There’s so much snow on the mountains! Every year is more exciting than the previous one, new snow, new season, and new tricks to learn on the slopes. Here at Rockies we have been working hard to help you get prepared for the winter. Lots of snow gear has arrived from high quality brands such as Quiksilver, Roxy, O’Neill, Marmot, Billabong, DC, Burton, Cross, Surfanic, Icebreaker and more. 

The top layers, ski jackets, pants and overalls, range from 5K to 20K in the water resistance and breathability rating. All snow gear will definitely keep you dry from inside and outside. We have one piece snowsuits available from 6 months to age 6/7 years.  Pants and jackets range from size 2 all the way up to size 16. Come and check out our huge colourful selection!

 No snow outfit is complete without warm gloves and a comfy beanie. We loose most of our body heat through our head, so a warm beanie is a must to stay cozy. Gloves and mittens range from street wear to very warm waterproof styles suitable for the mountain environment.  

It is important not to forget about the base layer. The right kind of layering keeps you dry and the body temperature even under the top layers. Icebreaker offers soft, warm and sweat-resistant Merino tops, leggings, socks, beanies and neck warmers for boys and girls from age 1 to 16. The Icebreaker tops come in different weights from lightweight Bodyfit 200 crews to thicker Realfleece 260 pure Merino hoodies.

Last but not least are socks and snow boots. Ski/snowboard socks are made from breathable water resistant materials to keep the feet dry and well protected against the cold. Snow boots come in all different colours and sizes, perfect to wear on your way to the mountains!

 We hope you have a season full of winter fun! With the right gear there’s no need to worry about what the thermometer shows – above or below zero. :)
