Ski Vacation Packing List

Your ski vacation packing list will most likely have your skis or board at the top of the list.

But what else do you pack?

Ski vacations are fun but tiring! And its all about piling on the layers. And you really don't need as much as you might think!

Start by shopping in your closet. These are the essentials that you will need for a 7 day ski vacation!

---

• ski suit
• long underwear
• ski sweater or fleece
• turtle neck or long sleeved layering tees
• ski socks
• skiing or snowboarding gear
• outfits for dinners out
• alternate winter coat
• winter boots
• pjs
• underwear
• toiletries

When packing for vacation pick at least 1 snow suit, plus your skis or board, boots, goggles, hats and mitts or gloves.

Jeans do not constitute appropriate leg wear for skiing, get a pair of snow pants!

Bring at least one set of long underwear, multiple if you tend to get sweaty and you can not do laundry where you are staying.

Pack layering items according to the weather you will be skiing through. Mt. Tremblant can get to minus 60 degrees Celsius at the top so you will need more layers than spring skiing at Whistler.

But what about apres ski? That depends on what type of ski vacation you are having.

Do you plan on staying in with your family after hours? If so you might just need a pair of jeans to pull on instead of ski pants or hang out in your pjs.

Do you plan on hitting the bar scene at the base of the mountain or in town? Then you need at least one party outfit for every night you will be going out.

Ski bunnies leave your stilettos at home and bring your Sorrels instead. 


Looking to get outfitted for ski season in Toronto? Don't have all the items on the ski vacation packing list?

Check out Sporting Life and Higher Ground at Yonge & Eglinton, the Salomon store at the Shops at Don Mills or Mountain Equipment Co-op along King West.

Other Toronto shopping spots to hit, especially if you are outfitting younger people in your house hold, are shops like Boathouse for snowboard friendly gear. Even Sporting Life has a specialty snow board store.
