Highly Suggested! Ski bag that holds all your skis, and poles.
Check with local ski businesses
for season long rentals if you do not own skis. All in town are good and can
help you. Bindings on skis are not universal fit. Make sure your boots are the
right system for your skis. Try them in the store before getting them to the
trails.
Put your name on all your equipment!

success...

of wicking (Under Armor, Columbia, Mountain Hardware, etc. ) long underwear,
tops and bottoms. Ski tights or lightweight fleece pants, lightweight fleece
top, wind pants and jacket. Reserve the
heavy jacket for the bus. Hat and gloves.

jeans etc. soak up water and do not dry. They are not safe in cold conditions.
Cotton kills. Show up to practice in
these and you will not be allowed off
