In the Northwest the ski areas are starting to get snow and that means that winter is almost here. While most people hate the snow it is a great time for those of who love to ski. This year my kids will be skiing for their second year so we will be heading up to some of the local mountains like Silver Moutain, 49 Degrees North, and Schweitzer. We got them their new ski gear and outerwear so that even during the colder days they will stay comfortable. We got my daughter a purple snow jacket from the The North Face company which is one of the leaders in ski and snowboard wear. There are outfits online like breckgear.com that are promoting some of the newest jackets from North Face and offering free shipping on orders over $50. So this winter don’t let the cold weather keep you in and venture out with the family your local ski area and have some great fun.
