  1. Assemble layering system — Plan base, mid, and outer layers for warmth, moisture control, and breathability.
  2. Pack base layers (moisture-wicking) — Bring merino or synthetic tops and bottoms; avoid cotton.
  3. Pack insulating mid layers (fleece or down) — Choose packable options you can layer for changing temps.
  4. Pack waterproof/breathable shell jacket and pants — Windproof, taped seams and vents help manage warmth and moisture.
  5. Pack ski boots and boot accessories — Bring your boots, bag, and any custom footbeds or spare buckles.
  6. Pack extra insoles and boot liners — Use tried-and-true insoles to prevent blisters; avoid brand-new inserts.
  7. Reserve or confirm ski/board rental or transport — Verify sizes, pickup/drop-off times, and any insurance or extras.
  8. Pack helmet and goggles — Ensure helmet fits properly; bring a spare goggle lens for low light.
  9. Pack insulated waterproof gloves or mittens — Choose gloves rated for skiing; mittens for extra warmth in very cold weather.
  10. Pack glove liners — Thin liners add dexterity and extra warmth on cold days.
  11. Pack avalanche safety kit if going off-piste — Carry beacon, probe, and shovel only with training and local guidance.
  12. Pack sunscreen, lip balm with SPF, and sunglasses — High SPF and UV protection for face and lips; snow increases UV exposure.
  13. Gather travel documents: lift pass, ID, travel insurance — Include passport/ID, booking references, and emergency contact info.
  14. Screenshot and print lift pass and booking confirmations — Keep digital and printed copies in a waterproof sleeve or folder.
  15. Pack a small repair kit and ski straps — Include multi-tool, zip ties, spare straps, and tape for quick fixes.
  16. Charge and pack electronics and portable battery — Bring chargers, spare batteries, and waterproof cases for cameras/phones.
  17. Pack après-ski layers and sturdy city snow boots — Warm casual layers and dry shoes for evenings and town strolls.
  18. Pack snacks, a refillable water bottle, and thermos — High-energy snacks and insulated bottle help during long lift days.
  19. Prepare vehicle winter kit: chains, ice scraper, and shovel — Carry chains, scraper, shovel, and a warm blanket if driving to the resort.
