Who this list is for
This list is for adults planning a two-night ski weekend, whether you’re renting or bringing your own equipment. It focuses on personal gear and the basics you’ll actually use at the lodge and on the slopes.
How to use this list
Lay out everything from this list before you pack. Check off each item as it goes into your bag or car. Make sure everything is dry and in good shape—especially your gloves, socks, and thermal layers. If you’re renting boots or a helmet, confirm with the shop so you don’t double-pack.
Common mistakes
Don’t skip warm base layers—you’ll want two sets so you can swap out after a sweaty day. Forgetting a neck gaiter or warm hat is a recipe for discomfort on windy lifts. Avoid bringing casual shoes for the slopes; comfortable walking shoes are fine for the lodge but not for skiing. Don’t pack more than you need—extra jackets or pants just take up space.
What is on this list
You’ll pack a waterproof ski jacket, ski pants or bibs, two thermal base-layer tops and bottoms, and a fleece midlayer for insulation. Bring three pairs of ski socks so you always have a dry set. Waterproof gloves or mittens, a warm hat, and a neck gaiter keep you warm. Don’t forget ski goggles and a helmet for safety, and your ski boots if you own them.
Before you go
Double-check that all your gear is packed the night before. Lay out tomorrow’s base layers and make sure all clothing is dry. Check weather conditions and adjust your layers if needed. On your last day, let wet items air out before packing up to avoid mildew when you get home.
