What to Pack for Your Ski Holiday
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]An issue that often crops up with the staff here and plenty of other skiers is forgetting to pack something and only realising it when it’s too late, whether that’s something large or small, we’re all guilty of being forgetful sometimes.
Luckily for you, we’ve done the forgetting for you and we at Ski-Lifts have come up with a collaborative ski and snowboard essential checklist for your holiday this ski season.
Download a handy skiing checklist below that you can print off, so you never forget anything from your ski holiday packing list again!
Your ski trip packing list:
Ski/snowboarding clothing
Waterproof breathable jacket (our partners at Absolute Snow have you covered)

Neckwarmer
Helmet
Thermal base layers (top and bottoms) x2

Sunglasses
On the slopes
Small rucksack
Suncream
Water bottle
Equipment
Avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel (for those who are going off-piste)
Skis or snowboard (or arrange ski hire)
Boots
Ski poles
Multitool (for repairs or adjustments, don’t be caught out on the slopes!)
Iron, wax and a scraper
Board lock (you can’t be too careful)
In-resort clothing
Everyday clothes (jeans, t-shirt, jumper etc.)
Swimwear (if you plan on relaxing in a spa or taking a dip)
Hat and gloves
Other useful stuff
Earplugs (don’t be kept awake when you fancy an early night)
Deep heat (skiing can be unforgiving on your muscles and joints)
Playing cards
Travel pillow
Fancy dress (well, you never know do you?)
Spirits and cigarettes from duty-free (sometimes the alcohol and cigarette prices in resorts can burn a hole in the pocket)
Akla-Seltzer (for the inevitable hangover)
