Essentials
Core essentials for this trip
- Base layers, mid layers, and a shell system that can adapt to changing mountain weather
- Gloves, goggles, helmet planning, and spare warm socks that actually fit the boots
- Après-ski clothing for dinners, lodge time, and indoor recovery
- Lip balm, sunscreen, and skin protection because cold sun still burns hard
- A prebuilt checklist so expensive gear is not left behind on rushed departures
Avoid these
Common mistakes to avoid
- Packing the obvious ski clothes but forgetting the accessories that make the day work.
- Assuming the resort will solve every missing item without added cost or poor fit.
- Ignoring the non-ski part of the trip and ending up uncomfortable after the slopes close.
