Ski Trip Packing List

Packing for a ski trip doesn’t have to be a puzzle. When you’re prepared with the right essentials, the slopes become your playground. Whether you're carving turns on groomed runs or chasing powder, the key to an epic trip is dialing in your gear—and that’s where we come in.

At Elevenate, we live and breathe skiing, so we know what it takes to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable while looking sharp on the mountain. Ready to pack like a pro? Let’s dive in.

Base Layers: Your First Line of Defense

Start with a moisture-wicking base layer to keep sweat off your skin. Look for high-quality merino wool or synthetic materials—no cotton, ever. This layer sets the tone for warmth and comfort all day.

• Tops: Lightweight or midweight, depending on the forecast.
• Bottoms: Full-length or three-quarter length for seamless boot integration.
• Socks: Ski socks with just the right padding. Pack at least two pairs per day for longer trips.

Mid Layers: Insulate and Elevate

Your mid layer provides the insulation you need to stay cozy without overheating. Think breathable and versatile.

• Fleece Jackets: Lightweight options for warmer days.
• Down or Synthetic Insulated Jackets: Perfect for colder temperatures.
• Insulated Fleece Pants: A game-changer for keeping your thighs and bum warm on chilly lift rides.

Outerwear: The Shield Against the Elements

Your outerwear needs to handle everything Mother Nature throws at you, and Elevenate’s gear has you covered.

• Ski Jacket: Waterproof, windproof, and breathable. Features like pocket zips and a helmet-compatible hood are ideal.
• Ski Pants: Durable with full weather protection, reinforced cuffs, and ventilation options.
• Gloves or Mittens: Insulated and waterproof, with liners for added warmth.

Essential Accessories for the Mountain

The right accessories make all the difference. Don’t overlook these must-haves:

• Helmet: A non-negotiable for safety and warmth.
• Goggles: Choose lenses that suit the conditions, like low-light tints for cloudy days.
• Tube: Keep the chill off your face and neck.
• Beanie: A cozy hat for après-ski or under your helmet on frigid days.
• Ski Backpack: Perfect for storing snacks, water, and an extra layer.

Après-Ski and Off-Mountain Gear

Skiing’s only half the fun. Après-ski style is all about laid-back comfort:

• Base Layers as Lounge Wear: They're cozy and already packed.
• Casual Jacket: A down jacket is your go-to for roaming the village.
• Sturdy Boots: Grip matters when navigating icy streets.

Pro Tips for Packing Like a Skier

• Plan for Layers: The weather can turn on a dime in the mountains, so versatility is key.
• Bring Extras: Socks, gloves, and goggles—better safe than sorry.
• Hydration and Snacks: Staying fueled is essential for peak performance.
