... I mean, it's not so smooth to press the touchscreen with gloves but sometimes it's that cold.
@@vladiinsky Learn to get thru a day without your phone. Pathetic generation...
Mittens suck ass

Do you layer on the lower part of your body ?
