Don't Try This. Common Gear Handing Mistakes

Sounds like poorly made base layer.

In a “new to skiing” section, I don’t see this as a must but a maybe. If there’s wrinkles and the base layer hurts, fold it up. Assuming you can and it’s not too tight when folded.

I never ever have base layers in my boots. Socks and foot only!!

Yours or His base layers???

Most people starting out are probably going to have plenty of room for a base layer over socks. Just don’t get it all wrinkled.

The number of people that show up with sweat pants, regular pants, and even the stretchy snow cuff crammed inside their boot cuff is large.

Don't forget to lift your wipers and any other cars in the lot.

Bringing a shovel is a good idea, too. You'll definitely know why when it happens.
