Spanish term or phrase: (Anticipate al invierno.) Tendras tu recompensa.
I'm looking for a catchy ad slogan here. I'm happy with the first part, but am open to suggestions. It's the second but that's giving me a headache. TIA! For an international audience.

Gear up for winter now. You'll be glad you did!


Explanation:
I know that you turned the translation in, but the question is still open, and I think that this suggestion compares favorably with those offered thus far.

"Gear up" in a ski context strikes me as an appropriate "visceral" and "concrete" term, suggesting as it does purchasing and/or preparing the needed equipment and clothing.

Suerte.

agree  Stephanie Ament: Being a resident of Colorado, I can identify with "gear up for winter". I'd eliminate "now", though, and just leave it at that.
