Once you have planned your dream ski vacation, it is necessary to know what to pack since this is a difficult part that involves selecting ski gear such as jackets, pants, gloves, helmets, goggles, base layers and more.  Whatever you do, don’t  forget to pack the ski wear in the order that you will be wearing them.  Pack ski accessories as well as those items of clothing you will wear when you are not skiing.

Most important of all, your ski equipment should be packed including ski boots, skis, and poles, and having a ski bag for them is recommended.  Of course, if you would rather travel lightly, which is what we would recommend, then renting  your  ski gear is the way to go!
