“Ah, I’ll be alright,” they say as they leave the chalet, dressed in jeans and a couple of hoodies, “I went to Blackpool in September once, I can cope with the cold.”
Just like you shouldn’t overdress for the mountains, you don’t want to end up soaking wet and cold, stuck in a blizzard in nothing but a cheap shell from Sports Direct. A proper jacket and pants, designed for use on snow is key.
