Fans of active winter sports can spend a few days or a full vacation in Transcarpathia, settling in a cozy estate "Two Brothers"

Ski goggles
and masks
Why do you need ski goggles?
Goggles or a mask protect the eyes from ultraviolet rays. At high altitudes, their strength is significantly higher, especially given the reflection from the snow. And, of course, ski goggles protect your eyes from falling snow and wind when you roll down at speed
How to make glasses and masks not sweat?
Apply a dry piece of ordinary soap to the lenses on the outside and inside. Then wipe thoroughly with a soft cloth / napkin. Due to this, a protective film is formed on the surface to prevent fogging.
How to wear a ski mask?
Try to keep the mask dry inside, because even the best anti-fog coating in the world will mist up when wet, so try to remove the mask less while skating. Shifting the mask on your head if you are wearing a hat or helmet can cause the lenses to fog up.

helmets
How to choose the right helmet?
Choose a helmet that weighs less; pay attention to the overall quality of processing. Try to measure as many helmets of different brands as possible. Try not to buy a helmet with protruding parts, although they can look cool and stylish - choose a smooth streamlined helmet.

What to wear under a ski helmet?

What to take with you
going on a ski vacation
We have selected for you the most necessary for a safe, comfortable and unforgettable vacation.
Water and Windproof Pants and Jackets
For skiing or snowboarding, clothes must "breathe". Snow skirts will prevent snow from getting inside after a heavy snowfall. And ventilation holes under the armpits and on the legs will protect against overheating on sunny days.
Thermal underwear
These thin jackets and leggings fit snugly to the body, protect from the cold better than thick ski jackets.
Gloves
Be sure to bring waterproof gloves or mittens to keep your hands from freezing on the slopes.
Ski socks
It is important to have comfortable and warm ski socks in your boots. They should be long and fit exactly so that they do not fit inside. It is also important not to wear layered socks - it will be harder to manage skis.
Gator, Buffy or Scarves
If the slopes become windy, it is important to provide additional protection for the neck. They can be used to protect not only the neck but also the face.
Ski goggles or sunglasses
It is very important to protect your eyes on the slopes, because snow-covered surfaces reflect light much more than what our eyes are used to. A pair of ski goggles or sunglasses with tinted polarized lenses will help protect your eyes.
Helmet
When skiing or snowboarding, wear a helmet. It's like a seat belt while driving. Good helmets can be found in sports shops, but if you do not want to buy them, you can rent at the estate "Two Brothers".
Sunscreen
Sunscreen with a factor of at least 50 should be used, especially on sunny days. Do not forget that the sun's rays are reflected from the snow, as a result, you can get burns. Do not leave the skin unprotected!
Protective equipment
More advanced skiers and snowboarders like to use protective gear when skiing at higher speeds. Snowboarders often use protection for the wrists and hands or protective shorts to avoid the most common injuries when snowboarding.
Backpack
Great for storing sunscreen, camera, thermal underwear and other accessories.
Be careful with any loose belts on lifts and other vehicles
