Packing for a Ski Trip

For a lot of people a Winter trip to the mountains is top of their list. Playing in the snow, eating mountain food and taking in the stunning views. But what do you need to pack for the little ones?🏂

One of the key things to get right when heading to the slopes is to make sure your children are kitted out with the correct gear. It is important for them to stay warm and dry. Packing the correct ski gear will help to ensure that plenty of fun in the snow will follow.

Key items to remember:

Little Hotdog Watson Arctic Cub Hat

Keeping your head warm is essential since so much body heat is lost through it. That's why a quality hat is a must-have for your skit gear list. Not only does it help regulate your body temperature, but it's also a chance to add a touch of style to your outfit.

Waterproof Jacket

Look for a ski jacket with warm insulation, protective waterproof material, thumb loops to prevent snow going up the sleeve and a removable hood so that it will not get in the way of a ski helmet. For the littler ones a ski suit is perfect.

Salopettes

Match your Waterproof Jacket with Waterproof Salopettes or Trousers. This is perfect for older children. Make sure they fit over snow boots, an elasticated bottom helps with this.

Waterproof Gloves 🧤

A good quality pair of ski gloves or mittens are essential to keeping your little ones hands toasty in the snow. They should be waterproof and have a sturdy palm for a good grip.

Base Layers & Fleeces

Base Layers and Fleeces are an essential for any ski holiday! It's the key to keeping warm and protected in the cold. They can also wick away any moisture.

Ski Goggles 🥽

Don't forget your goggles! The sun can be really strong on the slopes so goggles are a must-have for your trip. These will protect the eyes from the sun reflecting off from the snow. 

Thick Socks 🧦

A good pair of thick socks is needed for the slopes. These will protect the little ones feet from feeling the chill.

Suncream ☀️

It may feel cold but the sun is still out! It's important to pack a good sports sun cream to avoid sunburn on the slopes. You may also want to consider a protective lip balm.
