Snowboarding Gear

When Snowboarding you need to be prepared and have the correct Snowboard Gear. Conditions in the mountains can change rapidly. If you are well prepared with the appropriate gear you will have lots more fun. It is best to layer your clothing. This gives added warmth and you can take layers of clothing off if you are hot.

The essential clothing that you need is waterproof mittens or gloves, thermal underwear (long pants and long-sleeved top), waterproof/windproof breathable snowboard pants, warm, medium socks that are a snug fit, a waterproof/windproof breathable jacket and underneath a polar fleece or jersey or layers of tops to suit you personally. Have with you a warm hat, goggles or sunglasses, a water bottle or hydration pack, sunblock (and use it!) and lip protection.

You will also need healthy snack food like banana, dried fruit or nuts. As well you may like to carry some sandwiches or something for a lunch break. Now you are set for a day on the slopes...
