Mine idea of a vacation including lying on a sandy beach in a bikini, doing as few acts as humanely as possible. After live in New York for almost a decade and fighting against the snow every winter, I’ve done my duty to proactively avoid having to cross the slippery ice and extreme cold vortex level. But somehow, my best friend lured me into doing what I’ve been most avoiding for the past few years: going into the snow and going on a vacation, nothing more. Before the cold weather completely passed, we were headed for the snowy mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. And of course, being in a snowy resort town means skiing and snowboarding — I couldn’t be more excited (reluctantly).
While this trip certainly requires me to come out of my shell and embrace something new, I’m looking forward to planning my outfit. As a first-time skier, I have absolutely no idea what to include in my suitcase, but thanks to a bit of shopping research, I have plenty of style inspiration to refer to.
It seems like every fashionista in existence has taken a ski trip this season, and to my advantage, I was able to discover pieces of fashion that nailed the quintessential ski aesthetic. drug. At least if I fail to slide downhill (which I fully expect btw) I’ll look good doing it. Below, I’ve gathered 24 winter weather basics that I have for my upcoming trip. Big Aspen vibrates ahead.
