Cool Find: Interactive Snow Ski Trip Packing List
When I was a kid we lived in Utah and skied just about every weekend, but since moving East, I just haven’t made the time to ski. Quite a few of my friends take multiple ski trips every winter and they always have a great time so, I think we may just have to try something new this winter. Since it has been so long since I have packed for a ski trip, I wouldn’t have the first clue what to pack other than loads of socks and gloves!
Enter, a cool find! The team at Sun & Ski sports have created an interactive snow ski trip packing list that not only tells you what to pack for a quick ski trip – say 2-4 days, but also what to pack for a longer trip, the benefits of each item you need, and some general tips such as:
- Workout your legs (Quadriceps, Calfs & Tibialis Anterior) and core (Abs & balancing exercises) to prepare for your time on the hill. Low weight, high reps will build that “all day” endurance that you are looking for.
- Pack ski clothes in your carry-on. This way if your luggage gets lost, you can still enjoy the mountain.
- Eat a good breakfast. Supplement with Vitamin C and all kinds of Vitamin B for energy.
- Remember to always drink alot of water when at high altitudes.
- Check your snowboard bindings to make sure that they remain tight throughout the day.
Head over to Sun & Ski for the rest of the tips for ski and snowboarding trips as well as how to layer to stay warm and dry on the slopes.
