You should wear clothes that will keep you warm and dry during ski and snowboarding activities. That’s especially important if you end up falling a couple of times as many beginners do. We highly recommend staying away from wearing cotton clothing (jeans, sweatpants, sweatshirts, etc.) next to your skin, because it will absorb sweat and snow and make you cold. 

That's why wool or acrylic socks are better than cotton socks. Wear one thin pair. There are many shops in Auli which provide you the best clothes for rent for skiing and snowboarding activities.
