Packing Essentials and Gear Recommendations

So you’ve registered, you're hyped, and now it's time to talk packing! Packing for the OSCJDSC ski trip is super important, so you're prepared for all sorts of weather conditions. Here's a breakdown of the essentials to bring. First up, the obvious: your ski or snowboard gear. If you own your own equipment, bring it! If not, don't worry – rental shops will be available at our location. Remember your skis or snowboard, boots, poles, and helmet. Layers are your best friend! Start with a moisture-wicking base layer to keep you dry, followed by insulating mid-layers for warmth, and finally, a waterproof and windproof outer layer. Don't forget a warm hat, a neck gaiter or scarf, and waterproof gloves or mittens. And yes, bring a spare pair! Sun protection is also key. The sun reflects off the snow, so you'll need a good pair of sunglasses or goggles with UV protection, plus sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin. Other essentials include warm socks (wool or synthetic), a comfortable backpack for carrying water, snacks, and extra layers on the slopes, and comfortable après-ski footwear for when you're off the mountain. Consider bringing a small first-aid kit with essentials like bandages, pain relievers, and any personal medications. For après-ski, pack some comfortable casual clothes for evenings, a swimsuit if there's a hot tub, and maybe even a fun outfit for any themed parties we might have. We’ll have a packing list for each participant to make sure that they are fully prepared. This will include all the essentials and a few optional items. Remember, it's always better to overpack than underpack. It's better to be prepared for any weather condition. Also, consider any personal items like your camera to capture those epic moments, your phone, and a portable charger. Please make sure that you pack all the essential documents. Keep these items in a safe, easily accessible location. We’re here to help, so if you have any questions or are unsure about what to pack, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Staying Safe on the Slopes

Safety is our top priority for the OSCJDSC ski trip! We want everyone to have a blast while staying safe and sound on the slopes. Here are some essential safety tips. First, know your limits. Don't attempt runs that are beyond your skill level. Start with easier slopes and gradually work your way up. Always ski or snowboard in control. Maintain a safe speed and be aware of your surroundings. Yield to others. Downhill skiers and snowboarders always have the right of way. Be sure to check the weather forecast and snow conditions before hitting the slopes. Be prepared for changing weather conditions. Wear appropriate gear, including a helmet, and always make sure your equipment is in good working order. Take breaks when you need them. Fatigue can increase the risk of accidents. Stay hydrated and eat regularly to maintain your energy levels. If you're a beginner, consider taking a lesson from a certified instructor. They can teach you the basics and help you develop good habits from the start. Be aware of the ski patrol. They are there to help if you need them. They are your friends! And most importantly, be aware of the other skiers and snowboarders around you. Skiing and snowboarding are shared activities, so always be courteous and respectful of others. Stay within the designated areas and respect all posted signs and warnings. Do not ski or snowboard under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It impairs your judgment and increases your risk of accidents. We'll have a safety briefing before we hit the slopes to go over these points. So, pay attention, and let's have a safe and fun trip for everyone. If you have any questions about safety, reach out. We're here to help you.
