The snow is here, bringing the perfect opportunity to hit the mountains. If you're already planning a trip or just want to make the most of every run, here are 10 key tips to help you enjoy the experience worry-free. Take note! 

1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT GEAR

❄️ Waterproof and breathable jacket → The key to staying warm and dry. Our EcoExplorer Jacket is perfect for keeping you protected with its 20K/20K membrane.
 Technical pants → There’s nothing worse than ending up with wet clothes. The EcoExplorer Pants provide waterproofing and breathability, along with an ergonomic fit.
 Lightweight thermal layers → It’s not about layering up excessively but choosing the right piece. Our EcoActive Baselayer regulates temperature while keeping warmth without overheating.
 Essential accessories → Never underestimate the power of thermal gloves, a neck gaiter, and UV-protected goggles.

 2. CHOOSE THE DESTINATION THAT SUITS YOU BEST

✔ For adrenaline seekers: Chamonix (France), Zermatt (Switzerland), Aspen (USA).
✔ For a more relaxed and family-friendly experience: Grandvalira (Andorra), Sierra Nevada (Spain), Cortina d’Ampezzo (Italy).
✔ For powder lovers: Hokkaido (Japan) is the ultimate snow paradise.
 Extra tip: If it’s your first time, choose resorts with green and blue slopes to build confidence.

 3. IMPROVE YOUR TECHNIQUE ON EVERY RUN

 Bend your knees → Keep your center of gravity low for better stability.
 Don’t lean too far back → This will help you maintain control in deep snow.
 Use your ski poles correctly → They’re not just for style, they help you maintain rhythm in every turn.

4. STAY HYDRATED & PROTECT YOUR SKIN

Despite the cold, altitude, and physical activity can lead to dehydration. Drink water regularly and apply high-SPF sunscreen to avoid burns.

5. PLAN ACCORDING TO WEATHER CONDITIONS

Before heading to the mountains, check:
 Temperature and wind → Avoid storms and strong winds.
☀️ Slope conditions → Some trails may be closed due to avalanche risk.
 Lift schedules → Don’t miss the last ride up!

6. CREATE YOUR PLAYLIST TO GET MOTIVATED

Nothing like music to set the pace for every run. Are you more into rock, electronic, or reggaeton in the snow?
