Gear for Lift-Served Skiing and All-Day Comfort

Resort skiing means spending your day on groomed runs accessed by chairlifts and gondolas—where warmth during cold lift rides and protection from variable mountain weather matter most. Arc'teryx resort gear is designed specifically for this experience, prioritizing insulation, wind resistance, and all-day comfort over the breathability and lightweight construction needed for backcountry touring.

Resort Essentials

These pieces are essential for lift-served skiing because they address the unique demands of resort days. Windproof construction blocks bitter chairlift gusts, while powder skirts seal out snow during deep turns. Helmet-compatible hoods with StormHood™ technology provide full coverage without restricting vision, and RECCO® reflectors offer an added layer of safety on the mountain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear for cold resort days? Layer an insulated jacket over a moisture-wicking base layer, paired with waterproof insulated pants. Add a midlayer for extremely cold days below -15°C.

Do I need an insulated jacket for lift-served skiing? Yes. Unlike touring where exertion generates heat, resort skiing involves extended periods of sitting on chairlifts where insulation prevents heat loss.

What's the difference between resort and touring gear? Resort gear prioritizes warmth and weather protection for lift-accessed skiing. Touring gear emphasizes breathability and light weight for climbing under your own power.
