You need three things to take your young kids skiing: a constant stream of hot chocolate, M&M’s for the lift ride, and a good hat to keep them warm. Because the fastest way to end an epic ski day with your family is to have a kid who’s complaining about being cold. So, to help keep you and your family on the hill longer, here are our favorite kid’s winter hats.
