How to use this list
Lay out your gear two days before departure. Pack two sets of moisture-wicking base layers and three pairs of ski socks to ensure you always have dry, warm feet.

Make sure your skis and poles or snowboard, and boots, are ready and fit properly.
What to skip
Bringing too many casual clothes or extra gear can crowd your bag. Focus on the listed technical layers. Don’t rely on rental shops for basics like socks or gloves; bring your own for fit and comfort. Skip cotton layers—they won’t keep you warm if they get wet.
