Last week we published a basic guide to kid jackets, collecting and publishing a handful of favorites from other outdoor enthusiasts. This is the follow up post, as today I am sharing #OutdoorFamilies favorite ski and snow pants. Updated as of Winter 2016/2017  Click on the photos below for a link to a more detailed review or retail information!  [row] [two-thirds alpha=“on”]

[/two-thirds] [one-third omega=“on”] “The L.L. Bean 3-in-1 snowpant is a layering system that includes a super warm fleece liner pant that can be worn with or without the waterproof shell pant. This is a great pant for those needing super warm pants part of the season and lighter weight pants later in the spring. The outer pant has great details like reinforced knees, and rear and side pockets. A perfect pant for the wide variety of conditions found in the Rockies.” - Kid Project [/one-third] [/row] [row] [two-thirds alpha=“on”]

[/two-thirds] [one-third omega=“on”] “Columbia Bibs with OmniShield: Columbia Bibs with Omnishield have performed awesomely, both in keeping my toddler warm and dry without being bulky. I like bibs because they stay up while keep snow from going where it shouldn’t. The shoulder straps are highly adjustable, allowing us to get multiple years of use. They also added small things like velcro straps to tighten the waist and thick reinforced fabric between the legs.” - Kid Project [/one-third] [/row] [row] [two-thirds alpha=“on”]

[/two-thirds] [one-third omega=“on”] “Ducksday Rain Suit for mild winters: I love Ducksday because it keeps my little guy warm and dry without having to pack loads upon loads of extra clothes. Their layering system is ideal for families who spend lots of time outside in varying weather conditions.” - Cragmama [/one-third] [/row] [row] [two-thirds alpha=“on”]

[/two-thirds] [one-third omega=“on”] “Spyder Ski Pants Best ski pants ever for kids? Spyder pants with full side zips. Originally designed for kids who ski race, full zips are one of those features that make quick changes easier. With the zips, you can unzip the pant leg from waist to ankle, meaning you can take off the pants without having to step out of the ski boots.” - Kristin at BraveSkiMom [/one-third] [/row] [row] [two-thirds alpha=“on”]

[/two-thirds] [one-third omega=“on”] “Trespass Snow Pants We happened across Trespass Kid’s Ski Pants on a sale rack a few years ago and love them. These unisex pants come with optional suspenders that keep them up and in place and provides some protection from snow going up their back. The inner snow cuff around the ankle works well with ski boots and snow boots alike. They are a great combination of warmth, performance, price and style.” -Kid Project [/one-third] [/row] [row] [two-thirds alpha=“on”]

[/two-thirds] [one-third omega=“on”] “What we loved about Snow Dragon Bib: -Wide shoulder straps and a high neckline that prevent it from falling off the shoulders (a common problem with traditional bibs). The soft fleece upper that will add a nice extra layer of insulation -  Grow Cuffs in the legs – perfect for my tall girl -  Waterproof pants with reinforced knees - Jessica at Bring-the-Kids [/one-third] [/row] [row] [two-thirds alpha=“on”]

  [/two-thirds] [one-third omega=“on”] Ducksday Snowpants - “These are high quality ski pants at a great price! I love the velcro straps for tightening up the waist and the zippered leg which makes getting boots on and off with the snow cuff easy. Ducksday adds reflective detailing, great for those dark evening sledding trips! These pants are warm, with attractive fabric, reinforced inner legs and great moisture management!” - Alyssa from Kid Project [/one-third] [/row] [row] [two-thirds alpha=“on”]

[/two-thirds] [one-third omega=“on”] “MEC Toaster Suit: The MEC toaster suit comes in sizes from 6 months all the way up to size 6 for children. Like a toasty bunting suit, your child will stay warm without any gaps for snow to get in. Because it has no attached feet, children can wear normal boots too, which we appreciate.” - Tanya at Family Adventures in the Canadian Rockies [/one-third] [/row] [row] [two-thirds alpha=“on”]

[/two-thirds] [one-third omega=“on”] “We like the Helly Hansen Jr Legend Pant because they have reinforced knees, optional loops to go around boots when needed but can be removed otherwise. They come in an insulated version which is great in the winter and also a rain version perfect for spring, summer and mud… Most recently our oldest started wearing Jr Legend Pants. He likes that they aren’t bib style as he’s seven now and wants to be less like a little kid.” -Sharon at Active Kids Active Family [/one-third] [/row]
