Pack with me: Snowboarding Trip

Hello lovelies, I have been quite quiet about my trip just purely because I have been preparing and too excited. However, I wanted to announce it in this post that I am going on a Skiing trip! Well I will be snowboarding but honestly I could not be happier.

It has been a dream of mine since I was 10 to go on a ski trip. I first learnt on a dry slope about 6 years ago, and did about 3 months of training. I have also been on an indoor slope for practice as well fairly recently.

Therefore, I thought it would be cool to let you guys know the essentials to take for a ski trip in case you are thinking about it! Here is my

pack with me!

Toiletries

• Toothbrush and toothpaste
• Shampoo and conditioner
• Body wash
• Pads/tampons *if needed
• Medication
• First Aid kit
• Shavers
• Make-up
• Sun cream *its not a Spain holiday but when the sun is out it can be hot!
• Tissues *handy when on the slope.

Gear

• Ski jacket *you can hire but I would recommend taking one.
• Ski trousers
• Helmet *this you can hire as well but I have my own.
• Goggles *there are many different ones so make sure to research!
• Thermals *depending on how cold it is and where you go.
• Jeans/trousers/clothes for the evening or when you are not skiing.
• Ski socks
• Gloves
• Neck warmer/scarves
• Underwear/swim stuff if there is a pool.
• Backpack *this is good for taking with you whilst skiing/snowboarding, to carry snacks or water etc.
• Jumpers *great for wearing over your thermals and under your ski jacket- depending on how cold it is.

• Board/skis *if advanced something to take but for a beginner then just hire.
• Ski boots *again just hire if you are a beginner.
• Walking boots *for the times that you may not ski and in the evening it’s good to take some outdoor shoes/boots.
• Hats
• Pjs

Other

• Phone charger/adapter *depending on where you go.
• Headphones

• 

Also don’t forget to take your spending money! But don’t forget that the hotel/where you stay may take a charge when you get there, so have some extra for that just incase!

Well there you have it, these are the essentials that I will be taking with me. There might be something I have forgotten, but there are loads of videos and resources out there to help you when going on a ski holiday for the first time!

Have you ever been skiing?

Thanks for reading, and to let you know there will be no posts next week as I am away!
