For adventure seekers, skiing is one sport that is second to none. But while the actual activity can be loads of fun, packing for the trip seems like drudgery. Buzzle brings you a fabulous ski gear checklist that will help you pack in a matter of minutes.
Be warned!
Packing for your ski trip requires meticulousness, and we mean it. Sure, you'll be able to buy anything at your destination―but just imagine paying 50 bucks for a missing skiing glove; you don't want to be the one doing that.As exciting as your ski trip is bound to be, packing for it may not seem as appealing. Also, you're bound to be in doubt about what terms as essential for some, may not really be too important to you.
Which is why we're providing you with this printable checklist; most of the items included here are generally applicable to everyone. However, feel free to modify the list according to your own needs.
