Skiing is Believing (A Beginner’s Guide) – Decathlon for the Win!
Cold wind in your face. The speed. The adrenaline rushing through your body. You’re at the top of the mountain. Literally. Arguably, one of the best things about the cold, skiing can be great, but for the first-time skier, it can also be a little daunting!
All the equipment and special clothes can make your head spin, but have a little faith, Eden won’t leave you out in the cold. We enlisted the help of the experts at Decathlon who were able to take the fear of going down that slope.
1st Layer
First things first! Every house starts off with a good foundation. Make your base layer count with a thermal top and bottom.

Wedze Men’s Underwear Bottom £8.99
Wedze Women’s Underwear Top £8.99
Wedze Women’s Underwear Bottom £8.99
Pro tip: Always wear a thermal underlayer. Cotton next to the skin won’t keep you warm or dry.
2nd Layer
Okay, so maybe you’re not out there yet, but there’s no reason you can heat things up (and still look cool) while you lounge.

Temperatures might be freezing but you can still get burnt! Make sure to apply sun screen to the face and lip balm to the lips to avoid chapping and burns.
