Jet Ski Jacket

You have a ski trip planned with your family, some friends or with a group and you're wondering what to bring and what you need to prepare for your trip. With this article, I'll explain what equipment you need, what clothing you need and some tips to make sure you're not the last one that everyone's waiting for to get ready.

If your trip is a few days out, then you have some time to possibly borrow any equipment that you need. Many people who ski or snowboard often and have their own equipment will have extra things like jackets, gloves, pants and maybe even skis or poles that you can borrow. So ask people you know that go skiing or snowboarding if they have any items that you're missing. Then be sure to return it in good, clean condition.

After checking for any available equipment from friends and family, you should see what's missing. You will also want to decide if you're going to rent any equipment.

Renting Ski Equipment

Find the website of where you're going to go ski and check out their prices for ski rentals. When you rent skis, they should give you poles and the bindings are included with the skis. Boots are usually also included since these places will often want you to use their boots with their skis. Find out if there are different rates for all day or for a partial day. If you want to ski and snowboard, some places will let you trade in one for the other part way though the day, which is a nice thing about renting.

If you don't ski too often, renting equipment is a good deal. You get equipment that's tuned and waxed and all ready for you. There might be some scratches on the equipment but it should be in good working order with the edges sharpened and so forth. You should also look for any package deals where you can get something like a lift ticket, rental and a lesson for one price.

The Ski Rental Procedure

As you go through the rental procedure, you will need to fill out paperwork, which includes a waiver. They will ask for your height, weight and skiing ability. If you don't ski often, you should say you're a level one or beginner skier. They need to know this information so that the bindings are set correctly. The bindings will release your boots from the ski if you happen to fall, so that's an important setting.

Equipment Checklist

Here's a checklist of other things that you will want to consider bringing with you:

Ski jacket - get a good ski jacket that will keep you warm and comfortable. It should keep the snow out and not restrict your movements. A hood can be useful if it snows or rains.

Ski pants - ski pants have about the same purpose of the jacket. Wearing jeans is not a wise decision. They're often too tight and because they're made of cotton, they just soak up any snow or rain. The lift chair may be wet or you may fall and the moment any snow sticks to them, it will soak in and you'll get wet, which is not comfortable. Good snow or ski pants will not let any snow soak in and are comfortable to wear. Under your ski pants you can wear a base layer or long underwear.

Skis, ski boots and poles. Again, you can borrow from someone, bring your own or rent.

Gloves - gloves are very important. Bring two pairs in case one pair gets wet.

Hat or helmet - this keeps your head warm, of course. Bring two hats in case one gets wet.

Goggles - these are more important that you may think. They're nice to have, help you see and keep the wind out of your eyes as you fly down the slopes.

Base and mid layers - dress in layers. Try to find a non-cotton layer for your base layer so that any sweat doesn't get trapped near your skin. There are a lot of good polyester and synthetic materials that keep sweat away from your body.

Other things to consider bringing:

• Facial tissue or a handkerchief
• A face mask in case it's very cold or windy
• Sun block
• Snacks like granola bars or nuts
• Walkie talkies
• A scarf
• Sunglasses

Hopefully with this list, you can better enjoy your ski trip. Plan ahead and you'll be sure to enjoy skiing since the right equipment does make a difference. Have fun!
