1. A rolling gear bag

A travel essential! The padded rolling bag, protects your precious gear. It also helps you be more efficient when you need to sprint to make it to your next flight!

 

2. Extra lenses for your goggles

Leaving with your ski goggles is definitely a must but extra lenses also needs to be appear on your list of things to bring. Depending on your destination of choice, think about bringing different colored lenses so you always have a clear view no matter the weather conditions. Also, additional lenses in your luggage will make your life easier in the event of a breakage.

 

3. Base layers: synthetic and merino

Because you can’t rely on the long term forecast, it’s imperative that you bring more than one type of base layer. So, make sure you put synthetic fiber and merino wool base layers in your suitcase. You will be ready for whatever Mother Nature throws your way during your holiday!

 

4. Boot drier

Is there anything more uncomfortable than wet boots and mitts? After a full day exploring the mountain, a boot drier is a must-have for skiers and travellers alike. Compact and easy to use, it insures that your equipment is nice and dry for the next day. You can even use it during lunch to have dry mitts and boots in the afternoon!

 

5. Insulated mid-layer

When travelling, you must be ready for changing weather conditions! Having an insulated mid-layer will insure that you adapt to anything. Compressible, versatile and lightweight, you can wear it as extra insulation on cold days on the slopes and, why not, as a jacket for a night on the town! When you’re travelling an insulated mid-layer is a must.
