Tips for an Unforgettable 2025 Ski Season

We know that there is a lot of planning that goes into making a ski trip possible, especially if you’re going with friends and family. Outdoor Master can get you prepared for the mountain, but getting there is on you. Here are some useful tips we think might help you on your journey.

• Where to Go: Consider visiting world-class ski destinations like Aspen, Vail, Whistler, or Jackson Hole. For budget-friendly options, check out resorts in Utah, Vermont, or Montana. If you’re like me and like to skip the long lines at more popular ski resorts, do your best to travel during times of the season that are less busy.

• What to Pack: Pack layers, waterproof gear, high-quality gloves, goggles, and a helmet. Don’t forget sunscreen—UV rays are strong at high altitudes, especially when those sun rays bounce off the bright snow.

• Safety First: Always wear a helmet, check avalanche conditions, check snow forecasts before you travel, and follow resort guidelines to ensure a safe experience. Unless you’re an expert and know exactly what you’re doing, it’s best to follow the rules and regulations of the mountain. 

• Stay Hydrated: You might think this is an obvious one, but you’d be surprised at how many people get sick up in the mountain simply because they don’t drink enough water The cold and high elevations can be dehydrating—drink plenty of water throughout the day, even when you’re not thirsty, and you should be ready to shred the slopes all day long!

• Be Awesome: Skiing and snowboarding are awesome, so make sure to take lots of pictures and tag us on social media!

By gearing up with the right equipment and following these tips, you’ll be ready for an incredible 2025 winter season. Happy skiing and snowboarding, and as always #DoWhatYouBelieve!
