Things You'll Need:
- Waterproof Mittens
- Ski Clothing
- Ski Equipment

Step 1
Search for a mitten with an elastic or a drawstring cuff. Any device that keeps snow out of the mitten is a huge plus. It's hard to keep hands warm when snow sneaks in.
-
Step 2
Look at mittens that have some type of water-resistant or waterproof capabality. Keep in mind that when gloves get wet, the hands inside get cold.
-
Step 3
Think about purchasing mittens that have an inner glove or mitten. An extra layer contributes to warmth without adding much bulk. And the mittens dry more easily if the liner pulls out.
-
Step 4
Check the other special features of the mittens. Some have a pouch that hold heat packets for those especially cold days.
-
Step 5
Weigh the cost of an excellent pair of mittens versus that of an average pair of mittens. Remember that, like socks in a dryer, mittens seem to easily lose their partners.
