When the snow falls, the mountain calls. Ski season is upon us. The moment your favorite slopes open, you’ll be there. If they open on a workday, you’ll call in with “ski fever.” The only cure is making those first tracks through fresh powder.

Get ready for ski season with Outdoor Research. Since 1981, they’ve been outfitting skiers, snowboarders, and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds with exceptional cold-weather gear. As the snowpack starts to build, you can find everything you need to enjoy the slopes all day long.

Whether you’re looking for light, breathable base layers or you’re interested in durable women’s and mens rain jackets or ski parkas, Outdoor Research has every angle—and layer—covered. Here’s how you can stay warm, comfortable, and agile on the mountain.

Maximize Comfort with a Soft, Comfortable Base Layer

Anticipating a cold day on the mountain? Start with a base layer that balances warmth with breathability and stretch. The Outdoor Research Alpine Onset Merino 150 Crew and the Alpine Onset Merino 150 Bottoms (in men’s, women’s, and plus sizes) strike the perfect balance.

Made with a merino wool blend (53% merino wool/42% polyester/5% lycra), this base layer moves with you and helps wick away moisture as you warm up throughout the day. You can also find the Alpine Onset Merino 150 in a hoodie design for even more warmth and comfort.

Want something a little lighter? The Echo T-shirt is another great base layer option. This sun shirt is incredibly lightweight, breathable, and consistent when it comes to wicking away moisture. And it makes a great base layer under your other Outdoor Research gear!

Find Your Perfect Fleece

Fleece can make an excellent mid layer on the mountain. It can help you stay warm and comfortable all day long. Plus, Outdoor Research fleece pullovers and half-zips are designed to keep up with your every move.

The Outdoor Research Deviator Fleece Half Zip, for instance, features an intuitive design that’s moisture-wicking and quick-drying. It’s also very lightweight—all while delivering a remarkable level of warmth. It may just be your ultimate mid layer.

The Deviator Fleece Half Zip—along with many other Outdoor Research fleece Polartec® options—can be worn under just about any outer garment, including rain jackets, insulated jackets, and ski parkas. Your favorite Outdoor Research fleece can also serve as your outer layer as you say goodbye to the slopes for the day and relax by the fire.
