So I'm going snowboarding for the first time on Saturday and it's supposed to be around 33-43 degrees. Would snowboarders/skiers see these temperatures toward the warmer or cooler side? To me they are quite warm, since I'm used to figure skating in 28-30 degree weather in a hoodie and long sleeved tee. I was planning on wearing a hoodie under my jacket and snow pants with Under Armour. Is this a good idea for this weather? Haha, I'm new to this, so thanks :)

to me thats warm, and at those temps i usually just wear a longsleeve shirt and thin pants underneath my jacket and snowpants. Your current plan should be good, but bring extra layers in case you need them or you want something thinner than a hoodie

Its definitley on the warmer side. Make sure you wear layers so just incase you get too hot you can take off a layer. Make sure you wear warm gloves, insulated socks, and something around your neck because thats what gets cold easiest. Have fun!

^^^Dude, have you ever been boarding ALL day? Like a 9:00-9:00? some hills are open longer than that... in any case, i might persist with snowboarding for that day, on the grounds which you're gonna be on your butt particularly plenty, and you gets truly moist if the snow is slushy. often, if the snow is definitely moist, it will certainly make you pass slower. I nonetheless pass if that's moist, yet once you're gaining information of, it ought to no longer be the terrific journey.

I think its warm. Snow begins to melt with temps above 32. Which is the point in which water freezes. So you shouldn't need to much underneath your clothes. Because u will begin to sweat. I say just wear something that will wick the sweat away from your body. Cuz the more sweat the colder your body will get. So just wear the underarmour clothes.

Sounds about right. Dont forget gloves and a hat! It gets really cold going down the hill fast, and sometimes snow comes off teh trees and stuff so better to bring more clothes and take them off as necessary

Warmer.... Def.



Dress in layers.... You can always take off a shell or a hoodie. Under armor is always great.
