Planning a ski trip? Whether you’re heading to the slopes for a weekend getaway or an extended winter retreat, packing the right essentials is key to staying warm, stylish, and prepared for anything the mountain throws your way. From high-performance skiwear to must-have accessories, this ski trip packing list will ensure you’re fully equipped for an unforgettable adventure.
1. High-Performance Ski Suit: Verta Mountain Club’s Skinny or Flare Snowsuit
A stylish and functional snowsuit is the foundation of your ski wardrobe. Verta Mountain Club’s ski suits are designed for ultimate performance and fashion, available in skinny and flare styles to suit your preference. Featuring:
Fleece-lined interior for extra warmth
Water-resistant fabric to keep you dry
Four-way stretch material for maximum comfort and mobility
High-waisted design for a flattering and secure fit
Whether you’re carving through fresh powder or sipping an après-ski cocktail, Verta Mountain Club’s snowsuits keep you warm while making a statement on and off the slopes.
2. Base Layers for Warmth and Comfort
Layering is essential for regulating body temperature in cold weather. Pack moisture-wicking base layers made from merino wool or thermal synthetic fabrics to keep sweat away and maintain warmth. Look for long-sleeve tops and leggings that fit snugly under your ski suit.
3. Insulating Mid-Layer
A mid-layer, such as a fleece jacket or lightweight down vest, adds insulation without bulk. This layer traps heat while allowing moisture to escape, ensuring you stay warm without overheating.
4. Waterproof Ski Gloves or Mittens
Cold hands can ruin a day on the slopes. Invest in waterproof and insulated gloves or mittens to keep your hands warm and dry. Look for gloves with touchscreen compatibility so you can capture ski trip memories without removing them.
5. Ski Socks for Maximum Comfort
High-quality ski socks made from merino wool or moisture-wicking materials will keep your feet warm and dry. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can cause discomfort during long days on the mountain.
6. Protective Gear: Goggles and Helmet
Ski goggles protect your eyes from glare, wind, and snow. Choose a pair with UV protection and anti-fog coating for optimal visibility.
A ski helmet is a must for safety on the slopes. Look for a lightweight, well-ventilated helmet with an adjustable fit.
7. Neck Gaiter or Balaclava
A neck gaiter or balaclava shields your face from cold winds, making it a must-have accessory for extreme temperatures. Opt for a breathable, moisture-wicking fabric that won’t freeze when wet.
8. Après-Ski Outfit
After a long day on the slopes, you’ll want to relax in cozy and stylish après-ski wear. Pack warm leggings, a chunky knit sweater, and insulated boots to keep comfortable while enjoying a fireside drink.
9. Ski Boots & Equipment (If Not Renting)
If you prefer using your own gear, don’t forget your:
Ski boots (ensure they are properly fitted)
Skis and poles
Snowboard (if boarding)
Ski pass and resort lift tickets
10. Ski Trip Essentials: Sunscreen, Lip Balm & Hydration Pack
Sunscreen (SPF 30+): Snow reflects UV rays, making sun protection essential.
Lip balm with SPF: Prevents chapped lips from wind and sun exposure.
Hydration pack or water bottle: Staying hydrated is crucial at high altitudes.
