Packing List

Winter Camping Packing List

Rule #1: No cotton in the winter... Period!

Pants: synthetic base layer or long johns with a wind resistant outer layer for the times we are not skiing. No Jeans!
Shirts: synthetic base layer or long john top with a troop shirt or similar
A synthetic troop sweatshirt or a fleece
A winter coat suitable for skiing/snowboarding
A warm winter hat (no baseball caps)
A warm pair of gloves. They should be weather resistant (not fleece).
Snow pants for skiing/snow boarding or at minimum so type of water proof layer to protect you if you fall from getting wet.Socks: wool would be best this time of year. Plans on having a couple extra pairs if you get cold easily so you can double up.
Shoes: I suggest a pair of weather proof winter boots and a second pair of shoes to wear if your first gets wet or if you need a pair to wear in a cabin if we are cabin camping.
Wool or synthetic socks. Extra pairs to swap out as your feet get sweaty.
