I am going skiing for the first time in years with my inlaws this weekend. I need to make sure I dont forget anything, can you gals help me put a packling list together?
Here is a breakdown of what jj sent me. I'm going next week - yippie!! Also, i've attached a list from a local ski shop
I would recommend (from inner-most layer to outer):
- long underwear top/bottom. I HIGHLY recommend patagonia capilene because it keeps you dry and toasty. You don't want to get overheated from skiing, then cold on the chairlift from being sweaty. - liner socks - also very important to keep you dry and toasty
- thin wool socks
- turtleneck
- a substantial long sleeve fleece (something like old navy is worthless because it's too thin)
- your jacket, which also has a fleece lining
- a hat! never skip the hat! gloves and fleecy neck gaiter
If you get warm, take off your hat for a few minutes. You'll cool down really fast.
I wear North Face STH pants. I like them because they fitted. I'm not a big fan of snowboarder style baggy pants.
