country Herald Columnist COUNTRY SKIING II is important to control the loss of body heal if you arc on the trail for a prolonged period of lime to do so could result hypothermia the body Inability maintain an adequate tempera ture One is insulated not by but by the air trapped within it Therefore the layer of clothing next lo the skin should layer of air to surround the body Fishnet style underclothing or underwear woven to give a waffle pattern are both good Secondary layers of clothing shirts and sweaters must retain body heat while absorbing body moisture and transmitting it to the outside evaporate Since the weather may change continuously while you ore skiing you will have to control your body temperature by adding or removing clothing types of clothing which can be put on or removed while on the You will need a wind proof outer layer of clothing when it is windy or when you are skiing quickly on long downhills You should also carry spare socks and inner gloves to change

intended for light touring and racing If I to detail all the clothing that is available today I would have lo write another book on the subject Hey Maybe a good Seriously though I only intend to highlight trends and new developments in clothing The final decision on what you buy is up to you From a personal viewpoint I dress In underwear with a track suit over top In extreme cold I may odd a woo sweater for added warmth I guess I stilt adhere to my old KISS philosophy Keep It Simple Slupid and 1 11 probably never change Anyway since the ladies like to look pretty and the guys suave in
