I always try to travel in comfy clothes. This Womens Teddy Cropped Faux Fur Jacket was just the right combo of comfy & warm. I recommend washing it first though to prevent lint. 

I also wore the jacket with a Skims dupe crop top that comes in a ton of colors.  

Thursday, Feb 9: Day 2 - Skiing 

Weather: High 27, Low 14

Ski Bridger Bowl!

This mountain was challenging; it is steep and the greens are actually blues, the blues are actually blacks and so on. However, I would go back a million times if I did private lessons again with Coach Pete. He was the best instructor and private lessons were the most affordable we've ever found.

3. Sam Edelman Parka
