Ski Trip Check List Winter Clothing W inter ski trips to the mountains create memories that last for years, but one of the most daunting elements can be planning what to pack. This anxiety is sometimes amplified by the sudden fear that you’ve forgotten something once already on the road. To alleviate the stress, we’ve put together a guide to get you through your preparations. If you’re planning to take advantage of the wonderful outdoor winter weather in Vermont by skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, sledding, or something else, make sure you’re dressed appropriately. Layers are important, as weather can change day by day and hour by hour. Top and Bottom Base Layers Look for material that keeps you both warm and dry. Mid-Layers Pack a couple of mid-layer options of different weights. Fleece is a good option. Outer Layer Staying dry in the snow is one of the most important things for which you can plan. Pack waterproof snow pants and a jacket. Accessories Don’t forget a neck warmer, goggles, waterproof mittens or gloves, a couple of pairs of warm ski socks, and lip balm.
