Ski Trip Packing List
Skiing is my favorite winter activity. I love the gorgeous views from the top of the mountain, the rush of the wind skiing down, and the challenge of a tough slope. Planning and packing for ski trips however, can be a logistical challenge. I just got back from a fantastic weekend skiing in Whistler, Canada and have made a list of the essential items that I brought with me.
Whistler is one of the most amazing places I have ever skied and I highly recommend a trip if you can go. It is the largest ski resort in North America, with 8,200 acres of skiable terrain. Snowy mountain peaks extend for as far as you can see and the low altitude makes for easier breathing.
I hope this list helps both new and advanced skiers alike!
