Ski & snowboard trip packing checklist

Что взять с собой

Helmet.
Goggles.
Wrist guards (especially for snowboarding).
Base layer, fleece, and shell suit.
Warm waterproof gloves.
Balaclava or buff under the helmet.
Boot drying method (dryer, newspaper, rack).
SPF lip balm and wind cream.

Лайфхаки

Spare lens or second goggles for weather swings.
Waterproof pouch for lift pass and ID.
Hand warmers inside gloves on windy days.
Vent on the lift — sweaty boots chill faster later.
Lock for skis/board at slope restaurants.
Tiny repair kit: zip ties, tape, spare parts if you own them.
Warm après socks separate from riding socks.

Protection: helmet, goggles, wrists

Helmet and goggles are baseline. Snowboarders should add wrist guards — backward falls are common early on.

Boot drying and foot comfort

Wet boots ruin day two. A dryer, rack, or packed newspaper overnight is mandatory.

Ski insurance wording

Before you buy, find “ski / snowboard” wording and evacuation limits. Without them, resort care may not be covered.

Частые вопросы

What to pack for skiing or snowboarding?

Helmet, goggles, layers, gloves, balaclava, wrist guards for boarding, and a boot-drying plan.

How to dry boots without a dryer?

Remove insoles, stuff with paper, leave near warm (not hot) air overnight.

What else belongs in a slope pocket?

Lift pass in a pouch, SPF lip balm, a hand warmer, and blister plasters.
