11 Must-Haves For A Winter Ski Trip

by Shannon Nash

If you’re planning a ski or snowboarding trip this season, get your priorities straight and be sure to pack glamorously! Yes, you need to be warm, but who says you can’t be toasty and chic at the same time?! We’ve got your packing list to ensure you look gorgeous on and off the mountain.

Ski Trip Checklist

Down Jacket

Christopher Kane Camo Jacket, $4,180

An amazing jacket is the cornerstone of your mountain look, so be sure to pick one that is super chic (and warm!).

Mirrored Goggles

Anon Goggles, $220

The same way cool sunglasses are essential for driving, major ski goggles are mandatory on the slopes.

Serious Gloves

Burton Pipe Gloves, $50

Make sure your gloves are waterproof and have hanging clips so you can hook them onto your jacket.

Transitional Scarf

Missoni Wool Scarf, $350

Invest in a bright knit scarf that will be ultra fashionable on your trip - and also back in the city when you return to reality.

Snow Boots

Christian Louboutin Spiked Boot, $1,895

Although seemingly over-the-top, chic boots are totally practical for cruising around town - especially when there's fresh snow on the ground.

Knit Beanie

Faux Fur Pom Cable Beanie, Topshop, $28

Since you'll most likely be wearing your beanie 24/7, pick one that is soft, warm and in a color that works with your jacket.

Cashmere Sweater

The Elder Statesman Cashmere Knit Sweater, $1,292

A cashmere sweater will get plenty of mileage since you'll wear it as a base layer, at the lodge for apres-ski, and by the fire late night.

SPF Lip Balm

Shiseido Lip Treatment SPF 36, $22

Even though it's cold at the high altitude, don't forget to wear SPF - especially on your lips.

Off-The-Mountain Gloves

J. Crew Glittens, $37

Always bring a second pair of gloves to wear in the evening, since your ski gloves will be drying out from the day's activities.

Shearling Boots

See by Chloe Faux Fur Lace-Up Boots, $475

Shearling boots are great for mountain towns - they are cozy, look glamorous and work for day and night.

Chic Pajamas

Equipment Lillian Pajama Set, $388

If you're sharing a house with friends, don't forget to bring cute jammies to rock for movie night.
