Ski Trip %26amp; packing Help?
You didn't mention if your trip is out west, but if so, sunscreen! At higher altitudes u will get sunburn on your face. Also, you need a base layer like thermals or hot chilis to wick sweat away and to keep you warm, from your skin, ski socks and gloves or mittens. If its cold where you're going (like below 15 degrees) you might want hotpacks for your hands and feet.





I also take 2-way radios (wakie talkies) to keep in touch w friends, an ipod, a water bottle cuz its dry at high altitude, some cliff bars or other snack bars to keep in my ski jacket.





Also, sweatshirts and other cotton clothing is not really good in the mountains. It does not insulate well, wo't keep u very warm and doesn't stay dry. Your much better off with synthetic or fleece pullovers or zipups. Dress in layers.





You also got ur camera, cell phone?
Reply:almost forgot, after ski boots, or UGG boots are great for ski trip cuz u can wear them outside or in the condo or hotel or lodge! Report It

Reply:Sun screen of some description is essential no matter where you go, the reflected light off the snow can be quite harsh for your skin (and you may consider leaving your conditioner on your hair for a little longer after shampooing, as the cold can damage hair too).


Thermal gloves and a woollen hat (obviously something which would fit under your helmet) would be good as when ski-ing or snowboarding they are the parts of the body which will get the coldest fastest.


Depending on where you're staying you may want to think about slippers or bed socks too (will you have to go down the hall to the toilet in the night? or will you have en-suite?) Maybe a dressing gown? or a chunky jumper that can be thrown on over your PJ's that could be used in the daytime too.


I found that layers work best against the cold too, so a tee shirt with a sweat shirt then a jumper and ski jacket may be better if you don't want to have to buy a whole new wardrobe of cottons.


Don't forget to take something more "dressy" to wear indoors in the evenings - you may not want to be wearing a tee and jeans every night, or there may be a party/fancy dinner that you'll be attending. (So don't forget any accessories you might like to wear - maybe a pearly pink chapstick for evening "glam" lol)


Undies.... and a few pairs of good warm socks (in case they get wet). Will you get the use of a hot tub or sauna?? - don't forget the swimsuit.


Camera, cellphone.


A pen - to send postcards to people who still like getting postcards - don't forget to buy stamps %26amp; take the addresses too (I've forgotten my address book before, so I take addressed sticky labels now as they take up less space)


Something to do in the evening if you're bored - a book you've always wanted to get round to reading maybe?, or write up a journal of what you've done and where you've been - to go with your photo's (it might help you remember one mountain pic from another when you get home lol)


Somewhere safe to keep money - my Mom sewed mine into a little pocket she made inside my bra, so I'd get a little out each day to put in my bag but I knew the rest would be REALLY safe. (I didn't have hot tub/sauna/pool access when I went ski-ing so my bra was with me for the whole 5 days - under my pillow at night)


Hope that helps - have fun!
