  1. i would take my snowboarding coat and pants (duh), warm long socks, a beanie, a bandana to cover your face, like long underwear and a longsleeve shirt, then a sweatshirt over that if its really cold, gloves, and make sure that you bring a bunch of hand warmers! these really make the difference with me just put them in ur gloves and they will keep your hands warm


  2. Well:

    -Thermals (really help in snowstorms but can get too hot if the suns out while you're on the mountain!)

    -Some old T-shirts (great for layering)

    -Some jumpers

    -A waterproof/windproof ski/snowboard jacket

    -Salopettes (Snowpants/Ski trousers same thing :P)

    -A neck warmer (Best piece of kit because it really helps to keep your neck and face warm and very small so you can take it off and shove it in a pocket it you get too warm!)

    -Goggles (or good sunglasses, preferably sports ones for when it's not snowing because goggles can heat up your face.

    -A beanie or a helmet (helmets are better in extremely cold weather such as snowstorms because they don't get wet and then freeze to your head; I'm talking from experience, haha)

    -Thick, long ski socks

    -Waterproof gloves (and if you want thermal gloves)

    -Wristguards (Great for the falls)

    -Impact shorts (Again, great for the falls :D)

    -Snowboard shoes (And even a good, strong pair of shoes for just walking around in the snow? :P)

    -Snowboard

    -Suncream (sounds daft for snow I now but the sun reflects off the white surface, can give you serious sunburn!)

    Phew! Huge list, and make sure if it's windy or there's a snowstorm that you have your face covered to avoid windburn. Have fun on your trip! :)

  3. The others have it well covered.  Have FUN.



  4. 1-board

    2-snowboard boots

    1-comfy hat

    1-bandanna (or neck tube)

    1-pair of goggles

    2-Long sleeve wicking shirts.

    2-3-t-shirts

    1-a fleece jacket

    3-pairs of socks (thick for off the slopes , thin ones for boarding)

    1-pair of long johns (thermal under pants)

    1-water proof shell (jacket)

    1-pair of water proof snow pants.

    1-pair of jeans or whatever (for off the slopes)

    1-small pack/bottle of detergent

    I have done many travel snowboard trips and its good to keep the load light and just wash yer socks and underwear and stuff each night so they are fresh the next morn. But if you are into partying after the slopes then bring extra pairs. Layers are the way to go NOT a big down-filled. you will over heat and if you wear layers you can always peel them back.

    that's about it. Happy shredding!
