“Embracing the thrill of crisp, snow-covered slopes and the cozy charm of alpine lodges, a ski trip promises adventure and relaxation in equal measure. But to make the most of your winter wonderland getaway, it all starts with packing smartly. In this guide, we'll help you navigate the essentials, from cozy layers to must-have gear, ensuring your ski vacation is a smooth and stylish ride from start to finish.”
⛷On the Slopes Clothing/Accessories:
Waterproof and insulated pants, jacket and gloves (inner liners too). You will want this for the snow. If it soaks up any air/moisture from the snow you will be damp and miserable.
Eye protection. Trust me, the snow will be bright. Ski Goggles work way better than sunglasses on the slopes and you will want some with an anti-fog coating.
Breathable base layers made of moisture-wicking fabric. These will keep you warm while getting rid of any sweat. I advise to wear at least 2 layers - you can always take one off.
Thick, wool socks. You can also get toe warmers to make sure they don’t get too cold.
You will probably get a helmet with your equipment - use this!
Neck gaiter/scarf. Your face will feel the cold wind going down the mountain.
❄️Après Ski:
Waterproof snow boots with a good tread.
Warm hats/scarves/gloves/socks.
Cozy and warm sweaters/hoodies/loungewear and pajamas.
Fleece lined everything! Especially leggings to go under pants.
SUNSCREEN! And Chapstick with SPF. Sunburns happen much faster in thinner air with high elevation.
Lotion. You will end up like a prune without it in the dry/frigid air.
Swim suit for the hot tub!
If you want any specific requisites, just ask! Happy Snow Days!
