Spring is the time to accessorize. Off come the layers and on comes the sunscreen. The sun shines longer and the temperatures are a far cry from the sub-freezing single digits of January. Here are some suggestions for making the best of spring skiing.
Salomon Corduroy II Pant
$160
www.salomonsports.com
The Clima Pro 2L Corduroy pant has a 10K waterproof/breathable fabric, 100 percent taped seams and utility pockets for the comfort and casual look preferred for spring skiing.
Bolle King Sunglasses
$69-$109

To protect the eyes from the double glare of spring skiing and look great on the deck, the Bolle King fills the bill. The nylon frame is strong, lightweight and flexible for a solid yet soft fit. The polycarbonate lenses are lighter yet more impact resistant than ordinary glass. They can be ordered with prescription lenses for $69, polarized $109. Prescription lenses extra.
Swix F4 Paste Wax

Having a wax that is easy to apply at the mountain is a necessity for changing spring conditions. This pocket-size container of F4 Universal Paste Wax with an applicator pad inside makes it easy. Apply, polish and go.
Kombi Backcountry II
