What to Bring to the Mountain
There's nothing worse than being cold. The following clothing list is really the minimum that you should have. Remember that layering with several layers will be warmer than bulking on one thick layer.
First Layer (long underwear). Synthetic fabrics like Polypropylene or wool are best. Avoid wearing cotton against your skin.
A warm second layer such as a sweater or fleece jacket and fleece pants for cold days, or if your ski jacket/pants are not insulated.
Ski socks with a high wool or polypropylene content (no t cotton athletic socks). Usually one pair of socks is best.
Waterproof jacket and pants. Weather in the NW is unpredictable. Staying dry is the key to staying warm. Insulated or shells work fine. Layering will allow you to adjust for changing weather and temperature.
Warm beanie/stocking cap (synthetic, wool, or polar fleece)
Ski/Snowboard goggles. Snowsport specific goggles are designed for the mountain environment. You absolutely need these if it is snowing at all. Moto goggles, etc. will not work well. We do rent goggles in our rental shop.
Warm ski gloves that are insulated and water resistant.
Polar fleece neck gaiter or face mask.
Rentals are provided. Please only bring your own equipment if it is newer than 3 years old and is not borrowed from someone else.
Please contact our staff at skischool@ski49n.com or (509) 935-6649 x610 with any questions or to check on availability.
