You might think you know all the tips that make a better skier, but do you know where to stow your PB&J; so it doesn’t get squished before lunchtime?
Skiing magazine includes this valuable bit of info in “Tips, Tricks, and Advice.”

About that sandwich? Don’t stuff into into your jacket pocket. Instead, keep it safe in your pants. “Unzip the outer thigh vent and slip your sandwich behind your knee so it drops to your calf,” the article says. Your gaiter will prevent it from falling out and from getting flattened.

Protect your shins by wedging a neoprene beer cozy between your leg and the front of your boot before you tighten the straps.
Freshen your stinky ski boots after a long day by placing dryer sheets in them.
