What We Recommend

Get Altitude Ready:
  • If you aren’t used to being above sea level, it’s ideal to arrive a day or so early to give your body time to settle in. Regardless of when you arrive, be sure to hydrate in the days leading up to your trip and continue once you are at altitude. Hydration is key to avoiding unpleasant side effects of altitude. Once you’re here, don’t push too hard on day one, and if you feel any discomfort, move lower down the mountain and take a break.
Clothing:
  • Layer! The weather in Utah can change day to day, and even hour to hour, so having layers allows you to adjust to the weather. Most of us think in terms of base, mid and outer layers, which combined, will keep you comfortable and happy throughout the day.  
  • Sun Block: Yes, even in winter, especially in the mountains. When the sun is out, it can be intense due to our elevation and the reflections off the snow; yes, you can get a sunburn even though it's cold!  Please apply, especially to kids, before arriving to lessons.  
  • Base Layer: Think "long underwear" - worn under your mid layers to create the foundation of your insulation. This layer should be breathable and wicking, so avoid cotton.
  • Mid Layers: These are your insulation, such as fleece or puffy layers, something that is not too bulky but traps warm air keeping you warm. If your outer layers are insulated, you may not need as much here.
  • Outer Layers: You will want to have a water resistant jacket and pant (or one piece suit). This layer may be insulated or not, but most importantly, should fit comfortably over your base and mid-layers and provide protection from both wind and snow.
  • Neck Gaiter: Worn around your neck and face, it works like a fitted scarf to protect you from sun, wind and cold. This simple item is invaluable to the pros.   
  • The Right Socks: Invest in a pair of Ski or Snowboard specific socks - we promise that one good pair of socks will keep your feet warmer and more comfortable than any bulky sock. 
For Kids:
  • Clothing: It is recommended to choose gear for kids that they can independently take on and off for comfort and easy bathroom breaks. If possible, allow them to wear it before their first day on snow.
  • Fuel: Don't hesitate to put your child's favorite little snack into their pocket for energy and their comfort.
