Layered Tops & Bottoms

It's important to layer your tops and bottoms and bring a variety of options to work with the changing weather.  You will want to be prepared to delayer when going from the outside to inside.  Be sure to pack a variety of long sleeve tops, sweaters, cardigans, fleeces, and hoodies.  Water proof pants are essential for snowy, wet days on the slopes.    

Base layer tops and bottoms can be fashionable as well as warm and functional. 

We love sexy fashion savvy thermal layers for women from Free People Movement, Sweat Betty, and Goldbergh.

For men we love Montec's state-of-the-art winter gear combining style and function. 

You can't go wrong with Smartwool or Patagonia, or Helly Hansen for men's & women's quality base layers.

sunglasses in winter

Winter vacation things you might forget to pack

Sunscreen- Just because it''s winter doesn't mean that the sun is strong out there and reflecting off the white snow.

Lip balm- Cold dry weather can cause dry chapped lips.

Hand & foot warmers- If you don't have heated socks, gloves or insoles pick up these cheap disposable warmers.  They are a life saver for your cold feet and hands.

Sunglasses & goggles- It's bright out there and the elements can be harsh.  We recommend goggles with interchangeable lenses for various conditions.  The white snow can be blinding with the sun shining so a pair of sunglasses is key.

Swimsuit & flip flops- Hot tubes are a popular apres ski activity at every mountain resort so you will want to pack your swimsuit and a pair of flip-flops to wear to and from the tube.
