5 Things You Need to Know About Planning a Ski Trip- Get into shape for ski season.
Prepare for ski season ahead of time by making sure you're in good physical shape. Workouts that include stretching, leg strengthening, and cardio can help you stay safe on the slopes.
- Research and book your trip online.
Choose a ski resort with plenty of runs that match your experience level. Download maps of ski areas, and get information about lessons and other resort activities online.
- Create a ski trip checklist.
Before each trip, check the condition of your skis, boots and bindings and, if necessary, have them tuned up at a local ski shop to ensure their best performance.
- Protect skis while traveling.
If you'll be transporting your skis on your car's roof rack, protect them from damage and road debris with binding covers or a ski bag.
- Be prepared for winter road conditions.
Check weather and road conditions before beginning your drive. Make sure your tire chains are packed in case of snow, and leave early enough to allow for weather-related slowdowns.
