Hi, skiers!
2nd year skiing here and first year with lots of planned trips, both long weekends and days. It's also the first year that my family has our own skis and boots. Last weekend, we had a great time at Okemo. It's now a week later and my boot liners are wet! My kids skied Okemo and then again Wednesday night at our local hill and I checked their liners today and they are wet, too. Stuck my hands in their mittens--also wet! I'm guessing it's a combo of sweat and melted snow/precipitation, as it was rainy at times.
Just had my husband start a fire to try to dry everything out before we head to Sugarloaf next weekend. Do you all have boot dryers? How do you make sure boots and everything is dry before heading out the next day? We have backup mittens but no backup boots! Thoughts? I didn't have the gear zipped up in bags--had everything lined up on a boot tray in our heated mudroom.
Thanks for any ideas!
