Ski Accessories
Ski accessories include everything besides the essential gear of boots, skis, and poles and can be on or off slope. Good examples are lip balm and sunscreen to protect the exposed parts of the skin from the harsh rays of the sun and protecting lips from the dryness common at high altitudes. UVA and UVB rays are much stronger at high altitude and the snow increases that through constant reflection.
Other useful ski accessories are used before or after a long day of skiing. Boot dryers are essential if planning to ski more than one day in a row. There is nothing worse than cold, wet feet. These often have special slots for gloves and socks as well, some of the easiest items to get wet. Goggle cloths protect the finish on goggles which allow the skier to see well and many double as a carrying case.
Ski accessories that are useful when riding include helmets, altimeter watches, crash pads and teaching aides. Altimeter watches can track much more than the altitude, they can tell the skier how many runs they have done, how many vertical feet they have covered, and other useful functions such as a timer, stop watch, and a regular clock. Sunglasses are great on warm spring days or for just chilling at the après ski bar.
