Tips with masks

[Ski_AnnA]

Good morning all!

I'm searching for tips on how to wear a procedure mask in the chairlifts (thanks to COVID :( ). With the helmet on, it's been a challenge to figure out how to do that. Up to now, I've been putting the mask on with the earlobes under the helmet and kept it while skiing, but it gets wet very rapidly, which is not good at it diminishes the protection offered by the mask. I've seen some ski instructors with hooks on their helmets, but don't know where they got this.
What are your tips?

If you've got some tech-y friends, they may be able to 3D print you a set of clips that fit on the ear straps; I've seen some folks sew buttons directly onto the earflaps, too.

The cheap and easy method is to use Command Hooks. Attach them to your helmet and just loop the ear loops over the hook. Available at target, Walmart, drug stores, hardware stores and pretty much everywhere.

Also, put a gauze or tissue between your mouth and the mask to absorb moisture, then change it out regularly.

Command hooks x4… it makes the mask easier to … pivots up and down easily… I use small decor hooks - very small, almost invisible.

I got clips that go onto the helmet strap for a tween I ski with at my home hill. She's been quite happy with using them.

Tried it yesterday and it worked fine! Thanks.

Masks for skiing

Well, I know we all love to shop! With Vails announcement of requiring skiiers to wear masks, I’m thinking some of us have a new gear item to purchase. For myself, i don’t think my regular baclava will suffice. Have you guys started thinking about this, seen anything online you think would...

i sewed an extra layer inside my face covering. Then i keep a spare mask or two in my pocket for indoors. But I love the command hook idea. The mini clear ones would look great.
