Complete ski trip packing for the slopes, safety, and après-ski.

• Assemble layering system

  Plan base, mid, and outer layers for warmth, moisture control, and breathability.

• Pack base layers (moisture-wicking)

  Bring merino or synthetic tops and bottoms; avoid cotton.

• Pack insulating mid layers (fleece or down)

  Choose packable options you can layer for changing temps.

• Pack waterproof/breathable shell jacket and pants

  Windproof, taped seams and vents help manage warmth and moisture.

• Pack ski boots and boot accessories

  Bring your boots, bag, and any custom footbeds or spare buckles.

• Pack extra insoles and boot liners

  Use tried-and-true insoles to prevent blisters; avoid brand-new inserts.

• Reserve or confirm ski/board rental or transport

  Verify sizes, pickup/drop-off times, and any insurance or extras.

• Pack helmet and goggles

  Ensure helmet fits properly; bring a spare goggle lens for low light.

• Pack insulated waterproof gloves or mittens

  Choose gloves rated for skiing; mittens for extra warmth in very cold weather.

  Thin liners add dexterity and extra warmth on cold days.

• Pack avalanche safety kit if going off-piste

  Carry beacon, probe, and shovel only with training and local guidance.
