32 Essentials You'll Need
PRACTICAL WANDERLUST
From the ski vacation essentials that find their way into our suitcases year after year to the things you’ll never find us packing, here’s all the tips you need to pack for your next ski vacation, whether it’s your first or you’re a ski bunny regular!
Winter Sports Gear
Jeremy recommends these goggles and these gloves for snowboarding. Jeremy also packs a helmet, but it does take up a lot of suitcase space and can be easily rented.
Make sure you don’t just have run-of-the-mill acrylic socks – they won’t keep your feet warm while you’re out in the snow! Instead, bring socks that are primarily made of soft, heat-regulating wool.
You can wear base-layer leggings plus another layer of hiking pants! It’s nice to stay dry and not schlep around in heavy pants.
You don’t want to risk being lost in the mountain with a dead phone, so pack a portable charger to keep it juiced up.
These hand warmer packs can be put inside your gloves and stay warm for up to 18 hours avoiding hands getting cold in the first place.
This jacket will keep you warm but not sweaty, allowing you to actually move your arms, and letting you shred the gnar for hours without feeling heavy or restrictive.
We recommend boots that can withstand ice or snow, are weatherproof and waterproof, and are comfortable enough to go snow-shoeing in.
