SKI & WINTER | CALIFORNIA
Skiing do's -- and one don't
Tips for first-timers
* Use snap-on mittens for younger skiers.
* Apply sunscreen, even on cloudy days.
* Dress in layers; temperatures at Southern California resorts can go from the teens to the 50s in a hurry.
* Take a handkerchief (for runny noses).
* Keep your head swiveling to watch out for other skiers.
* Wear a helmet.
* Don't ski faster than your skill level allows.
* Take a camera; at this stage, photo-ops are plentiful.
