Well, it’s official, the ski season has begun in a few provinces across Canada. We knew wearing face coverings this season was going to be mandatory, and even wrote about it a few months ago. Wearing face-coverings in the lift line, on the chair lifts, and anywhere where you’ll be in close contact with people will be mandatory this year. Good news is, wearing a ski mask on the hills is nothing new to most of us! After healthcare workers, us skiers and snowboarders are pretty experience when it comes to covering our face. That’s because a good ski mask or cache-cou will blocks the wind, keeps are and keeps our face super warm.
I’ve been doing my research to find the best ski masks in 2020, because let’s face it, skiing and snowboarding will certainly be different this year. And I have found a few different options to protect yourself and others at the hill this ski season.
