Spring Ski Gear Guide: What to Pack for Short Ski Trips

Baby, it’s still cold outside — and in many parts of the country, spring skiing delivers some of the best snow of the season. Improve your technique with lessons at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, or join a specialty clinic or a three- to five-day Mahre Training Center Ski Camp before tackling the runs. In Colorado, Copper Mountain offers great daytime skiing and laid-back evenings across three pedestrian-friendly villages full of family activities, restaurants, bars, lodging and shops. If you prefer to combine skiing with a spa getaway, Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa in Stowe, Vermont provides a relaxing complement to your on-slope adventures.

Standout picks include the Original All Weather lightweight gloves, which feature WeatherShield tri-laminate construction, a four-way stretch shell, moisture-wicking properties, a microfleece inner lining and touchscreen fingertips — ideal for keeping hands warm while still allowing you to use your phone.

For harsher conditions, the Heatwave+ Escape Mitt combines waterproof, breathable leather on the exterior with interior fingered gloves that use advanced dual-stage heating technology. Kinetic Stage materials help generate and retain warmth, while Reflective Stage layers send heat back toward your hands. Seirus’s sock liners use the same dual-stage heating system, delivering slim, low-bulk warmth that fits comfortably inside boots.
