skiing into the winter

I LOVE skiing, it's the only sport I actually look forward to. I wait for ski season to come around every year. I have been skiing since I was little, so here are some questions, answered.

what is the best brand for ski clothes?

I think you should research what brand suits your style. But I like Burton even though the coats in their collection this year are a bit too long for my taste, but this year I found a jacket from them that is a good length. 

what is the best pant type?

I like a pants that tightens in the thighs and knees and loosens in the ankles. This year I am using Burton but in the past couple of years I used a brand not as well known. 

how do you stay warm while skiing?

I use L.L Bean hand warmers, last year my family used a brand that half way through the day would crack open and you whole mitten would be black. We switched to these and they work so well and stay warm for a really long time. For feet warmers, I use Hot Hands, their feet warmers are really warm and the adhesive sticks on really strong.
