The question isn't whether we're ready for the mountain but if it is ready for us. When we strap the Helly Hansen Jr Mitten 2. 0 onto our little ripper's hands, we might as well strap ourselves in as well because the float show has just begun. Waterproof construction and lofty warmth will keep our compact carvers running hot laps no matter how cold it gets, which means we might want to fill a thermos with some hot cocoa or coffee to keep up.
