OUTERWEAR

FRC (Flame Retardant Clothing) parkas and bibs are provided for all employees on the Slope. These are excellent outerwear garments and when combined with proper under-layers, will protect riders from cold, wind chill and frostbite. There are many man-made materials that provide good insulation, and there is always goose down, successfully used for years. Whatever you choose, make sure that it is tough enough to handle the arctic environment. Hoods with fur ruffs can really help. The air in the "snorkel" warms up enough to breath comfortably.
