Planning Your Trip
Helpful advice for preparing for your winter sports vacation. A well-prepared trip ensures maximum enjoyment and safety on the slopes.
Packing Essentials:
- Layering System: Base layers (moisture-wicking), mid-layers (insulation like fleece or down), and outer shell (waterproof and windproof jacket and pants).
- Protective Gear: Helmet, goggles, gloves/mittens, and sunscreen (high SPF) for sun protection at altitude.
- Footwear: Waterproof boots for walking in snow, and comfortable shoes for evenings.
- Accessories: Neck gaiter or balaclava, warm hat, and hand/foot warmers for extra comfort on cold days.
Safety Tips on the Slopes:
- Know Your Limits: Stick to trails appropriate for your skill level. Don't attempt runs beyond your ability.
- Stay Hydrated and Fueled: Drink plenty of water and eat regularly to maintain energy and prevent fatigue.
- Buddy System: If possible, ski or snowboard with a friend, especially in off-piste areas.
- Pay attention to all warning signs, closures, and boundary markers.
- Avalanche Awareness (for backcountry): Always carry appropriate gear (beacon, shovel, probe) and know how to use it. Consider taking an avalanche safety course.
Best Time to Visit:
The ideal time for a winter sports trip typically runs from December to March. Early season (December) often offers fresh snow and fewer crowds, while mid-season (January-February) usually provides the most consistent snow depths. Late season (March) can bring warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours, perfect for sunny spring skiing.
Always check the specific resort's snowfall history and current conditions before booking, as these can vary significantly year to year.
