Ski Clothing / Equipment That You Cannot Do Without

If you’re currently planning a ski trip then, firstly, let us say, we’re very jealous. Skiing is great fun and you’re sure to love it. It also involves quite a lot of equipment, so we’ve put together a little guide of the key things you should take on any ski trip. Firstly, thermal underwear is always a really good inclusion for your luggage as the best ski resorts are generally in locations where it’s pretty cold. Wearing thermals means you’ll need fewer layers.

A good winter jacket is also a key part of any ski trip, so make sure you get yourself a decent ski jacket to keep you warm. They’re especially designed for the weather conditions when skiing so a ski jacket will be ideal as well as being really breathable when you’re moving around. They’re not as bulky as they used to be either, so you’ll be able to look cool and streamlined. Plus they have loads of pockets, which is sure to come in handy.

You should also remember to pack a decent sweater to help keep out the chill even when you’re not on the ski slopes. Something thick is a really good idea as it will prevent the wind getting in even when it’s really cold. You could also go for a super soft and warm microfleece sweater as these are great for keeping you warm with only a small amount of material, making them both efficient for their purpose and ideal for packing into your suitcase.

While you’ll be able to hire your skis, ski poles and other major equipment at your chosen ski resort, it’s a good idea to take some of the accessories with you so you have them to hand. For example, you should make sure to take a lift pass holder that you can attach to your jacket and access really easily when you’re going on the ski lifts. It’s also a good idea to take some ski ties that fasten around your skis as this will make them easier to carry.

Decent shoes and socks are really important when skiing as they go a long way to helping protect you from the cold and are absolutely vital when traveling around exceptionally cold and icy locations. It’s a great idea to get some sturdy shoes that are good for both stopping you slipping on the ice and preventing you feeling any cold that seeps up from the ground. Thick socks – especially if they’re thermal – are also ideal as they’ll work to keep your feet warm no matter what the temperature is.
