- Pass Case
- Lift tickets come in various types, such as IC cards or paper tickets, depending on the ski resort. For IC cards, they may not work well if you keep the cards with other items. Having a lift ticket case makes it convenient to touch or show the ticket at the lift gates each time.
- Sunglasses
- Sunglasses are also needed when you come for skiing or snowboarding. Because the shiny white snow reflects the sunshine, the amount of UV rays becomes twice as usual! While skiing or snowboarding you have goggles, it will be helpful if you have sunglasses when you have lunch or on a lift.
- Lens Cloth
- Have you ever experienced goggles fogging up, which make you difficult to focus on snowboarding? Even with anti-fog coating, water droplets may accumulate while snowboarding or riding the lift. If you have a lems cloth, you can wipe it off quickly. It also help you to keep your goggles maintained.
- Lip Balm
- Ski resorts are often dry. The dry climate make your lips dry as well. To prevent lips from becoming dry and chapped, it is important to moisturize your lips frequently. With UV protection lip balm, you can also simultaneously protect against UV rays.
- Snowboard Lock
- You do mot want to believe this but this is true... Snowboards are possible to be stolen. By using a cable lock, you can show your boards cannot be stolen to everybody. You can make sure your boards are safe with those locks. Choose a compact lock that fits in your pocket for convenience.
- Lens Anti-Fog Spray
- Goggle fog can be dangerous indeed. The temperature difference between the inside and outside leads to lens fogging. Applying anti-fog treatment before you ride is important. For airplane travelers, gel-type treatments are preferable to spray types.
- Action Camera
- You can take photos with your smartphone. But if you fall down, your smartphone can be cracked or damaged. In snow-covered mountains, action cameras like GoPro, which are compact, lightweight, rugged, and waterproof, are highly effective. Trying them out through rental services, where you can use them only when needed, is also a great option.
- Action Cam Mounts
- Action cameras come with various mounts, such as selfie sticks, helmet mounts, and straps for attaching to your backpacks or your arms. Choose the mount that best suits the type of video you want to capture and your skiing technique. To prevent dropping or losing the camera, it's recommended to attach a strap.
- Spare Battery
- In cold environments, GoPro batteries deplete much faster than usual. Keep the camera and spare batteries warm inside your clothing when the camera and batteries are not in use. For continuous shooting with GoPro for 2-3 hours, you should prepare 2-3 spare batteries, and 4-5 spare batteries for 4-5 hours filming.
- Hand Warmer
- Keep a hand warmer in your backpack in case when it gets too cold. They are also great for warming up your cold fingers. If you use adhesive warmers, be careful. While they provide you constant warmth, excessive sweating can lead you to discomfort from moisture and increase the risk of chills.
- Cough Drops
- The dry conditions in the snowy mountains can cause your throat to feel scratchy. Bring some candyies and have one when you feel your throat dry. Don't forget to stay hydrated with frequent water breaks!
- Backpack
- For use within the ski resort, a backpack under 25L is good enough. For backcountry adventures, a 25-50L pack is recommended. If you only need to carry essential items like valuables, a smaller size around 10-15L is also a good option.
- Hand Cream
- The cold, dryness, and wearing gloves that you don't normally use can cause your hands to become chapped. Be sure to use hand cream regularly to keep your hands moisturized.
- Hair Pins
- When you wear a knit hat or helmet, your hair can end up looking messy. Your hair can also become dry and brittle due to exposure to UV rays and dry air. It may be helpful to use hairpins to keep your hair neat before putting on your hat or helmet.
- Hair Oil
- The dry air and UV rays because of its cold weather can damage your hair. Using hair oil before snowboarding helps your hair not to dry. Be sure to use hair oil for care after snowboarding as well.
- Portable Charge
- Smartphone batteries are sensitive. They can drain quickly in low temperatures. It must be unbelievably inconveinient if your phone is dead. So be sure to carry a portable charger. To prolong battery life, keep your phone in a warm place, such as an inner pocket of your jacket.
- Snowboard wax
- Even if you wax your board before heading to the ski resort, unexpected warm temperatures can cause the snow to melt, and turn snow into slush. You must feel difficult to enjoy skiing or snowboarding. Although the effect of quick wax doesn’t last long, it is compact and easy to carry, so it's a good idea to keep one with you as a backup in case your board stops sliding well.
- Comb
- Tucking your hair inside a hat or inner layer can make it look messy or flat. Just combing your hair can make you look better!
- Screwdriver
- If you have your screwdriver, it will be great to have with you. You may want to tighten the bindings. Or, you may want to adjust your stance width and angle while snowboarding. Although some ski resorts have stations with screwdrivers, it would be difficult to find one when you really want to use. Many people prefer to have their own.
- Thermos Bottle
- When it's cold, there is nothing but a hot drink to warm you up. How about pouring some hot coffee into your bottle and enjoying a comforting break? I've tried various kinds of bottles, but the Thermos Ultimate Series Flask is the best.
- Sunscreen
- Snow reflects UV rays, which makes you get sunburnt more than usual. Moreover, at higher altitudes, UV rays are stronger, so even on cloudy days, it's essential not to let your guard down. Choose sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher and a PA rating of ++++ for maximum protection. Additionally, reducing exposed skin is effective.
- Eye Drop
- Goggles may not always protect your eyes from strong UV rays. Even you wear goggles, you may feel difficutly with snow blindness, redness, and dryness. Having eye drops on hand can provide you relief in such situations.
- Spare Parts
- The joint parts of backpacks like screws attached to the bindings can loosen and get lost without notice. Continuing to use them without joiont parts can put stress on the straps and may lead to significant damage. Having spare parts can prevent from damage beforehand.
- Band-Aid
- It's a good idea to bring band-aids in case of scrapes or cuts from falls or blisters from unfamiliar boots. Additionally, applying band-aids to the toe and heel areas of the shoe sole can be a useful trick to prevent slipping on snowy pathways.
- Boots strap
- Attaching carabiners to both ends allows you to bundle them up on your boots, which makes you feel convenient to carry your boots by hand. Opting for longer ones also enables you to carry them over your shoulder or around your neck.
- Snowboard Bag
- Sole cover types of snowboard case simply wrap around the board. But, when checking your gear for a flight, you should use a case-type bag that can hold boots and other small items together to prevent from damage. Since it can get heavy, choose the one that you can carry on your back for your convenience! While some type of cases have casters, they may be difficult to roll on snowy terrain.
- Bone Conduction Earphones
- Hands-free earphones are convenient for making calls while snowboarding without having to take out your smartphone. Listening to music or having group calls with friends while snowboarding would be fun too. With bone conduction types, you can hear external sounds as they don't block your ears.
- Glove Strap
- You often need to take off your gloves to use your smartphone or to take photos. Attaching a strap between your gloves and your wrists can prevent you from losing or dropping. Even when you take off your gloves, they hang from your wrists, so you can keep your hands free, which is going to be convenient.
- Medicine
- If you take medication daily, bring enough for the duration of your trip. You should carry medications you always use like cold medicine, pain relievers, and stomach medicine as a precaution. Since the way to the ski resort often involves winding mountain roads, don't forget to prepare motion sickness medication if you're prone to car sickness.
- ID
- When you rent equipments from a ski resort, you may be asked to show your ID, so make sure to bring it with you. In case of injury while snowboarding, it is important for you to have your insurance card for hospital transport and treatment.
