Ski Holiday Packing List - Your Winter Holiday Checklist
The most important luggage for a ski holiday is certainly the equipment itself. However, along with skis and snowboards, you should also be sure to add warm ski/snowboard clothing to the list, such as a ski jacket, ski pants, hats/beanies, ski undergarments, ski socks and gloves. Further important items that should definitely be brought with you include sunscreen, lip balm with SPF, sunglasses and more. It's also recommended to take a small backpack with you if you plan on spending all day in the ski area - this way, you can take along snacks, drinks and even a camera!
