For those who are new to the slopes, or who just haven’t clicked into their skis in a minute, here’s a checklist of everything you need to prep for the 2024/25 season!
START WITH BECOMING A SNOW CHASER!
There’s nothing like falling asleep the night of a big snowstorm, knowing you’re going to wake up to fresh pow, bluebird skies and plenty of skiing!
Stay up-to-date on all the coming snow days this winter by subscribing to our daily snow report or downloading the Cranmore app.
CLOTHING ESSENTIALS
- Waterproof ski jacket
We recommended getting a shell and a puffy you can wear together. You’ll be glad to have it when spring skiing kicks off and you want to shed a layer!
Ski pants (or bibs for those looking to mix it up)
- Base layer tops and bottoms
Make sure your layers are non-cotton. Once cotton gets wet, there’s no coming back; keeping your core warm and insulated is key!
Gloves and mittens
Wool socks (merino wool is our recommendation)
Ski goggles
Helmet
ITEM ESSENTIALS
- Skis or snowboard
Stop by the Cranmore Rental Shop for the essentials you don’t already have. We offer a large inventory of Rossignol performance skis and snowboards, helmets and ski poles.
Ski and snowboard boots
Credit card and cash
Lift Tickets/Season Passes
