Here is Everything You Need for a 5 Day Ski Trip (Colorado)! Traveling out West on a ski or snowboard trip!?

If so, get stoked!! Skiing out West is the BEST!

I spent five days skiing out in Colorado in March at Breckenridge and Copper. What an awesome trip it was…Before I went I spent a good amount of time planning out what I was going to pack, what bags to use, and what I would actually wear for clothes. After getting back from Colorado, I have come up with the ultimate packing list for a ski trip like this.

This list includes all of the essentials with links provided incase you need to order anything else before you go! Ski gear, electronics, appropriate clothing, toiletries and more! This list will help assure you have everything you need during your time out there.

Let’s get into it what you should bring!

Everything You Need for a 5 Day Ski Trip (Colorado)

Know before you go

With most airlines, if you check a long ski bag to actually carry your skis in you are allowed to also bring a ski backpack for you boots and gear for no extra charge (like the kind you would take to the mountain for the day). You do have to keep everything under a certain weight though, so just double check all of this with you airline before you go.

What I like to do if I need a little more room is: bring your ski bag (the big one) and pack you skis, boots and as much ski gear into as you can. Then for everything else, bring a carry-on and pack that full. This way you don’t have to worry about the weight limit of your carry-on and it’s most likely larger. If you pack this way you are still also allowed to bring a personal item, like a small backpack or little bag which is nice. This sounds like a lot, but it’s totally doable to carry all of this into the airport!

When you get to the airport to check-in and drop off your ski bag. Be sure to ask which line you should be in, often it’s a different line than the regular checked bag line.
