Has anyone looked into the best masks for wearing as you are skiing downhill? I was hoping to only have to wear a mask while in the lift line and on the lift, then take it off while skiing. GP says masks all the time. There must be some good ones out there.

Could that make any less sense? So, you dont need a mask when eating indoors, but you need one when skiing outside?

I've been wearing neck gaiters for years. There are plenty of options, including lighter weight/thinner options. Not sure how well polyester works for preventing microbes from spreading but anything cotton is probably not going to work well. This is the one aspect of this season that will be a non-issue for me! Except for spring skiing, at that point I would just wear my regular two ply cotton regular face masks that I wear at work.

My friend tried out a Bioskin at Big SNOW a couple times and liked it well enough. She kept it on the entire 2-hour session. Of course, no wind to deal with indoors. Temp is kept at 28 degrees.
Interesting that GP wants people to wear a mask all the time except eating. Here's the general guidelines on the I Ski NY website. Of course a ski resort can require more than the basics. NSAA Ski Well Be Well calls for a mask when loading and unloading or any time can't stay at least 6 feet from strangers.

If you feel like getting into the scientific thinking that goes into choosing fabrics or a combination of fabrics that are best for keeping in, or out, particles that can carry SARS-CoV-2 virus, here's an article from MIT written in early August.
