What is the purpose of ski masks?

Answer by  mii (237)

A ski mask is used for skiing or just when it is incredibly cold. I used to live in upstate NY and people wore them to shovel the snow out of the driveway. For the most part they keep the face from being frost bitten, so use when extremely cold

Ski masks cover the entire face except for the eyes and mouth. If you are skiing, they will keep your face warm and still let you see and talk.
