Often forgotten extras when packing

 

Please check out our blog here for more details and a full list!

 

Often forgotten extras:

  • Small rucksack: A lightweight, waterproof bag can be useful for carrying water and snacks on the mountain. 
  • Wrist guards and knee pads: A great idea for beginners and boarders as you’ll probably be falling over a lot at first!
  • Glove liners: These are great if you struggle with circulation issues - an extra pair of thin gloves under your waterproof ones will trap another layer of warmth.
  • Hand warmers: Tuck a couple of reusable hand warmers into your pocket, ready to give off hours of heat at the click of a button.
  • Sun cream: Don’t be fooled by the temperature - even when it’s cold out, the sun’s UV rays can still do damage, especially at high altitude.
  • Lip balm: The mountain air can really dry out your lips, so come prepared.
  • Swimsuit: Many resorts have a pool or hot tub somewhere so remember your swimsuit if you want to go for a dip.
  • Flip-flops: In most public spas and pools, you’ll need to wear flip-flops. You can usually buy them there, but it’s easier and cheaper to just bring your own.
  • Water bottle: Staying hydrated is key when you’re skiing. Choose a reusable bottle to cut down waste – and if you’re not taking a bag, get a collapsible one that you can squeeze into your pocket.
  • Snacks: Stash a few snacks in your jacket to keep up your energy levels throughout the day – bring them from home to save on resort prices.
