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!

Loved this list! I’ve been skiing my whole childhood but now it’s been like 10 years that I haven’t been on a ski holiday, I miss it so much! Enjoy your time there 😘
Oh wow that is a long time! You should definitely start again! I really enjoyed myself and will definitely be doing it again. Thanks hun 🤍
I hope you enjoy snowboarding and I hope the snow is good! I luckily live close to a ski resort so I’ve never needed to pack more than for the day but I think it’d be awesome to travel to one I’ve never been to.
Thank you! I had such a wonderful time, the snow was amazing for us and it snowed the last day which was beautiful to see and I loved snowboarding it in haha. Oh wow that is amazing!! I think I would love to live near one and just go whenever I want 😊 thank you for your comment x
