It’s Snowboard Vacation season! As I started to work on getting all my gear in order for my upcoming snowboard trip, it dawned on me. Packing for a snowboard trip is nothing like packing for a regular vacation. There is a lot more extra gear that needs to travel with you, and honestly it’s easy to miss an item or two. Fear not, I’ve been working diligently on making sure you have the ultimate snowboard trip packing list at your disposal!
I’ve created the ultimate snowboard trip packing list to help you pack for your next ski or snowboard vacation. I’ve been on enough trips and know that less is more, and unless you plan on hitting the back country and out of bounds section of the resorts, you’ll be in good shape with this list. Bonus! I’ve even created a PDF printable packing sheet that will help you. The Ultimate Snowboard Trip Packing List is really built for your resort vacation.
While going through this Ultimate Snowboard Trip Packing List, if you see a few items in red, it means that I have linked to a few of my favourite products. They are tried, tested and true and I know you’ll love them! Happy Packing and see you on the slopes!!
Snowboard Gear
It all starts with your snowboard gear. Here are the basics which you most likely already have. If not, you can always rent most of these items from the hill you are traveling to. If renting a board locally, I suggest that you bring your own boots. If you’re brining the entire kit, pack your snowboard boots in your snowboard bag.
- Snowboard & Bindings
- Goggles + spare lenses for varying conditions (One for Bright, One for Dark)
- Snowboard Boots
- Helmet
- Hand and feet warmers
- Ski Key to Lock your board
- Snowboard Bag
- Impact Shorts
- Back Pack while you’re snowboarding
- Multi Tool
Snowboard Clothing
Here is where you don’t want to skim, or go for chance at the hill. Bring your snowboarding clothing with you. Make sure you have adequate base layers (not made of cotton) and that you pack extras. Even if your accommodations have a laundry onsite, you’ll need at least 2 pairs of most things to ensure you have enough time to dry your gear before heading out.
- Snowboard Jacket
- Snowboard pants
- Base layers (wool and or quick wicking fabrics)
- Mid layer (fleece top and bottoms)
- Sports bra
- 2-3 pairs of gloves
- 3-4 Snowboard Socks
- Neck gaiter
- Skull Cap for under your helmet

Casual Clothing
You’ll need a good outfit to travel in, to chill in, and to hit the apres ski sceene in. Don’t forget that you are heading to a winter wonderland so winter essentials like jackets, boots, beanies and gloves are all important. (and I don’t suggest wearing your snowboard gear for these).
You may wonder why I’ve added workout gear to the list. Well, even after a long day on the slopes, some stretching or a little routine will help make sure your muscles continue to stay strong throughout your trip. Don’t forget your bathing suit for the hot tub!
