Essential Ski Accessories for Your Skiing Getaway

Preparing for a skiing holiday can be daunting due to the sheer volume of clothing and equipment required. Do not forget the smaller accessories that might simplify your trip significantly.

For those with their own ski gear, popular items include ski straps to keep your skis together and ski locks for preventing theft. Ski boots are often the initial investment for many, and preserving them is important. Boot heaters and dryers are excellent for eliminating moisture and maintaining the liners. Over time, ski boot sole toe and heel caps may wear out and should be replaced for safety.

Never Underestimate the Power of Hand and Foot Warmers

Your hands and feet are typically the first to feel the chill on cold days or when you have misjudged the number of ski layers to wear. Cold extremities can diminish the fun of your ski experience, so having heating pads in your pocket or backpack is a smart decision.

Single-use hand warmers can retain warmth for as long as 12 hours. Many are activated by either cracking the pad or exposure to air. Foot warmers work in a similar fashion, but it’s advisable to activate them indoors since removing your ski boots is necessary.

Beyond caring for yourself, it is important to maintain your skis. Regular waxing and tuning ensure a remarkable experience on the slopes. Have a look at our options for ski upkeep - Ski Maintenance.
