World Snow Day might not be a day you have heard of before, but it something that 44 countries around the globe will take part in this year
Organised by the International Ski Federation, it is part of a campaign to introduce children to snow and to sports that take place on snow, and it will take place on January 16 this year.
As part of this you may be inspired to get involved with such alpine activities and there are a number of clothes that will need to be worn for the task.
We've highlighted a number of items that would be useful for skiiing or other alpine sports, as well as winter clothes in general.
Clothes to buy for World Snow Day
If you're looking for items specific to skiing, then Matches Fashion can help you out.
For example, a Fusalp Mathilde chevron-stripe padded ski jacket is well suited to the conditions of the slopes and features a wide spread collar, snow-gaiter cuffs and zip pockets.
A women's jacket of that costs £650 from the Matches Fashion website.
Additionally, Fusalp can also provide some Pace Eyes logo-jacquard ski goggles alongside that for £210 and some Bogner Chamonix shearling and suede snow boots for £470.
If you're looking for winter clothes that are slightly less pricy then Asos have a few options for you.
For example, these XTI lace up snow boots in black currently have an almost half price deal on, currently costing £42 which is down from £80.
Those aren't the only well-priced snow boots you can get your hands on, as these Truffle Collection high leg snow boots in black mono print currently have 20% off and cost £30.
Alternatively, if you're not looking for snow boots, then you can get this Burton Covert ski jacket in grey for £148, which is currently down from £185.
More options come for ski/skate boots with the Adult Cross Country Ski Skate Boot - XC S Skate Boots 900.
This has 56% off on the Decathlon website at the moment, down from £229.99 to £99.99.
Additionally, if you are looking to get your very youngest interested in snow sports then Selfridges have some Toddler’s Whitney II logo-print shell snow boots for one to three year old.
They are on the pricy side costing £80, but they are woven with 200g worth of insulation and have removable molded EVA footbed with micro-fleece top-cover.
