If you are new to skiing and don't know what to bring when you go skiing, just buy according to the list.
If you have been skiing near home before and have not been to far away places, you can add some small gadgets to enhance your skiing happiness if you go skiing in Xinjiang, Japan, or Europe in the future.
Snowboard
If you are going to places like Europe and Japan, just bring a snowboard. Choose a board that can be used everywhere, such as Jones's wild snowboard. Dovetail board is not recommended, which can only be used for deep powder. Japan is better. Going to Europe to ski in the Alps is more bumpy terrain. In many places, single board cannot slide down, and double board is the world.
Dumpling skin
Dumpling skin is not the dumpling skin for eating, but the elastic soft shell wrapped outside the snowboard.
SF Express woven bags, foam, transparent tape
SF Express is the cheapest to express snowboards, no one else.
Prepare a SF Express woven bag for yourself. It is free. You can wrap it yourself and ask SF Express to wrap it for you after receiving it. Don't throw it away afterwards.
Also prepare a roll of transparent tape. One roll costs 10 yuan in Keketuohai.
Wrap the snowboard with dumpling skin, wrap it with foam, and finally pack it like this. It is super cost-effective to send it to SF Express.
Binding devices, helmets and other items can be packed in a box and taken to the ski resort. It is definitely more convenient to drag a box than to drag a board bag. In some places, the passenger row and the back seat of taxis in cities are blocked by iron railings, so it is impossible to put a board bag, and you can't even get a taxi.
Snow suits and snow pants
Just buy a good-looking single snow suit and snow pants, the fabrics are the same.
Snowshoes
Snowshoes are the most important of all ski equipment. An uncomfortable pair of shoes will seriously affect the skiing experience all day.
Ski socks
Merino wool, you won't feel cold even if you wear it at minus 30 degrees.
Helmet
Ski helmet is also one of the most important equipment. You must wear a helmet when skiing. I broke a helmet in one snow season before, but it has never broken again since I changed to Oakley Mod 5. It is very strong and good.
Snowboarders usually remove the earmuffs of the helmet and wear a wire cap inside. With the earmuffs installed, you can't hear other people talking.
Wire cap
The wire cap is worn inside the helmet. On the one hand, it keeps warm, and on the other hand, it looks good. After taking off the helmet, it will not be ugly.
Snow goggles
At least 3 ski goggles, or 3 lenses: one for sunny days, one for cloudy days, and one for extreme weather (night, heavy snow, heavy fog), corresponding to different light transmittances.
Snow goggles fog cleaning paper
No matter how good the snow goggles are, they will fog up. If they fog up, don't wipe them with your hands. The more you wipe, the worse it will be, and the easier it will fog up.
If you want your snow goggles not to fog up, try not to cover your nose. It will be better to expose your mouth and nose.
Skiing face protector
You need to prepare 2 face protectors and change them. Face protectors not only protect the face, but also the neck, otherwise the snow will get into the neck and it will be very cold.
If you cover your mouth and nose, the goggles will fog up. If you expose your mouth and nose, it is easy to get a face on the goggles. Including the very popular stinky brother face protectors, they also cannot solve the problem of sun protection and fogging.
Girls must buy face protectors that can expose their hair on the side, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to wrap their hair inside.
Antifreeze stickers
The problems that face protectors cannot solve can be solved with antifreeze stickers.
Put antifreeze stickers on the nose and face that the face protectors cannot cover, so as to prevent them from being exposed to the sun. In addition, when the weather is very cold, you can also put on antifreeze stickers, which are slightly useful.
However, antifreeze stickers cannot be used every day. If you use them too much, your skin will be allergic.
Hip protectors
The choice of protective gear should also be based on different stages. For example, beginners with zero basic skills mainly prevent pain from falling. If they fall and hurt a lot in the first two or three days, they will lose interest in skiing. When you get to the diving platform, the main thing is to prevent falls. It is not important to fall from a 6-meter, 8-meter, or 10-meter diving platform. It is not important whether it hurts or not. The first thing is to avoid fractures and injuries.
Knee pads
Good knee pads are very important. Although the knees rarely fall, most knee injuries are irreversible. Unlike the buttocks, as long as the coccyx is not fractured, you can fall at will. If the knees are injured, it is difficult to completely heal, and there may be a root cause of the disease for life.
Ski gloves
Ski liner gloves
You can wear a liner glove inside the ski gloves, and take off the outer gloves when getting on the cable car to play with your mobile phone.
Sports bras
Girls use them, boys should avoid them.
Quick-drying clothes
The function of quick-drying clothes is mainly to wick away sweat and keep the skin dry. If the surface of the skin is wet, the wind will take away the body heat and you will feel cold.
Severe cases will also cause hypothermia. This thing depends on personal preference. Some people like tight and tight ones that can support the muscles. I don't like tight ones. I feel too tight when playing in the park. As for muscle support, I don't lack that little support.
Fleece jacket
The function of snow suit is windproof, waterproof and wear-resistant. The thermal insulation layer is made from the middle layer. Learn about the three-layer dressing method.
The human body is at 36.1℃~37.5℃, which is the best temperature for normal metabolism and skiing. The three-layer dressing method can dredge each other to ensure that overheating is avoided during exercise and overcooling is prevented when stationary, keeping the body warm and dry in the natural environment.
The first layer: quick-drying layer, which quickly drains sweat from exercise and keeps the skin dry
The second layer: thermal insulation layer, fleece jacket, short down jacket, etc., to ensure heat
The third layer: protective layer, that is, snow suit, windproof, wear-resistant, good-looking (key point), various matching
The warmth of a fleece jacket is better than the liner of a down jacket. It is particularly comfortable to wear it for skiing, hiking and mountaineering.
Short down jacket
If a fleece jacket is not enough, you can add a thin down jacket on the outside of the fleece jacket. Domestic brands are fine, or Uniqlo or Decathlon. They are light and comfortable, and have a particularly good temperature-locking effect.
For popular down jackets, just buy a stand-up collar, not a hooded one.
The fleece + down jacket together can withstand temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees.
Folding foot bath bucket
A travel folding foot bath bucket is a must-have for KE skiing, and it can especially dispel a day's fatigue.
After a day of skiing, even the most comfortable snowshoes will make your feet a little uncomfortable.
For novices and slope pushers, it is a magic weapon to save their feet. After a day of pushing, their feet will be useless. Some carve skiers will wear hard shoes, and their feet will be sore and swollen after a day of skiing. Back to the hotel, go out for a massage and foot bath, but don't want to move.
People who ski a lot can bring a folding foot bath bucket. It is only 17 cm long when folded, and it is quite large when opened. People who ski frequently also prepare one, because skiing every day will cause the cold to invade the body. Soaking once every two or three days can expel the cold.
Fill the foot bath bucket 70% full with hot water from the hotel shower, and then boil 2 pots of hot water in the hotel kettle. Pour one pot into the foot bath bucket, and you can soak your feet comfortably, and all the fatigue of the day will disappear.
There is also a spare pot. When the water gradually cools down during the soaking, add hot water. So don't fill the bucket too full at the beginning.
Children's shoe dryer
Some skiers will get their snow boots wet after skiing for a day. Get a shoe dryer to dry a bowl, and the snow boots will be dry.
Because the children's shoe dryer is small, it can not only dry shoes, but also gloves. After a day, almost no one's gloves will not be wet. If the gloves are not completely dry, they will have a peculiar smell when worn the next day.
Especially at the end of the snow season, due to the high temperature, even the best gloves will get wet after a day.
This small shoe dryer can dry both gloves and shoes, killing two birds with one stone.
Water cup
I use a regular plastic large water cup, not a thermos cup.
After arriving at the ski resort, first get a bottle of hot water. After skiing for 1 or 2 hours, the hot water becomes warm water, which is just the right temperature.
Screwdriver
It is very convenient to bring a screwdriver with you when skiing, although the ski resort also has them for rent.
The snowboard bindings often get loose and need to be tightened from time to time.
I use a Deli screwdriver, which is very useful. You should buy a PH3 head.
Small speaker
Bringing a mini external speaker when skiing can enhance the joy of skiing.
Earphones are uncomfortable to wear, whether they are bone conduction or something else, they are uncomfortable to wear for a long time.
Although this small lock will break with a light clamp with pliers, it is very useful-
If you add a lock, the nature of the snowboard being stolen is different. If the lock is pried open and the snowboard is stolen, who dares to say that this is not theft?
You can earn thousands of dollars by stealing a snowboard, and if you are found, the board will be returned to you. There is no punishment, which is why theft in the ski resort is so rampant.
The total amount of your snowboards and bindings is usually more than 5,000 yuan, which is considered theft, and the thief can be sent to prison directly.
Just buy a wire lock with a password and a retractable wire.
Snow suit cleaning agent
If I go to Xinjiang or abroad to ski for a long time, I will bring a bottle of clothing penetrating agent that can be used to clean snow suits.
