Skiing Checklist

  • ski jacket
  • ski pants
  • ski mittens (much warmer than gloves)
  • warm hat
  • helmet
  • warm socks
  • neck warmers
  • goggles
  • lunch

Please, no cotton jeans, no ankle socks, no dress mittens or gloves. Children should wear a warm layer (wool sweater or fleece) under their ski jackets. BE SURE TO LABEL ALL EQUIPMENT! We reserve the right to withhold any child from skiing who is not adequately dressed.

One large duffle bag with a shoulder strap works best for carrying gear and lunch from the bus to the lodge. The duffle, in lieu of several small bags, will help each child to manage their own gear. Teachers will watch out for items coming to and from the lodge, but ultimately it is your child’s personal responsibility to keep all equipment in check.
