What to buy and what to rent
Illustrative image

Buy

Personal items that touch your body and that you will use the same way at any destination.

  • Base layers
  • Snow socks
  • Gloves
  • Goggles
  • Sunscreen and lip balm

Bring

The outerwear you already own, if it is waterproof and still fits. It doesn't need to be new.

Rent

Skis, board and technical boots. For growing children, essentially all technical equipment.

Renting at the destination also avoids checking bulky, expensive luggage.
