Ski Trip Packing List Builder

Everything you need on the slopes — auto-generated ski packing list

Build a complete ski trip packing list from your trip length and options like bringing your own gear, après-ski, spa, and beginner protection. Covers thermal layers, on-mountain gear, evening wear, high-altitude sun care, and documents.

How should I layer for skiing?

Use three layers: a wicking thermal base, an insulating mid-layer like fleece, and a waterproof outer shell. This list packs all three so you can add or shed layers as the temperature and your effort change through the day.

Hit the slopes fully kitted out

A ski trip needs gear most holidays do not — layered thermals, goggles, hand warmers, high-altitude sun protection — and missing one piece can cut a day short. This builder produces a categorized ski packing list sized to your trip and tailored to whether you bring your own gear, plan après-ski nights, use the spa, or are still learning.

How it works

The tool organises everything into on-mountain clothing, gear and lift essentials, off-mountain and evening wear, sun-skin-and-first-aid, and documents and tech. It builds the on-mountain layers around the three-layer system — wicking base, insulating mid-layer, waterproof shell — and scales base layers, ski socks, and evening outfits to your trip length.

Toggles adapt the rest: own gear adds skis or board, boots, poles, and a padded bag (plus an airline-rules reminder), while renting swaps in a booking reminder. Beginner adds wrist guards and impact shorts for the inevitable falls. Après-ski adds smart-casual outfits and evening shoes, and spa adds swimwear and flip-flops. The sun-and-skin section is deliberately full because altitude UV and reflective snow make sunburn and windburn a real risk even in the cold.

Tips and example

For a 7-day trip with your own gear, après-ski, and the spa, you get full thermal layering, a few days of base layers and ski socks, goggles and helmet, skis and boots in a padded bag, evening outfits and swimwear, high-SPF sun care, and your documents including winter-sports insurance — around 45 items across five categories. Pack the gear bag carefully and confirm your airline’s ski-carriage allowance in advance, then copy the checklist and tick items off as the cases fill.
