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.
