My friends and l are going skiing at Ober Gatlinburg in Gatlinburg, TN. l have looked on the website & cannot tell if it is artificial snow or not. It does not say the appropriate wear for skiing either. l have waterproof clothes- but some of my friends don't. What would be the correct outfit for skiing if you can not afford to buy new waterproof clothes & other things?

P.S- l need a full wardrobe!

In Tennessee the majority of the snow will be artificial.
Any clothes that might be water repellant are good, if you do not have anything like that at least do not wear clothes that hold water (i.e. cotton). You can buy thin water resistant pants anywhere for around 20 bucks. Go check out Wal-mart or some place similar.

l just went skiing this past weekend. We stayed in Gatlinburg but we went skiing at Cataloochee in Maggie Valley, NC. l know for sure that Ober is artificial but, my ski instructor said that the artificial is better to ski on sometimes than the real stuff. We had artificial in Cataloochee & it was great! We rented ski clothes for $16 which included the pants & jacket. Two of the people who track suits & jeans in our Ski class & they were soaked within an hour from falling in the snow & it melting on thier clothes. Rental shops could be located in pigeon forge or gatlinburg. They dont necassarily have to be ski clothes they can jsut be water resistant. We loved skiing so much that we r planning another trip to go back in a month! Have Fun!!!
