Planning a snowboarding trip with kids? Here’s a complete list of must-have items and practical tips based on our own family snowboarding experience.
🎿 Ski Wear, Gloves, and Goggles
- Ski wear: Choose one size larger so kids can move easily and use it for several seasons.
For Kids
High-performance snow pants combining waterproof protection and warmth — perfect for snow play and snowboarding.
Perfect for baby’s first snow adventure ⛄ A waterproof and warm set from THE NORTH FACE.
For Adults
- Gloves: Waterproof gloves are essential. Wet gloves can make hands cold and ruin the fun.
Made with GORE-TEX for excellent waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance. Keeps your fingers warm and comfortable in snowy mountains.
A popular GORE-TEX model from REUSCH — perfect for snow play and skiing with excellent performance and durability.
- Goggles: Protect eyes from snow glare and strong wind. Sunglasses are not enough for snowy weather.
Double-lens design reduces fogging and maintains a wide, clear field of view. Excellent value snow goggles.
Low-profile design fits smaller kids’ faces comfortably. Clear visibility with anti-fog performance — great for first-time snow adventures.
🧣 Base Layers and Thermal Clothing
- Over-layering with heat-tech wear can make you too hot when moving. Instead, choose breathable and moisture-wicking materials.
- A good balance between warmth and ventilation helps kids stay comfortable all day.
Perfect as a base layer for skiing and snowboarding. Warm, flexible, and easy to move in — compression type innerwear.
🧤 Neck Warmers
- Neck warmers are a must to block wind and snow.
- They are safer and easier to move in than scarves.
Keeping your neck warm makes a huge difference in cold weather.
A must-have item for skiing, snowboarding, and everyday winter use.
🎒 Useful Extras
- Hand warmers (kairo): Use non-adhesive types so kids can warm their hands or pockets as needed.
- Extra gloves: Bring one waterproof pair and one soft thermal pair as a backup.
- Extra socks and clothes: Always pack a dry change in case of wet snow or falls.
Essential for keeping your feet warm on the slopes!
Soft, thick ski & snowboard socks that work great for both adults and kids.
- Waterproof plastic bags: Ideal for storing wet clothes, boots, or gloves after snow play.
Convenient PP bread bags for storing homemade bread or gifting.
Thick, durable, and tear-resistant — a popular half-loaf size.
🏂 Rental Tips
- Most ski resorts offer rentals for snowboards, boots, and ski wear.
- Gloves, innerwear, and snow boots are usually not available for rent—bring or buy them in advance.
- Sneakers will get wet easily, so waterproof snow boots are highly recommended!
