Hypothermia

One of the most basic snowboarding mistakes new riders make is dressing improperly. Jeans and a Carhartt jacket are not recommended gear when snowboarding because they are made of cotton and cotton absorbs water and will freeze causing the wearer to get cold.

Dressing in layers is the best approach when snowboarding. Proper layering helps when we start to get warm we can shed a layer to keep our body temperature regulated. On the other side if we start to get cold we can add a layer.
