1. Choose your outfit carefully

You've chosen cross-country skiing and now you're at the top of the first hill, out of breath, flushed cheeks, and gloves in your pockets. Are you feeling hot?!

Forget the alpine ski suit, there's no need to wear tights (like the pros or some locals), but opt ​​for lighter, airtight clothing.

2. Tie your gloves

You've already done 18 bobsled rides with your little one in it, and now, just as you're about to go home, you realize your toddler has lost a glove! It's off again to find the glove.

To avoid having to retrace your steps in search of the glove(s), hang them on a string or, failing that, on a lace and pass everything inside the jacket.

3. Attach your package

You're downhill or cross-country skiing, you start the descent and then there's that damned ski pass that hits you in the face.

Clip the pass to a pocket rather than the main zipper of your jacket.

4. Defrost your windshield

Oh, no choice! We'll have to scrape it off; the windshield is frozen solid. The loyalty card helps, but it doesn't get you anywhere very fast, and your fingertips are freezing.

Consider using a scraper to remove ice from your windshield and a brush to remove snow from your car.

5. Take out your shoes

Starting a day of skiing with your feet in frozen boots – literally, yes, it's possible – doesn't put you in the best position...

Don't forget to leave your ski boots in the car overnight and keep them warm.

6. Stay behind the snowplow

And sh…! Here we are behind the snowplow! Come on, let's overtake!

Bad idea!... Behind the snowplow, we're patient, we're better off on the clear road.
