There is nothing better in the world than skiing on fresh-powder, with only a mild wind and sunny skies above you. However, as we all know, packing for snowy destinations requires a lot of patience and a hefty amount of luggage. So to help our readers pack for the long winter ahead, we accumulated our favorite ski (and snowboard of course) essentials to reduce the packing-mania!
Everything from which ski jacket is most warm (and chic!) to which face moisturizer I prefer, we’ve got you covered.
The perfect jacket consists of something stylish, lightweight, and as warm as you can get. I love listening to music while I plummet my way down the mountain, quite gracefully if I do say so myself, and having a jacket with a pocket for headphones is a necessity. Now, finding practical and stylish may be hard to find, but here is our favorite for those chilly days.
Finding a pair of ski pants that doesn’t make me look about 300 pounds heavier is tricky. I like a slimmer fit, but then you sacrifice warm, unless you happen to be wearing 3 layers of thermals under there. I don’t want to sacrifice my good-looks for practicality, so I found the ultra-cool brand, Bogner.
It’s all about the cool accessories to personalize your outfit. From texting gloves to bright neon goggles, here is our favorite gear!
If the suns out and there is a snow glare, I can receive a sunburn like its my J-O-B. I need to beef up the moisturizes and sunblock during this time, so these are my favorite products that save my skin from the harshness of the winter and windburn. I use La Mer moisturizing sunscreen, because lets be real, who doesn’t love La Mer creams? To top it all off, I use Kiehls Creme de Corps Body Butter for my cracked hands.

Since your lips are usually one of the only exposed parts of your body, you have to take extra precautions when protecting them. The skin on the lips is super-sensitive, so you need a strong SPF and a deep moisturizer. For generations the women in my family have been using Anthelios, we all swear by it. Its non-greasy, light, and effective.
After vigorously hitting the ski slopes for the day, it’s time to put on your best après-ski outfit. If you’re somewhere trendy such as Aspen or Vail, it’s definitely time to bring out your inner fashionista. Here is our lookbook of the coziest and chicest outfits you’ll find around town!
