    Tips And Tricks To Go For Snowboarding And Skiing

    Trying to fit in a trip down to the snow can b a difficult process for many. Just like campers, snow lovers just can’t wait for their next outing. Regardless of whether you want to pop down for a weekend or take two weeks off, these tips will help you.

    Get There Early

    Waking up early on your day off or the weekend can be a struggle, but if you’re someone who wants to hit the snow you better get used to it.

    Leaving early to get to the snow is a must for campers and snow enthusiasts alike. Pack your things well in advance and get moving at the crack of dawn. If you’ve never been to the campsite or skiing destination, you’d best leave even earlier to accommodate your lack of knowledge.

    Getting in early means you’ll be able to find the best parking space and campsite, get a feel of the land and start planning your day or days or fun-filled snow activities. If you’re planning to take a snowboarding or skiing lesson, reach the destination at least an hour before the session starts.

    Since many of the snowy mountains are in remote locations, camping nearby means you’ll have great facilities at affordable rates. It beats staying in the resort which can be ten times what you’re paying for your campsite fees.

    Eat Properly, Stay Hydrated

    Fuel you up with a balanced breakfast that includes proper quantities of protein and carbohydrates. Have your food 1–2 hour before you hit the snow and keep energy-packed snacks for quick consumption. Also, avoid heavy meals in the afternoon and choose easily digestible foods.

    Regardless of the season, you may sweat a lot due to the activity, and your body loses water. Take sips throughout the day to keep your muscles active and keep your body functioning normally. Remember to keep water bottles in a backpack to hydrate yourself at all times.

    Stay Warm, Protect Your Skin

    While playing around in the snow seems like an almost childish experience, you can’t muck around when it comes to keeping yourself warm and protected. Snow is by nature a rather extreme environment, despite it’s fun looking nature.

    Wear warm clothes with multiple layers – you can add or remove the layers based on your body conditions. Several types of winter clothing are available to protect you freezing temperatures, including neck warmers, waterproof mittens and heat warmer packets.

    You should also keep your face and lips better protected from the wind and sunlight. Apply lip balms and sunscreens at regular intervals to keep your skin protected. Also, keep some tissues in your pocket to handle those pesky runny noses.

    Keep Your Body Ready For It

    One thing many people forget is how strenuous and physically demanding life on the snow can be. Even if you’re walking around and enjoying the sights, just getting around through the snow can be an exercise.

    It might seem like it’s a bit too crazy to do a warm up before you go out for a stroll but we recommend doing it because your body has a tendency to freeze up and become quite stiff on the snow — even if you’re all rugged up and warm.

    If you’re thinking about doing an activity like snowboarding or skiing then we definitely suggest doing a proper warmup. Stretch your body and get the blood flowing as soon as you wake up and before you leave. Don’t forget to take regular breaks and never try to overdo things.

    What You’ll Need To Pack?

    Every skiing and snowboarding enthusiast should pack the following things with them for a fun, safe, and adventurous slope activities. In addition to what we discussed above, your camper trailer also should be packed with the following:

    • Skis or snowboards
    • Skis boots or snowboard boots
    • Helmet
    • Poles
    • Day rush sack
    • Multitool for repairs
    • Shovel, transceiver, and probe
    • Warm hat, waterproof ski jacket
    • 2–3 pairs of ski/board socks
    • Goggles that avoid moisture build up
    • 2x thermal tops, fleeces

    You might need to communicate with your group while skiing or snowboarding, but the cold temperature can shorten the battery life of your phone. Therefore, put your phone in a zip-top bag and keep it close to your body or in an inner pocket.

    You can also spend on boot warmers to keep your ski boots warm throughout your activities — regular socks just don’t keep your feet warm.
