Let’s face it, packing for a beach vacation is a walk in the park equated to packing for a ski vacation. With a beach vacation you drop a few pairs of shorts and tops and your swimsuit into your bag and you’re ready to go. Not so for a ski vacation. If you’re bringing your own ski instrumentation you have your skis, boots, poles and bulky ski pants and jacket. What’s a ski ardent to do? If you’re driving to a nearby ski resort or area, packing all that instrumentation isn’t much of a problem. But, if you’re flying on your ski vacation, there are a couple choices which will make the packing much easier. First, you might want to consider leaving your ski instrumentation at home and renting your boots, skis and poles at the resort. Of course, you may be the type to be horrified at the thought of using rented equipment. But, you might want to weigh your uneasiness with the hassle and inconvenience of packing and journeying with these bulky items. If the idea of renting instrumentation is worse than the inconvenience of journeying with your own equipment, then perhaps you might think when it comes to shipping your ski instrumentation and clothes to the resort in front of time, so that they will be there for you when you arrive. Be sure to call the lodge or resort in front of time to make sure they will receive and hold the package. In most cases they in all likelihood will. Be sure, of course, to tip them well for their efforts, and send the package to yourself, in care of the resort. Shipping may be overnight, two-day, or three-day depending on how far it has to go. You may even find that shipping your instrumentation to yourself is for less than paying the airline for the extra baggage. Besides your equipment, ski clothes and other warm winter wear, what else ought to you pack for your ski vacation? Well, here’s where packing for a beach vacation and packing for a ski vacation is similar. For both types of vacations you need to make sure you fetch your sun block. Many people make the fault of thinking they’re out on the snow and don’t need protection. When the sunlight reflects from the snow and hits your skin you could end up with a nasty sunburn, so do lotion up before skiing. Also, you want to make sure your lips are protected with a good lip balm. In addition, as with a beach vacation, you want to make sure to stay hydrated. Again, a good deal of persons think they don’t need as much water because it’s not hot. Wrong! When you engage in any action for an extended amount of time of time, you have a tendency to sweat and may lose up to a quart of water per hour. Skiing is surely an action that causes liquid loss, so it’s wise to carry a couple quarts of water with you. The easiest way to carry water while skiing is with a hydration pack. You may buy a simple hip pack or a vest hydration pack that fits around your chest containing a reservoir, with a tube that transports the water from the reservoir to your mouth. Expect to pay anyplace from $40 to $80 for a good hydration pack, which may also be used for other sports such as hiking or cycling.
