BEFORE YOU GEAR UP FOR YOUR FIRST DAY
You need to have the perfect fitting gear to carry on the slopes. Cut through snow powder with the help of ski equipments, like snow goggles, ski helmets and ski jackets.
Experience a crystal clear view in lightweight ski goggles with adjustable lenses. Technically designed ski helmets especially for adventure sports in the snowy mountains fit comfortably and enhance safety.
Before you gear up for your first day of exciting skiing or snowboarding experience, you have to get dressed up in order to feel all motivated and fearless. Wear a comfortable gear that fits your body type gear that will keep you warm all day. Here is the list of things you will need to buy, borrow or hire.
Consider the following:
Ski Jacket
Ski Jackets are available with padded or hard shell and waterproofed. The one with a snow skirt which fastens your waist with a pocket to carry the lift pass in. You can borrow jackets, but ski jackets are not that expensive.
Ski Goggles
There is no price limit on ski goggles as you can get it in a lowest price, and also the expensive ones. It is better if you borrow one for the first time and then later buy a good quality goggle with changeable lenses. This can help in both high and low visibility conditions.
Ski Gloves
You should never carry general-use gloves for winter sports. There are specialist ski gloves which have traits like waterproofing and insulation. Try them properly before buying and make sure they fit well and attach to your wrist. This will be better as there will be less chances of losing them or feeling any kind of discomfort.
Base & Mid-Layers
You’re going to need a lot of thermals in order to stay warm. Hence, choose comfortable and not so tight fabrics. Use the one with fleece (avoid cotton), to keep yourself warm, quick drying. You may need to wash it and get it dried over night, so buy or borrow one accordingly.
Wrist Guards
Wrist guards are an unavoidable object for snowboarders. Falling on to your hands or falling backwards is expected; hence don’t forget to buy wrist guards, and padded under garments. You will get all of these in specialist snow sports stores.
Skis And Snowboard
Transporting your own skiing and snowboarding equipment is much cheaper compared to hiring. Also, having your own equipments would be better as you can get them according to your needs. Equipments that you get to hire are very well maintained and upgraded.
Ski Socks And Tubes
Long and warm socks will definitely make you comfortable on the mountain. This is especially perfect if your feet are locked up tightly in hard boots all day throughout the trip. The main two things are breathability and padding when you are looking for ski socks and tubes.
Helmet & Balaclava
A good ski helmet is strongly advisable as this the main aspect of safety purpose. Ski helmets can be hired at an affordable price or even bought as per your convenience. If you are planning to invest on a ski helmet, it is worth if you get it with a camera attachment.
Ski Trousers
Ski trousers aka salopettes are available at reasonable prices and good quality in both online as well as retail stores. Even if it is your first ski holiday, I would recommend you to get your own ski trousers. You can go for insulated salopettes like most of the skiers and the one with layers to keep you warm throughout your skiing experience.
